FAQ


Q. Is there a warranty?

A. Yes. I offer a six month warranty on workmanship. TRS components follow the TRS warranty period. For example, 5Five Ballasts carry a 24 month warranty. 3Five ballasts carry a 60 month warranty. Etc... No hassle warranty. Shipping cost will be taken care of by TRS for U.S. transactions. For owners outside the U.S., you will be responsible for the shipping cost per TRS.

The cost of shipping the headlight(s) to to me is the original owner's responsibility. I will be responsible for the cost of returning the warrantied headlight(s) to the original owner within the U.S. Sorry, if you are outside the U.S., you pay shipping both ways. This warranty is NOT transferrable. Any modifications and/or tampering of headlights will void the warranty.


Q. How hard is it to install the headlights and wire harness once I receive them?

A. If you have a slight bit of mechanical skills, then the installation will not be difficult. The wire harness is plug 'n play, no splicing of the OEM harness is required (unless your lights are equipped with LED Angel Eyes). The new, retrofitted headlight bolts up the same way your old one was removed. Wire harness instructions are included with your shipped headlights as well as online.

The OEM headlight aiming mechanism remains fully functional. After your retrofitted headlights are installed, some fine tuning will be required utilizing the OEM adjusters. Fine tuning is defined as matching both the left and right cut-off so that they are level with each other. As a rule of thumb, I recommend aligning the height of the cut-off to be horizontal with the upper trunk line of the average sedan.

Q. Where can I learn more about retrofitting, projectors and HID bulbs?

A. The Retrofit Source (TRS) has a tremendous amount of online material to enhance your retrofitting knowledge.

Q. What's the difference between the bulb colors?

A. Kelvin Ratings: 3000K - Has a golden yellow output perfect for use in fog lights. The yellow light penetrates through snow, rain, and fog more effectively than white or blue light. 4300K - Has a slightly off-white output similar to that of sunlight. Most cars that come equipped with HID headlights from the factory use 4300K bulbs. If you want the most usable light, 4300K is the Kelvin rating for you. 5000K - A pure white output, no tinge of yellow, and no tinge of blue. 6000K+ As you move into the higher kelvin ratings, your light output will appear more bluish-purple in hue, but the bulbs won't be physically as bright. I do not offer 6000k bulbs. As HID bulbs age, they go through what is known as "color-shift". When the bulbs are brand new, the output is whitish-yellow and as physically bright as it will ever be. As the bulbs age with use, their output turns more pure white/bluish and also starts to dim a bit. That's why cars with factory 4300K bulbs that are 5+ years old look like they're running 5000K or higher bulbs.

 

Nice way better than your old thread I'll be on your stage 2 list soon

 

Yes and still more surprises to come from me

 

Thats excellent Burt!

 

Damn I still need to get my retro fixed lol

 

popcorns please

 

Damn me for ordering my retros 2 weeks ago...but looking forward to getting mine tomorrow in the mail!

 

Feel free to come by and drop off your headlights

 

You already got them though

 

when you coming back to so-cal some one is coming to pick up the lights tomorrow

 

It probably won't be until Dec or January.

 

I want in on the group buy. I want 12+ stage 1 and to look just like the one in the first pic. Apollo 3.0 shroud blacked out and smoked 5000k bulb. Is $910 final price for that style? Any negatives to go from stock to this? And how much brighter will they be and if bulb blows any harder to replace then stock ones. Sorry for so many questions.

 

I'm interested. What am I missing though? Can't figure out what's the difference for the 12+ Stage I and Stage II. The description appears to be the same.

 

Yes that would be the final price for that exact set up. I would say the brightness is easily twice as bright over stock and you will be comparable to a BMW or Mercedes with OEM HID projectors. Bulbs are replaced exactly the same as stock through the back.

Stage I uses aftermarket housings. Stage II uses OEM Toyota housings.

 

Which one is better

 

Thanks! Didn't catch that.

 

Performance will be the same in terms of output but OEM quality can't be matched.

 

So less chance of fogging and etc? What you mean quality and I'll probably get stage 2 then

 

PM'd

 

what if i want the kit to do myself
