    Finished these up a few weeks ago. Had both xbled drivers go bad talk about bad luck but Andrew at TRS is awesome and got me replacements really fast! I used depo headlights for the fx-r retrofit kit from TRS with morimoto 5five ballast and 5000k bulbs with xbled halos behind the apollo 2.0 shrouds. These things are freakn awesome. Very happy with my first ever retrofit.

    PS sorry for all the people i used to blind with my cheap ebay pnp hid's.

    That's a really slick look. The rings are wired to your running lights? And do you still have hi/low beam, like the bixenon bulbs?

    Thanks for the info. That's one of those mods I want to do after I get a few more offroad/performance mods done.

    good work on the retro fit! I did the same deal with TRS 25%off. I went with the fx-r stage 3 kit. I am waiting for a free weekend to install it.

    Thanx I thought I did good for my 1st time ever. Just do a search on retrofit write ups and you'll see how it's done.
