New HID Retro Group Buy Thread

yeah i know, idk what to do about it. i emailed TRS because they are closed now.

 

well i think i figured it out. the bulbs are not tight inside the projectors. make sure when you guys install you get those bulbs TIGHT!

 

If that solved the problem then post some more pics of it at night

 

well i am not 100% sure. its hard to explain but i can push on the back of the bulb and that dark spot i said i was seeing moves. my bulbs are not tight inside the projector and i can change the light output jut by moving the bulbs. i will try to fix it asap but my next day off isnt until saturday

 

If that doesnt work go to HIDplanet.com and check out the tech page. I found a PDF instruction sheet on how to install MiniD2S projectors in late model Tacoma headlights

Might be worth reading to make sure you didnt skip a step

 

ill look into that...

im pretty positive its because my bulbs are not seated properly/tight enough. if i push the bulbs into the projector they get brither and the "black circle" im seeing goes away

 

bummer...i was just about to order too...I guess i'll wait for the next one (if there is one).

They just waiting on that "Obama $$"

 

It's been around since before Obama.

 

so since i had been having trouble with my lights i emailed TRS with my problem and they emailed me a .pdf directions with pictures. i know there are some on here (since thats what i followed) but i found theres much more informative and i think i have fixed it. going to test now so i will follow with pics

 

Can you upload the PDF? It might be helpful to all of us that are doing the retro. I for one I'm only slightly "scared" of the trimming part for the gatling gun shrouds... specially since my whole setup is going to be painted in black chrome, so no black paint to go over fuckups. But who knows, there might be info in the PDF that would be really helpful to some in the electrical department.

 

Hurry up!

buuutt..now..i need to take my passenger headlight back apart and clean the inside of the lens and fix the seal. its fogging up really bad and had some water in it early..and im working on getting that pdf uploaded. stupid winzip is taking forever

 

what a difference !

 

the pictures dont do them justice now. the difference in what they were before i fixed them is night and day. and it was MUCH MUCH easier to assemble it the RIGHT way than it was the way i had it

 

as requested. the .pdf file from TRS. these are the most in depth directions i have been able to find and they helped me fix mine as well as another member.

 

Thanks for the PDF! + Rep!

That PDF is awesome BTW, very very detailed. Also, that CCFL insert was sick!

 

thank you sir i hope it helps! cant wait to see everyones finished work!
