There seems to be a lot of interest in the new 7.0. Currently I have FXRs with a 35w setup. I have a set of aftermarket assemblies wasting space so may just use them and sell my current headlights. For those who are experienced would you do the FXR or 7.0? I feel like the light could be a little better so want to try a 55w this time to see what kind of difference it will make. Thanks

 

I haven't seen any output shots of the 7.0's. I'd like to see some

 

There are 2 on the TRS site. The FXRs are a bigger headache to install and I feel like a 7.0 would be more secure for the long run since I can use the supplied hardware. Between the mini h1 6.0 and FXR I don't think I notice a difference that makes it worth the extra work

 

The 7.0 does have a longer shaft so you don't have to shave the back of the bowl down. So if its easier install, I'd go with 7.0

 

Thanks for the link @Goose8651 , fog lights ordered with a 15% discount!!!

 

Way easier install. With the FXR you have to cut the bowl to make the hole way bigger so it just the JB Weld holding it. It's been fine for a year and a half with some off roaring but still wonder about the long term

 

I did it! I finally did it!

pulled the trigger and ordered $368.68 worth of goodies to do my retrofit. Andrew if the order comes across your eyes, can you please verify that I didnt jack anything up and everything I got is compatible. my order # is: 100082202

Looks good. My only suggestion which is probably a very obvious one is to not rush yourself so that you can take your time and do a great job. It's the kind of thing once you seal them you can't really make any changes or adjustments without having to go through the entire process again.

 

yep!

I have a back up set that I already opened up and have ready to paint. Will do all the painting, modding and adjusting, then will open my stock headlights up and use the nice non pitted covers. I am in no rush and plan on taking my sweet ol time doing these. especially with a 6 month old and sharing baby duties with the wifey.

 

Excited to get some lights here soon! Hopefully the group buy is still active

 

@TRSAndrew, are the xsb switchback halos being sold on the website right now the 2.0 version?

 

It's active... pretty much always ongoing

 

Only certain sizes for now, I think they're replacing all of them sometime this month

 

oops i totally missed that post. thanks man.

 

Yeap!

 

@tacodane V2 are bright as fuck. Way brighter and better. Here's my comparison picture

 

Yea I've been using the new ones and they sure are sweet
