    You need the H4 relay cable. You will need to order it with the retro kit.
    Your factory system uses 3 wires. The HIDs only use 2, plus a solenoid to lift for high beams.

    The relay cable also includes a circuit that maintains power on the lamp all the time, and lifts the mask when you go to high beams.


    Fog lights, it's just a simple relay that you can buy at any auto parts or electronics store.

    We need more than 6.
    Keep in mind that 20%-50% of these guys aren't going to come through if this is anything like every other group buy I've been involved in. We get the discount code when we have 25 on the list, but they won't start filling discounted orders until they have 25 orders in-hand.

    We have 19 now, but we really need at least 30-32 before we can be comfortable that TRS will actually be able to ship.


    I might end up ordering two sets, but I'm not going to add that to the list because I'm simply not sure and don't want to apply that 2nd set toward the 25.

    Question....my depo set of lights will be in this week so I'm gonna go ahead and tear them apart and be ready for when I get everything from TRS. The headlights will already be painted black, but when doing retrofit does most everyone paint the reflector bowl? I mean it shouldn't affect light output at all with it painted or not painted right?

    Your call whether you paint the reflector bowls or not, some do, some don't. With projectors, it's purely aesthetic, the reflector bowls will no longer function in regards to light output.

    What kind of paint is good for doing the reflectors? And what kind of prep is needed?

    Depo Sport headlights arrived today.

    Will spend some time this weekend opening them up and prepping them for the projectors.

    Come on.... only 4 more needed if everyone follows through and buys!
