    I don't mind them being split, actually makes routing easier, but an additional foot of wire on each side would give so much more flexibility. The ground on my passenger side just barely makes it.

    Just need a heavier conductor. What's there is pretty thin for the long side both on power and ground.

    I must have been the last guy in on this thing because right after Im placed my order, they sent out emails/posts saying that the kits would begin shipping. I ordered mine on 11/14 on got them today!!! Now, I just need to get with my buddy Marcus to do the install.
    BTW If you are looking for a good HID retrofitter, check out THIS thread.
    And HUGE Thanks to AndrewTRS for putting this together!!

    The solenoid wires are thicker, but we haven't seen a need (yet) to thicken the ballast wiring. I definitely will make note of it now though!

    The only way to tell is the lens frame. It looks metal in that picture which tells me FX-R. Minis are black plastic.

    I just did my black housing and about to start the retrofit and put them back together.

    Obviously, I will try to wipe it clean but regarding the wiping, I was told that you're not suppose to wipe the inner part of the clear front glass, any truth to that?

    Just use an alcohol pad, or sunglasses cleaner, you just don't want fingerprints on the projector class or scratches

    Booo, i opened my TRS Package just now, to find out i got a different shroud than i ordered.

    Earlier the year, I ordered a set of Projectors from TRS.
    So for this GB, I pretty much got the same options, except my shroud is completely different looking.

    Now i have to spend EXTRA $$ to send these back to get the CORRECT ones.
    And not to mention more TIME!!

    Not cool at all!!!
