    Uhm, yes I did? I wasn't able to use the coupon while it was still supposed to be working. So I called Tuesday and they honored the coupon. I'll call tomorrow and see about getting the priority mail instead since it's only $11.85 more...

    Not many 1st gen write-ups... But it doesn't look very hard. Just kind of like a puzzle.

    Oh, and because I got in on the 25% off discount I had to switch from the free shipping option anyways so it all worked out. They shipped out today. Now hopefully this Winter storm doesn't delay everything....

    I looked at a first gen the other day, your install will be easier. And if you screw up a light replacements will be much easier to find!

    You can basically follow my guide, pull your lights apart and skip right to removing the reflector bowl. 1st gen lights are just the headlight so it helps you out! Less steps

    Not sure why I didnt think of this before but I was browsing the TRS website and notice when you order the morimoto mini H1 stage 3 kit it gives you an option to get the OEM Denso AMP ballasts for $90 more.

    My question to you HID/retrofit experts is if I dont want to wait any longer for the replacement "redesigned" ballasts, will this OEM Denso ballasts work if i have no problem paying the difference?


    but i guess the bad thing is: according to TRS website,"
    With all this good, what about the bad? Well, OEM ballasts are designed to be mounted completely or partially inside of a headlight housing, so their shell is not water-proof without your help".

    hey AsianAnts
    what about location on where to mount the ballasts

    according to TRS website,"
    With all this good, what about the bad? Well, OEM ballasts are designed to be mounted completely or partially inside of a headlight housing, so their shell is not water-proof without your help".


    is there anything we can do to make it sorta water proof?

    I replied to your email about this. We can definitely get you into those Densos but unfortunately not in lieu of replacement ballasts.
