    I thought folks were getting away with that with fogs. I'm still ignorant on HID + Fogs (just starting my research). I really like these... the price is better than what they list on their website for my '13. Thanks for info.

    Put halogen or LED bulbs in your fogs or high beams. HID bulbs can be used in your low beam projectors. I went with the Morimoto LED fog assemblies but they're a premium.

    i have a cheap 35w HID kit in my fogs right now and they do a pretty good job staying pointed down.
    If you look behind the factory fog light housing it also has up and down adjustments sort of like the projector but it just changes the angle of the bulb.

    However im sure these 35w morimotos are brighter than even my cheap 55w kit in my projectors.

    I use my fog lights all the time and fog is rare in the high desert of California.
    I haven't been flashed yet.

    I read through every page and didn't see if they have fixed the bounce issue. Maybe I missed it.

    For those that are complaining of the bounce in the passenger headlamp, take note that the driver side also does it but I believe we don't notice it like the passenger side due to our siting position. I verified this one during a night trail ride I did...damn near annoyed the hell out of me. If I could have seen where I was going with them being off, I would have just turned them off.


    I am going to do a retrofit with a different projector to see if that helps.

    From what I did read it seems different bulbs fix the issue. But I was hoping TRS has a solution. If they don't believe its happening then I don't mind driving up to Atlanta and showing them.

    I asked for the stiffer gaskets and I don't notice the bounce at all. I love these HID's.

    I'm much closer to TRS than you are so I'd be happy to show them the issue when I talk to them about ordering the new projectors either tomorrow or Tuesday.

    We can both show up. I am interested in getting new HB and fogs as well if they have a fix. You definitely win on being closer, it's 1.5 hour drive for me.

    That's exactly what I plan to run. I will opt for the STi-R projectors.

    I don't have any bounce on streets or highways. I didn't install the bulbs with the older softer gaskets when I got them. I started with the new ones.
