    It's not the cut off its the bulb. I can see a shadow from the bulb when it moves. You people act like this is the first ever hid, we've used them before we know it's bright.. Smh

    I'm assuming you're speaking on behalf of TRS? In any case, what time frame should we expect, and is this something that we should delay the initial purchase to receive?

    I've had these in my truck for the past month, thought i give them a try since they are only $40 bucks. Were recommended by a member on here. 6000k match my DRLS perfectly, i even ordered a set for my fogs, which i don't really use.

    You *kinda* can, but it's just not the right solution. I suspect these new higher-density grommets will fix the issue, since they were made especially for the issue here.

    Using a flat tip screwdriver and a cloth covering the tip, just the tip, pry off the black plastic frame surrounding the foglamp. The black plastic frame has 5 pry-off clips and a tab insert on the in-board side.

    So you're saying pry off the frame and then pull the light out to replace the bulb? I thought you guys were getting to the fog lights from the back, I figured either from the top, bottom, or maybe wheel well?

    I just want to state that I have experienced zero bounce after purchasing and installing myself the HID lows, LED highs and LED fogs.

    Lights are super bright and I have no complaints at all. This all from TRS!

    Cheers

    When I was installing mine, I thought I needed to be laying on the floor and get access by the tire but after struggling, I found out you just pry them off from the front. After you remove the frame, you have to pop your hood open and put your arm down through from behind the headlight assembly to remove the one screw holding the lamp in. You do this with both sides.

    Well they are plug and play, everything looks to be good quality, I had two problems installing but was because I didn't read the directions. First, I didn't take off this white ring next to the grommet, that's why they wouldn't twist on the headlight, Second, they didn't fire up, I had to flip the connection downloadfile.jpg
