So did u have instructions or was it pretty simple and just figured it out. Oh and pics on ur truck would be awesome!

I found a few write ups on here and rhe org on installing projectors. I've done another retrofit so I had a good idea how to do it. I'll get some pics later today on the truck

Cannot understate the benefit of the BCM reprogram I posted if you are running led turn signals. . .

Pay no attention to that DAMN CHIP IN THE STEP BAR!!! Cooper ST MAXX tires=rock and pebble assault.

Had mine done by RetroCustomz, also had him do custom LED fog lights. Love the look!

If you run LED turn signals, having the Body Control Module reprogrammed as described in the Ford Vehicle Bulletin I linked to earlier in this thread, it will solve any hyper flashing issues that come up and should make it unnecessary to even wire in resistors.

Mikeyfitz · Jul 16, 2015

I put resistors in. I should check out that thread though

Oh ok I missed that. That's good to know man thanks. Think I'm going to stay with stock bulbs in there anyway

Here is retro #2 and #1, the chrome and black is the mini d2s x lens and the blacked out ones are the 3" FXRS

what cost are you looking at for single projector in each headlight and the ballast kit been looking into this exact setup just on a 06.

I think I have about 550-600 in each setup that I have made. I got an extra set of headlights off kijiji for $150, then the parts from TRS was 350ish I think.

They came out great!!!

Also, apparently reprogramming the BCM as I posted earlier can lead to issues for some. Like a bad circuit in the BCM for the front turn signals. The work around is tapping into the turn signal in the mirror, for the switchback turn signals up front. Worked like a charm. Just don't confuse the wire for the trailer brake/signal wires that are roughly the same color.
