    I would like to know the answer to this question as well. Unfortunately it seems @TRSAndrew and @TRSJimmy no longer frequent TW forums, which is sad. If you look at their profiles they haven't had any activity for months now.

    I went by TRS and saw Jimmy- there's no way. I traded my front halos for switchbacks

    Well, I can't argue with you, but I asked them both a question on TW a few weeks back and got no response. If you look at both their profile pages, it shows they haven't been active for a few months now. @TRSAndrew last post was 04/18/17, and @TRSJimmy last post was 03/17/17. I'm just going off their profile posts. I'm not saying they've abandoned TW and no longer provide support, I'm just saying I don't think they're active on these forums anymore.

    Oh yeah they aren't. I'm just saying I went and saw them in person. Jimmy said he hasn't been online.

    Huh. I don't mean for this to come off rude or in the wrong way, but you would think "being online" would be part of their job. I've seen soo many helpful posts from both of them over the years, and very informative videos posted on their youtube page, that it's odd to hear he hasn't been online. Again, not trying to bad mouth them or anything like that. I'm going to be ordering a set of D2S's here in the very near future. I've heard emailing them directly or calling their customer support is the best way to get a hold of TRS.

    I'm sure they won't turn down an old fashioned phone call. The info they provided on here is definitely helpful, but I'd think their business phone/website/email would be my first try as this is just an enthusiast forum.

    TRS provide support to a plethora of online forums and while TW has ordered quote a fair amount I'm sure TW is probably one of their least contributing forums. That being said if you want a forum they are still actively engaged in almost daily try hid planet.com. I can only imagine how much tech support only a handful of them have to provide just from their website let alone every forum they are members of. 99.9 percent of questions can be answered by retrofitters on here or members. What exactly was your question? Im on my phone and can't find it!

    How much are you asking, and is it just the projectors or a hid kit?

    Tons of gay shit
    Does anyone know, roughly, the cost of switching over? Just looking to get a simple projector with LED bulbs if that will work. Not cool enough for those sweet rainbow color shifts:p

    3” lift. Sway a ways 2.5 on 285 75 16 and much more
    So just incase anyone has had the same problem I did, here is a short video of what I ended up doing.
    Problem was there was not enough thread to install the bulb so I had to shave down to make it work. Check out the video bellow;
    Hope this helps

    You don't have to worry about this anymore and the locking rings are circular and not hexagon shaped. The tighten all the way down without trimming. Good work though!
