    Its not going to be above 0 degrees F here for a while so I don't know when I will get them installed. Looks like they shipped from NY and I am in MI. Maybe you are further West?

    I got my adapters today.

    I drove around tonight and had people flashing me anytime I hit a dip/bump on the road or anytime I was on a slight incline. I had my father-in-law drive ahead of me about 100yds and he said it looked like I was constantly flashing my highbeams at him. Not to mention his vision would be above the cutoff...then he would see a bright blue light and then see a blinding white light....then back to blue and then his vision would be above the cutoff again. The roads are really lumpy around here this time of year with the cold temps. If I crank them down lower I can't really see any further than my factory projectors would shine. In fact I think I see less on the left side of the road. The only gain I have now is the road is brighter in front of me. I can't see crap above the cutoff....pitch black. I don't want to be that guy that blinds drivers on the road

    No, but they are the same price. http://www.fastheadlights.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=buy_chevy_fxr-adapter-kit-only http://www.fastheadlights.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=buy_fxr-adapter-kit-only

    I just ordered the FXR adapters as well and would like to get the caps so I can install everything at the same time. Let me know when you have verified the caps fit properly. Thx!

    FXR projectors with xb35 5500k on a 2500 silverado.

    Do these look like they are aligned ok? I'm thinking i may need to lower them a bit.

    I'm not even sure mine are on left to right...i was mostly concerned bout getting them level on the horizontal plane. When I pulled up to the neighbors garage from about 20-25ft away it appeared as if they were shining about waist high and the distance between lights seemed to be about the same distance the lights are spaced on the grill. I'll try to get some pix tonight when it gets dark.

    That is correct. On the first attempt they were both slanted 15 degrees in opposite directions. Only way to correct was tear it all apart .....drill out projector holes and twist to level.

    Not sure how the rest of you leveled your projectors in the housing but I had a hard time getting them level. I had to keep taking them apart and making adjustments until it was just right. The output looks absolutely awful if both lights are not perfectly level. Now that I have it all leveled and aimed, the output is amazing compared to stock. I think I need to find some cooler running high beams now because when I flip them on they look like yellow candles Any recommendations on high beams that would match up with XB35 -5500K?

    When I ordered from TRS they told me I needed the 2.5" projectors so that is what I ordered. I later discovered that they needed to be the 3" projectors so they overnighted them to me with a return label or the 2.5". I held on to them for a few days so I could see the difference at install time....they are quite small

    I just got done installing my FXR's. A projector adapter would make the process go MUCH faster that is for sure. Also, if the morimoto wiring harnesses were not sh!t that would help too. The relay kit wiring is so short it hardly reaches from ones side to the other. The retainer clip snapped off while plugging into the ballast on one side. The 9006 splitter I purchased so I could have 4x highbeams was not crimped right and would not send power to both outputs. Of course I didn't notice this until I had installed the headlight and put the wheel liner back on. Ended up prying the bad terminal open so I could redo it and not have to wait for a replacement. I used half a roll of 3M Super88 to seal up the dust caps. I hope it holds up until I can get the caps Crf450r420 is making. Also, the 2.5" FXR projector lens that TRS sent me looked like quarters in the housing compared to the 3" lens.

    Thanks for the reply Phil. You should put the first few sentences of this post into your "About Us" section on your site. I'm going to start my silverado install tonight. I would be willing to give you $100 for the kit but since I don't like to wait I'll probably make due without it unless there are alignment issues

    I emailed them 2 days ago and no reply either. I guess they don't like to sell products.
  15. onsteder
    I'm just going to remove the factory projector and insert the FXR. What adapter are you referring to?
  16. onsteder
    TRS claims the light output is the same but they also claim the 2.5" is the correct lens so I don't know how much I trust them. We just got 15 inches of snow this past weekend so I'm will waiting to do my install
  17. onsteder
    TRS is overnighting me the 3" FXR projectors so I can return the 2.5". I will try to get pix of both the 2.5" and 3" in the 2500 chevy headlight during install.

    Thanks for the info. I've watched a video on how to replace the grill so these instructions make perfect sense. Sounds like it will be much easier than the 20hours i spent installing my Webasto coolant heater
  19. onsteder
    I've not had a chance to check it out yet since I don't have a garage and its too cold to work outside, but how difficult is it to remove the headlights? Do you have to pull the grill or are there just bolts above and below the light? I plan to tackle this job some weekend in my in-laws garage but I like to know what I am getting into before I start. I have to make sure I can get it done before the weekday since it is my wife's daily driver

    Thanks for the pix......I just went out and looked at mine....not really any difference in the gap between the projector and the housing. I agree with the centering....that would bother me too. How do you like your dmax otherwise?
  21. onsteder
    Removed....doublepost.
  22. onsteder
    That blows, hopefully I can get them to swap them out and pay for the return shipping since they were wrong. I even pointed TRS to this forum and asked him to double check since users were saying 3". He said they do a lot of them and 2.5" was the right size and 3.0" was too big. I guess I got the noob

    Hi all.....I'm new to the forum and have been reading through pages and pages of posts but I haven't seen anyone post about the 2.5" FX-R. I talked to Carlos at TRS and he said I needed the 2.5" lens for the 2015 Silverado 2500. Against my better judgement I went with his recommendation and ordered the 2.5" but now I think the 3" might have been the right call. I measured mine today and it looks like the opening is at least 2.75". Do you think the 2.5" will be too small?
