    I have all black wires, Morimotos from TRS.

    I used the provided soft O rings, and do not experience any shaking. Drove 100ish miles yesterday on California's I-80 and I-5 and didn't notice any shaking or anything that I could tell... all I notice is extreme brightness and daylight in front of my truck!


    and from what I can tell the bulbs only go in one way. There are 2 smaller tabs and 1 larger tab that match the factory halogen bulb exactly.

    You must have received the newest wire harness. My wires are gray and black that connect to the bulb socket.

    I just received my kit yesterday, but I haven't been home to open the box yet. Once I do, I'll report back on what colors wires I got.

    As for those with the led high beams, did you use the big rubber boots that came with?

    I can absolutely 100% confirm that mine WENT IN 2 ways, one way they were a little on the loose side and the other way they are super tight. They work fine and do not wobble or shake.

    Sounds like there are lots different brands out there that folks are using, I am using VLEDS Morimoto and am 100% happy.

    How much force did you use to turn it in the other way?

    And little more than the loose way, they started to go, I thought I was exerting to much force and then they clicked into place, super tight.

    I didn't mean to come across as saying you were wrong. My apologies if you took it that way. I was just saying that the version I have do not, which based on the color wires I believe are the older ones

    Does anyone have issue with the driving led light going out after installation of Morimoto 50w hid kit?

    I have the same issue. Had to call TRS and request a warranty process to start. They sent me an email and in my case it is one of my igniters. They don't want it back so you have to send in a picture via email showing that you cut the cord to destroy the part. Then they supposedly send you a new one.

    What seems to be your issue? Must have been from shipping all the way to WA lol

    My issue is one of the wiring harnesses. I swapped every part, one at a time, and the only thing that made a difference was the wiring harness that connects the bulb to the igniter. Once that was switched, the bulb that didn't light did, and the one that was lit before didn't.

    Let me try and explain the issue I am having:

    I installed the hid kit and everything worked for 1 day. The next day when the headlight turned on, only 1 side turned on. I notice the passenger led driving light went out. Took it back to the dealer and they had to replace the entire unit. Got it back from the dealer and re-installed the hid kit. Same thing happen after 1 day of use. Now both headlight led driving lights are out. Either is a weird coincidence or the kit had something to do with this. I am going to take pics of the installation and send it back to TRS for review.
