Installed Retros by Maven

So I got my retrofits from Maven and brought them down to mantown aka the garage.



Opened the boxes - packaged very nice





Layed everything out in front of the car to see what I had to work with



Every connection was clearly labeled.



Which I took off as things got connected the final time ( did a mock up first before wires were hid and headlights bolted in )



Did a testing of the lights before i put them in for good. Yep everything works



Finished setting them in









Notes:

Ive had two sets of retros, one by maven, another by a vendor on here. ( please note not bashing anyone )

The quality of Mavens retros vs my last set are FAR superior.

Little details down to the lenses being epoxied in on the sides as opposed to just snapped in. The rear of the lamps impressed me too. Clean mounting of projector, no silicone dabs here and there, no wires running through the gasket, a separate hole was made and closed to exit the wires. The harness. WOW that thing is amazing, no extra blue plug on the passenger light, all things are connected, and coated to prevent corrosion. Just A+ product. Have my reccomendations for sure.
