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.

 

Rock on man! Kudos to ya

 

Wish I had more money. Bump for a great product and a better guy

 

so stage one is with new headlights correct?

 

Yes brand new aftermarket headlights included in the price.

Stage 2 is OEM headlights.

 

So I understand this the halo is on as the DRL when main lights not on correct? That and the park lights yes?

These look very nice indeed.

 

On the 2012+, you can wire it to turn on with the DTRL, off when either parking lights or headlights selected.

Or you can tap into the parking lights so it's only on with parking lights/headlights.

You could also run a separate wiring harness and wire it independently.

 

Love these, definitely going to get a set. PM'd with a few questions.

 

If only I wasn't saving my pennies for my exhaust kit...Hopefully I can get some cash for this soon!

 

Do you take core rebates? I have a 2015 with less than 1.5k on it, would help easy the hit. Love your work.

 

Can you explain the difference between halos being rear and front mounted

 

I was waiting for the second round! PM sent!

 

When does the groupbuy end? I might be in for another set

 

This halo is front mounted or directly in front of the shroud. This allows the complete halo to be visible.



This halo is rear mounted. The light from the halo is only leaked out based on the openings in the shroud. Not all shrouds accommodate this but most can be made to work.

 

I would like to cut the groupbuy off at the second week of January.

 

I'm interested but had a question. What are some of the advantages of buying the OEM housing vs the aftermarket ones? I'm tempted to get a set of the aftermarket ones, but not sure if they have problems with leaks, etc. Thanks for the help.

Very interested in a set for a 2012... Wondering what you would suggest for a bulb 4300 or 5000? And is there any longevity difference between the 2?
