    That looks pretty cool with the pearlizer in there. Did you buy an extra set or just not driving it?

    I bought 1 from Ebay, so i opened it and started painting.

    I think shipping is included. Not sure if I am doing it yet - I understand 2013 may have issues with a mounting ring fitment?

    The mounting ring is easy when comparing to the FX R

    With the TW group buy they do not give free shipping. Mine was 17 dollars and I live in Delaware. Good thing is I got the MH1 and saved over 70 dollars by doing the group buy.

    I asked TRS that question today- they said the hi/lo's only get stuck if the shield gets bumped during shipping. they told me to operate it 40-50 times before instillation. if it looks good then you're a go. if not, you may need to call trs or do some mods. There is a stick on HIDPLANET covering mh1 stuff. I'm not worried because the warranty looks solid.

    warranty is not whats worrying me. these guys seems like they take good pride in their customer service

    my concern is that , i test it 40 times before final install. seal everything and bolt everything back (front bumper, etc), then two weeks later my high beams are stuck. thats really my only worry now...im confident with the install, etc

    Its not common for the shield to stick... however, if it does the fix isn't too bad even after they are installed. I've done it and could easily talk someone through it

    They use the same lens on the projector, and the installation is similar, but the projector reflector and frame are different.
