Little update:
Not much has gotten done the last few days. Been a little under the weather.

What I did work on was tinting the amber side reflectors with a SVT logo etched in the tint.

Before tint.

After tint.

I wasn't fond of the way it turned out so I stripped it down to try a bigger logo.

Don't have any pictures of that one done yet but I think it looks better overall. Will post pictures tonight or tomorrow.

Now my next conundrum is what design to go with for the custom lens etching for the projectors.

Like shown below.

One from Raptor Retrofit.

Here are a few ideas. Let me know which ones you guys like.

The stock F-150 Emblem which is an option already from TRS.

Or go a little more unique with a Raptor SVT logo.

Go with a simple SVT logo.

If this one was possible, it would look pretty cool. But I doubt it would work.

I'm not too into the different colors from the projector but over all it's pretty badass and would be awesome to get done. They came out very nice!!!

I don't care too much about all the colors. I really just want either red or blue.

Red is alright for me only cause it would match my truck but I I would kind of just stick with regular light not different colors, it's all still pretty sweet though don't get me wrong

Quick update:
I re-did the side marker reflector and made the SVT logo larger as the original one was too small for my taste.

I also installed some LED turn signal bulbs after looking at various designs.
I like these bulbs as they have LEDs in all directions.

Here are a few shots of one headlights output.

Went ahead and ordered some new lenses to be custom etched. I will be going with the Raptor SVT logo as shown in post #13.

I will provide an update when I receive the new lenses. Which will probably not be till late next week.

Well these are pretty much finished now with the exception of wiring the RGB lights and installing some ferrite blocks.
Last week i received the custom etched lens which came out great.

Here is a little side by side with it lit.

Lit with red. Dont mind the gap as the shroud is not installed.

Close up of the headlights on and the accent lights on full amber.
