gaterose build thread

Liking the red LED's.

Nice set up Gaterose!!!

As for the headlights. I plan on doing dual projectors in each lamp. Talking with the guy that will be doing the retrofit, this setup will give me more light than the LED bars. Of course.....being able to do this conversion myself would save me a few hundred bucks.

For your LED back up lights in the lower rear bumper, are you using a lens? I really need to ad more light back there esp with tinited windows. Cant see much.

That red looks sharp.... reminds me of the movie Predator when they were going in on the chopper.

Thanks! I like the red too, I was afraid I wasn't going to and almost didn't do it. I also like the white but I don't think it'd be good for my night driving. I've been on the highway and 3 in the morning and thought the stereo was way too bright (at full dim) so I certainly couldn't handle 50 or so extra little white LEDs brightening the interior up.

What do you mean am I using a lens? I just have the 3x3 LED flood beam lights? Yes, the tint is one of the reasons I need all the extra light probably...
 
I forgot to add that I pulled the BORA .75" wheel adapters a few days ago. As much as I loved the stance, they were scrubbing some times and the looks weren't worth the loss of function.

I'll try to get some pictures soon but I don't like driveway shots and not sure when I'll have time to get out. Besides there are already pics earlier in this thread from before I got em.

I saw your pics and how you install the rear bumper LED. That's a good idea mounting it the wat you did. It'll be great for tailgaters :wacko:
 
i cant imagine how bright your RAS Dome lights are right now... insane.... take a pic with just those on...

It is completely insane.. May be too bright. I saw it last night when I was testing, but we just took a ride tonight and I just said "damn this is bright"

I was looking at the pics from earlier and thinking that my running board lights were dim but it's just the brightness of the interior now.

I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.
 
that looks sick. need those for my tundra. one thing id like to say is you should put white led's in the step lights. other then that looks awesome. does he have a website for those led's?

p.s: still want your wheels :D

The light strips under the truck actually is white, just 4300K instead of 6000K.. I actually like the color better but you're right that it doesn't match the interior, especially now that the interior is not just bright but F*CKIN' BRIGHT.

I may swap em eventually but for now they're there. They're actually also really bright, they're just dwarfed by the new panels from whitebeauty.
 
Final product of the red LED swap.

I may add some more red LEDs or something else for the indicators as well as modify some of the cluster light colors.

Not visible in the photo, I made the D red so when I'm driving the entire cluster is red. VSC and TRAC are also red, and the CEL got the boot since it's never gonna leave me alone about the EVAP thing.

The red is nice and mellow, even my girlfriend agreed it was much better.
