Any Dallas area members interesting in assisting me with a FX-R retrofit, I am a bit hesitant to do this myself and potentially end up with a non-drivable vehicle. If there are others in the same boat as me, perhaps we could do this as a meetup, which I would be willing to host??

 

Parts I am planning to get:

1. Bi-Xénon Projectors: 2 x FX-R 3.0 (3" Lens/LHD)

2. Ballast Igniters: 2 x Morimoto XB Igniter (D2S)

3. Shroud Preference: 2 x Apollo 1.0

4. HID Ballasts: 2 x 50W: Morimoto XB55 Computer

5. Wire Harness: 1 x HD Relay: 9005/9006/9012/H10

6. 2014+ GMC Sierra FXR Adapter kit only

Ideally I would like someone to help me to through each of the steps there's a guy in Houston right now but he wants almost $800 that seems a bit obscene. If your local in Dallas shoot me a text to figure out if I can recruit you

if you haven't done this year i did this mod on my 2014 and it was actually really easy (I'm and aircraft mechanic by trade and pretty mechanical inclined). but I really don't see any reason to spend 800. Get the retrofit kit from fast headlights.com and everything will go pretty smooth. took me about 10 hours start to finish but i was really taking my time. If you are mechanically adept, and have a halfway decent work area its really is pretty easy. Totally worth it too. Light output is way better.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
