    That i'm not sure. I don't see why not as long as the bulb and connections match up. A better person to ask would be AsianAnts, look him up he knows more about this than i do. But if you get a mini H1 kit from TRS it comes with everything you would need.

    Just be sure to seal them back up really well.....don't skimp on the silicone around the edge. there are many threads on here about retro's, find some and read em. all the info you need is here. you can also go to HIDplanet.

    if you get the H1 kit it comes whith everyting you need. Check out the thread I posted. it talks about the retro in there. also I think whippersnapper talks about how you DONT want "bluer". and why people "think" they do want bluer.


    EDIT: is was Wolfpack

    X2, bluer is not better if you really want to see what is around you.

    That was helpful, but I don't want a strait blue maybe a 6k or 8k kit. That's why I was wondering about the ddms or slimcubby kits fitting, because I could try a different color if I wasn't pleased with what the kit came with. I've seen alot about Phillips bulbs, is this what kind of bulbs the Retro kit has?

    Thanks man. Does the mini h1 have the 2 little wires like the ds2? What are the wires for and do you have to wire them into anything or is it all pnp?

    I've read a few Things about having to mod the shrouds. Do you have to mod the mini gatlins. Also I want to do the bhlm and retro. Does anybody know a good place to get an extra set of headlights so I can work on them while my others are still functional and have a backup?
