HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

[armyman22]

How do you get the TRS 10% code. Im ready to pull the trigger just having a hard time justifying the price. Any savings would help.

Create an account on their website and add the lights to your cart then just leave them there. In 2-3 days they'll send you an email with a one time use code for 10% as they recognize you have stuff waiting in your cart to purchase. I think I added them to my cart on Friday and got the code yesterday. I saw some people talking about it somewhere in this thread and gave it a shot. Every little bit helps!

Good luck to ya. The hardest part is being patient and waiting for that email...

Without searching this whole thread, does anyone have a picture with morimoto HID's in 6500K on a sierra? Want to see what it looks like next to the LED's.

 

My DDM kit is failing and has severly lost its color and brightness so I'm switching to morimoto for now, until I get my RX350 kit down the road. I've got the Rigid DOT fogs and currently my 5000K HID's don't get anywhere close to the color, I think possibly since they are crappy kits. I'm interested to see how the 6500K bulb would compare. Or if anybody has 5500K with Rigid fogs, that would be a great pic too. I just think mine are too far gone to compare.

 

Thanks

Just got my 10% code from TRS and getting ready to order the 35w 5500k sierra spec kit for my SLT. I saw abominable z71's post explaining that the SLT's don't need the capacitor link since the LEDs function as the DRLs.

 

I've seen a few post of people with SLTs not using the capacitor without any issues. However, the guys from TRS said they haven't seen a sierra NOT need it. So wondering what's the verdict from all the SLT owners - is it needed or not? Also, how do the 5550ks match up to the factory LEDs as far as color?

 

 

I went with the capacitor link on my 2014 SLT. No problems so far. I've been running them for 3-4 months. The color I chose was the 5500k. It's not an exact match to the LED DRLs, but pretty close. I think the angle you look at the lights with the stock projector changes the perceived color somewhat. It's more blue at that cutoff and white down below.

Thanks for the reply man. The spec kit comes with the capacitor link regardless, but if I can eliminate a point of failure then I'm all for doing that and just not installing the link. I keep going back and forth between the 4500k and 5500k. I really want pure white light and I can live with a tiny hint of blue - just don't want the blue to be overpowering.

 

Any chance you could post a few pics of yours?

Here is a pic with 35w 5500K osram cbi with rigid dually (non dot)

I think the rigids are closer to 6000K the iPhone pic made them look like a closer match to 5500K (and made the LED strips look like half are on)

First pic is 4500K Sierra spec kit, second pic is 5500K with fxr retrofit done and have since brought left side up a bit. I am also running the capacitor link, been over a year and no probs

Thanks man. With your FXR and rigids, is it a closer match than it was with HID in stock projector?

Yea I would say so, but I was running 4500K before in stock projector and now they're 5500K in fxr. I think if you went any more than 5500K then they wouldn't match well with drl LEDs

Here you go.

Has anyone ran HID in non-projector housings? I know it's not ideal, but there has to be someone who's done it. I'm wondering what kit you used.

If you use any standard kit in a reflector housing you're going to be blinding all drivers on the road. Its illegal and you want to avoid that.

Yeah. Don't be "that guy". It's not just "...not ideal" but that combination has enough bright unfocused light to be hazardous to oncoming traffic and to you, as a result. It will bring attention to you by law enforcement,maybe when you least want it. Say after you've had a beer or two. There's just no justifiable reason to do it. It's irresponsible and instead of being cool, people will just think you're a horses arse punk.

I hear ya. I know it's awful, just looking for brighter light as well as more defined white-less yellow. I've ran HID's in numerous trucks w/o projectors and I aim them slightly lower which helps with oncoming traffic a little. Still not proper however.
