    Do you think its possible to bend that tab that sticks out with out damaging the led? Do you have any picture with your halos on the truck

    When I got mine in August the soldering was in the back on the LED rings, not like yours. Still was a pain to mount them on the shrouds

    Mount the LED halos on the inside of the shroud and let the openings in the shroud show off the shape.

    Will figure that part out when I get the kit and see what looks best with how i am doing my retrofit. How do you guys test the halo before installing? Like a battery?

    I though about that but there's no way to isolate the bend to the tab without clamping the actual led. The aluminum is very sturdy. Don't have any closeup pics of them but I can take some for you tomorrow. All the chrome is gone too so it looks a lot cleaner now (see sig).

    Halos only

    I would have much rather had them that way though. Just drill/trim holes in the face of the shroud and it would look so clean.

    They didn't aim straight back. They were parallel to the bottom of the LED so a trough had to be drilled for them. I kinda messed that up a tad and the wires are somewhat exposed there. No one notices unless you walk up and stare right at it.

    Took the battery out of my truck and put it in my living room floor haha. TRS sends test leads for the bulbs and ballasts too so I could fire them up also.

    Ahhh well at least I'm not the only one who had to get creative with a dremel!

    Welp.. My ballasts are messed up too. So you guys just said to email them? Hopefully they'll just send me the new ballasts when they're done and I can send mine back when I get the new ones in the mail.

    What are the issues people are having? When I fire my truck up in the morning, now that it's cold, my lights will pulse very slightly for a good 5 min or so.

    I believe on/off. Trs said they received a bad batch and for about a month received complaints and they linked it to the ballasts. They said the new shipment won't arrive til Dec 10
