    Perfect. Nope, only dim when truck is starting. Otherwise they are great lights and well worth the wait and money

    Side note, we're currently running a 17% off entire store as an early black Friday sale.

    I'll post a separate thread on this but orders will ship 1-2 days after placing so there's no no wait

    Jesus what a shitshow.

    Only marginally better than a $20 drop in halogen replacement
    Worse high-beams than stock
    non-replaceable bulbs.
    difficult to aim.
    $1250 and you have to fuse tap rather than being provided with a conversion harness.
    Misleading sales deliverables and de-prioritizing people who got a discount.

    Remind me of the upsides again?

    Yes that is correct. Stock DRL no auto lamps. Yesterday they switched between dim and day just fine but I’ve noticed today they’re just staying in dim. I’m not really sure as to why... when I initially installed them they stayed in dim also; it wasn’t until I jumped in the truck later that they started working properly. If you have any insight I’d be happy to give it a try.

    Not sure where you get your information, but there is no way in hell these are only marginally better than any halogen bulb. They are as bright as my Morimoto elite HID's in TacomaBeast housings, just lack some of the color variation in comparison. I went to the HID's because halogen bulbs suck in color and brightness.

    Aiming horizontally stupid easy. I had mine done in less than 3 minutes. Haven't tried vertical so maybe you're referring to that.

    Fuse tap is only for owners who don't have factory drl's and there is a harness that comes with the lights to allow this, but yes it is not a plug and play entirely. If you have factory drl's, it is all plug and play.

    The stupid bright drl's and turn signal, along with black housing was worth all the money. They are real nice headlights and if you got the cash, I would recommend them.

    I have not tried horizontal aiming as mine is pretty darn good already, but they could use some adjustments so I will try that this weekend. Vertical aiming was super easy using a ratcheting wrench

    I freaking love mine and damn glad i bought them. They look amazing and paired with my Rigid D-Series SAE fogs they light up the road 100x better then stock lights and don’t blind oncoming traffic when aimed properly.

    Ive cancelled my order through the group buy. Ive now missed the opportunity to buy the lights at a cheaper rate direct through TRS and have them here in a much more timely manner. FYI TRS lists these at 1150 w/ free shipping and will be having a black friday of 10-25 percent (probably gonna be 10% on the lights) and they currently have 26 in stock. For those waiting on the group buy Eleb is out of stock so i imagine shipping times are going to push out immensely. I know TRS Andrew has been watching this thread and involved with the group buy but the TRS representative i spoke to said the situation was disappointing and he will be forwarding this thread to his CEO so that if the disconnect is with TRS they can help rectify the situation. Thanks TRS for ensuring that my new set of headlights will be at my doorstep next week

    Do you have those grille lights tapped into the OEM side of DRL wiring harness?

    This group buy ended weeks ago and there won't be another group buy. Your order is being canceled. Cancelation has always been opened for everyone since there was so many issues with shipment being late, then lighting issues and lost packages. No one else has any problems and have had patience in this group buy since January.

    FYI trs don't include their xb headlight line up on major sales

    No i ran the included add-a-fuse to the fuse box. I was thinking about tapping into my DRLs or thru my Fogs. Hesitant to tap into OEM harness. i have adapters on my fog lights i may just do it to those since i can always buy new adapters if i choose to get a different grille or take out the grille lights later on

    These are far from any halogen replacement! Halogen doesnt even compare. LED circuits are designed to last more than 10k hours. That alone is worth it not to mention they are a much much much brighter than OEM, better visibility at night plus a unique design

    This :thumbsup:

    ***UPDATE***

    For those That keeps asking, NO there won't be another group buy on these headlights even after trs receives new shipment.

    Trs has a 10% off coupon that puts you at $1150 shipped. That's still a great discount.

    But as for this group buy it won't another.

    @TRDOFFRD510 issues have been fixed and is expecting his lights soon and @Nomis88 order has been canceled and refund has been issued.
