As Eppie stated they are the factory calipers I just painted them 5 coats of paint a set of decals & 6 coats of high temp Satan clear coat...
I think the slotted/drilled rotors & the paint make some people think they are AN aftermarket caliper set up....

Nice mods KOOLFELLA, I ordered the DRLs that you posted. I am currently useing my running lights with high output LEDs that run unnecessary tail and dash lights.
Black truck with tinted windows... I don't want to give anyone an excuse to say they did not see me coming
I had an option for the button type for the Beat-Sonic when I ordered it and you chose the other option.

The highbeam and DRL has the same intensity. The little LED is used to test polarity, white/black is the negative on both sides.

How would you rate the DRL LEDs? Are they really bright in high beam @ night?
I'm using COB LEDs. They have a better 6000K reflection under DRL mode and extremely bright in high beam. The design of the COB LEDs is very appealing inside the headlight housing.
Your HID 4DS bulbs seem to be yellowish...
What brand/ color are you using?
I'm using MTEC 8K bulbs!

Close-up image of the COB Led...
COB Led in DRL mode, disabled it bc of using Philips Daylight 8 DRL LEDs...
COB Led in High Beam Mode...
eBay sell the COB LEDs and price is approximate $80. Really worth the money. Exceedingly performed and looked better than the traditional SMD LEDs!

Is that a wire to your radar/laser detector? I have a DIY that I need to put together and post on how to hide that.
By the way, your truck looks good with the limited pics that you have posted. I am not a fan of the obvious aftermarket LED strip though.
To each their own LOL, I know some here dislike my truck modifications also.

Yes, it's a laser/ radar detector. I hardly used it unless on long interstate trips. I purchased it after my 3rd speeding citation within a month? Can you believe my bad luck or perhaps the cops were targeting "Lexus" vehicles?
I agreed with you on using cheap, aftermarket adhesive LED strips but I have to make an exception on the Philips Daylight 8 DRLs because they are bright and the high quality design. They are concealed underneath the bumper for an OEM like installation.
I preferred the Russian GX460 body kits with the LED DRLs but don't want to pay $10K for the parts & shipping.
Your GX460 also looks great.
My next projects... Any advice or recommendation?
1. Upgrade to EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and EBC sport rotors.
2. Upgrade to quad exhaust (similar to your GX460) but want to keep the spare tire mounted.
3. Upgrade headrest DVD monitors for 3rd row seats viewing (for my kids).

^^^ yeah, I was thinking about that when I did not see any difference between DRL and high beams. I rarely get the chance to use high so I will probably stick with them for the nice white DRL.
Can you return them or are they in the garbage now?
