CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

stop into any retail store and just ask someone that works there. i've worked at several diff places and the stocking room floor has always been littered with them, literally every pair of socks, gloves, hats, or whatever, comes with a packet. a ski store is a gold mine for silicon packets

 

Interesting that it would work after you placed everything back to its original spot. I would keep an eye on it still. At this point, it can be anything. Keep me updated!

 

@TRSAndrew @TRSJimmy
Are either of you guys running the osram cbh bulb in your personal rigs? Currently have the cbi that are getting a little old and wanted to try something a little different and can't decide between the night breakers or the cbh

 

Will do! It gets driven maybe 2-3x a week and the headlights are on maybe once a week so the chances of it happening again soon are slim unless there's actually a problem.

 

To all the light and halo gurus!! I had a set of light built and I chose the switchback panamera shroud because I really like the 4 corner led lights like the actual panamera has. So I had the builder paint the shroud and block off the halo but leave the corner led's. I still have the switch back function on the 4 corner leds, so I can chose between just white, just amber, or have them switchback. But now my main question is: How do I wire them so that when I turn on my headlights the 4 corner/halo led's turn off? reason being is that I've heard that the halo's burn out over time. So wouldn't wanna tear into the headlight to just replace another halo.

 

I've seen CBH's in person but haven't ran them in my truck yet. I currently have CBIs and love them. How old are your CBIs?

 

Little more then a year and a half

 

Oh man, you still have plenty of juice in them! Keep in mind though, Nightbreakers are ~4200k vs CBH's ~6000k.

 

I thought about that time is when they start loosing there brightness? Ya I think I'll just stock with CBIs not really into the halogen look or the really blue ricer look

 

No sir! Save your moolahs. Even Morimoto ones don't lose brightness over a year

 

Anyone have any experience with the bi-xenon: Acme H1 kit? looks like a good kit for a fair price. was jundering if these were a good kit and wanted to see if anyone wanted to chime in.
Here is the kit I'm referring to https://www.theretrofitsource.com/c...versal-kits/bi-xenon-acme-h1-stage-3-kit.html

 

People have been pretty happy with those! If I were you, I would definitely upgrade to ACME Super H1 projectors vs the standard one.

 

As I was asking about these I was viewing them on my phone but when I got home to a computer I noticed the dimensions of them vs the mini h1 and they seem pretty similar.
I think if -or actually WHEN I upgrade to retrospective I will go with the 3" fxr
I like the way they fill the headlights better

 

OR you can go for the Mini D2S 4.0! Easier to retrofit and IMHO better than FX-Rs

 

Hmmmmm I doooooo like those too
Looks like a I got some thinking and drinking to do...
It will probably be a while before I pull the trigger on this anyway. still saving up on front suspension. after that I'm thinking retrofits

 

Mini D2S is the way to go

 

can you buy a full headlight housing already done if I dont feel comfortable opening the housing and installing myself?

 

Yes. There are multiple people/companies building and selling completed retrofit headlights.

 

Yeap you will pay alot more for it though. search the forums there are a few people providing that service

 

@TRSJimmy will the Bluetooth LED products be available during Black Friday Sales (assuming TRS is having a Black Friday Sale)?
