    You and me both. It's my first retrofit and I have nowhere to aim these things! Stupid apartment complex has bushes on every side of the buildings.

    Sorry, I did not see that. My bad. I am a long time customer with my last fxr retrofit still going strong after 2 years on my truck. I am looking to retrofit my 2012 civic. Can I purchase the stage 3 kit for my civic through this thread? If so, what projector style do I need and how many more people for the next queue to ship? Thanks

    Have a question for anyone that can answer. The rubber housing caps, where do you install them in. I know its probably a know brained but I just want to make sure

    My guess would be around the area where your stock bulb clips into, only circular part I can think of

    Please tell me you don't mean you're putting HID'S in the halogen reflector bowl?

    The large rubber cap that you would pull if you were to change your stock bulbs for example..I put mine back on after the retro and used the rubber cap that was on the hid bulbs..stuffed it on the back side so the stock seal pushes against it and creates somewhat of a seal. So far so good. If the weather is okay tomorrow I'll snap a pick of what I did..

    Ya please. The ones that came with the ballasts I cut off due to the angle the ballast connects to the bulb..

    To those that are finally getting their retrofits and are about to tackle it, good luck! Just take your time and everything will be ok!

    But I want to give you guys a heads up. When gluing the shrouds to your projector, be careful not to put too much. Some can drip onto your high beam motor and you will not have high beams like myself (just the passenger side.) As you can see, the jb weld dripped onto the projectors where the high beam mechanism moves in and out. I had to dremel out just enough so that cylinder can move freely. I made the mistake so hopefully you guys won't do the same :)

    Oh yeah, the customer service from Andrew and the whole TRS crew has been wonderful. I had a problem with one of my halos and Andrew promptly sent out a replacement and I got it within a day. (Does help that I live in the same state :) ) Thanks!
