CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

My money is on that small (gold or black) control box... I think is listed as a computer on TRS website. I had a similar problem and it was a sticky relay in there. New box fixed the problem.

 

X2 I also had that problem and a new box fixed my issue also

 

A forum unfortunately won't be any quicker than emails--in fact it would be slower. For immediate service in the future, I recommend giving the Customer Service dept a call or using live chat on our website.

With that said, if there's no corrosion, and the lights are reluctant to turn on, it sounds like a new MotoControl box for the harness is what needs to be sent out--you don't need to send anything to us.

At your convenience, if you could shoot us a message on Live Chat or email me your order number, we'll get a replacement out ASAP for you.

My email is andrew@theretrofitsource.com.

Sorry for the troubles in the first place!

 

Andrew @TRSAndrew if you order the Panamera LED shroud with the stage 3 kit roccemended on 1st post, you don't need Halo rings, the LED in the shroud takes place of them correct? Also, is the LED ring/circuit board removable in order to be able to paint the shroud?

 

Sorry for the delay in replying to you guys helping troubleshoot. I was in Dallas for the past week. Anyway.....

It's both sides.

Tried that....No luck

Hope this is it. I wound up having to purchase a new one through TRS. Apparently when I bought the kit during the first group buy back in 2011, the warranty was only good for 2 years on parts/accessories (not 5 like it is now) on their kits. Got me...but they discounted the harness a few bux.
I'll be swapping out the new control box tonight after work, so I'll keep everyone posted.

 

Oh, I also picked up a pair of the Ferrite Rings to try and knock down the radio interference. The description says output cord of the harness or input cord of the hid bulb...Anyone figure out if one spot works better than another?

 

I put ferrite rings on and it didn't help

 

ehh, i figured for 5.00, it was worth a chance.
Where did you place yours?

 

On the amp wire from ballast to the bulb

 

Ok...maybe I'll try the output wire then lol

 

Correct and yes it is removable to paint!

 

Andrew @TRSAndrew another quick question, as I am still deciding on shrouds, tuff decision, if I go with the Apollo 3.0, what size halo ring would I get to fit behind it?

Those two Apollo's are the ones I am torn between.

 

The ring size is listed on the product page for Outer and inner rings. I just got the Apollo 3.0 with my D2S kit

 

Speaking of halos, has anyone ever mounted a backlight for the M45 shroud?

 

I think Andrew did, I can't find the picture. Maybe on his instagram

 

@TRSAndrew Can we get a GB/discount on Retrofit LED bulbs??? 3157 CK Switchbacks for 1st Gen Fog Light Mod!

 

Thanks for the group buy. Just order on Thursday and already received it today, man was that fast. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get some time to work on it.

 

They're pretty quick with shipping. Imagine living in the same state! What did you ended up with?

 

Ended up going with the d2s mini with Apollo shrouds and 4500k bulbs. Just need some free time to get them in. Hopefully soon

 

If you can get 25 other people interested I can definitely do a group buy for you!
