My lights arrived.... the box is professionally packed, foam filled and I'd say that Tony needs to quit his day job!
I'll get some pictures up.

Something I noticed... In the pics on the first page, the projector unit looks square, whereas in the pic of the early style, the projector unit is round.


What's the reason for the different internals?

Different strokes for different folks. The latest and greatest projector from The Retrofit source is a round projector. Slightly better optics. When we built CrazyJims, the square was the best performing.

Opened the box today... I'll say that this is the best packaged box I've ever seen! Double boxed, expanding foam to make the box full, not just a bunch of peanuts... this is how a box should be packed.

All the parts/pieces are bubble wrapped, foam filled over lights... very nice.

Headlights are re-sealed very well, they look awesome! Includes the marker lights as well. Can't wait to get them put in.

Glad to hear your experience with Tony has been good! I emailed him this week and he responded within minutes. I asked him some specific questions about the lights and he promptly responded again with links to the parts he uses. This put me at ease as it was obvious at that point, he has nothing to hide. I was concerned about longevity, especially where I live, where conditions can go from -30 degrees F to +90 degrees F. He assured me that the parts he uses are well built and stated he offers a 2 year warranty, no questions asked! I also asked him about upgrades and he mentioned halos or higher performance bulbs, but didn't try to up sell me. Very impressive! I'm looking forward to seeing some more of these lights in people's hands!

This round style right now has the better optics correct?
I know I am giving you a workout with posting photos. But do you
have any of the optional setups that you can post photos of?

I am thinking with that yellow truck of mine sticking with chrome
will look the best. But what are the side lightning options that you
can create? One thing I do know for sure is no halo
