Trex3050

Hey not to rehash already covered topics, but can anyone shed some light on why the HIDs work perfectly (no flickering/buzzing) without the capacitors attached? To make them work in AUTO I just have to switch to headlights on, then go back to AUTO.

I budgeted for the project because I wanted to go all out. I bought the Halos back on Black Friday just to give you an idea of how long I've taken lol, I actually found a guy on Facebook and bought his stock headlights for 100$ ( a rare find for OEM heads) so that I wouldn't be rushed. As far as projectors go, I bought 2 sets of Bi-Xenon projectors. TRS sells a Quad Bi-Xenon Harness that will allow you to run 4 low beams and 4 high beams at once but I figured that would be overkill. So I set up my more expensive projectors in the original low beam spot. I then ordered a high beam splitter from TRS so that the high beam function of the top projector would work with the "high-beam" (2nd projector). Since I have way more output than I will need and the "High-Beams" will mainly be for show, I removed the shutter in the 2nd projector set so that all the light will be allowed to flow through (i.e a high-beam if you will). So in summary, on the low-beam setting, the top projector comes on alone with the solenoid cut-off. When I flip the high-beam switch, the shutter opens in the top set and allows all the light through, and the bottom projectors turn on (rememer, I removed the shutter in this set). If that sounds super confusing I could try to explain it better lol. By the way, as soon as I finish fixing my amber reflector problem and put the headlights back on my truck I will post pictures of the light output. It is insane and on the low-beam setting, I didn't get flashed at all because the cutoff is so crisp and designed to not blind others.

I have an LT so full on reflector retro haha, took awhile but oh so worth it. And yeah, as soon as I fix my amber issue I will test the capacitors again

Just a teaser for anyone who wants to gawk

Hahaha Amen. There is a buzzing noise when I first turn on the lights but after they begin to warm up it is completely quiet, that is why I am so puzzled. And yes, I ordered from TRS and I also have the HD H11 Harness (might be why it works so well). I will try to reverse polarity when I put the lights back on my truck. Had to take them off so I can repaint my ambers They were PITCH black, couldn't see the turn signals during the day lol, saved myself the ticket and just decided to fix it now.

Hey, just finished up my build last week. Did you ever get an answer for the capacitor? I had the same problem and have just been running the lights with no capacitor. They work 100% however; I have to turn my knob to Headlights on (the auto feature results in the flickering)
