    Need opinions. Getting D2S kit but deciding on a shroud that will fit 2013 Tacoma reflector but that will look good with amber halo on the front of shroud

    Just splice them into the corners. I wanted them on their own switch at first too but I didn't want to buy another switch or cut another hole. I wouldn't have it any other way now. They look good with the corners on

    Headlights look amazing. And your right about the corners with splicing. Now just need to decide on a shroud to pull the trigger

    Can't help ya there. Not sure what would look good on your truck..

    For anyone else that might worry about the xb's yellow standing out too much just go for it! At first I was iffy but it really grew on me

    Hey guys, anyone who is buying stuff from TRS can get it for the same price as the group buy with there promo codes. I just figured it out for the Mini and FXR kits



    FXR (ability to upgrade to 55w for $5 more) comes to $240 before shipping using code "TRSGiving25"

    Minis come to $236 before shipping using code "TRSGiving20" (total is not enough to use 25% off)

    Wicked good deals!




    Do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT be afraid of the FX-R Install.I actually had an easier time installing my FX-R than I did my Minis because of all the headlight removal, adjusting, remounting and such to get the beams perfect required of the Mini.


    FXR you JB weld in and adjust all of the positions within a minute, let the JB weld cure and follow up with more epoxy. Super easy

    Not at all. We stopped because of the Black Friday sale that nets about 1,500 orders in 4 days. Also the pricing is nearly identical with that sale anyways.

    a few people from the last group buy is waiting for their replacement ballasts and was given an ETA of around Dec 10.

    for people who wants to take advantage of this black friday discount, does this mean their orders wont ship until you guys get the corrected ballasts around Dec 10?


    by the way Andrew, not sure who shipped my Temporary ballast replacement but they obviously just grabbed the first ballast they saw and shipped it without checking my serial number or my order number or my email stating I have a Mini H1.
    TRS sent me a D2S ballast, looks nice but I CANT USE IT. I HAVE A MINI H1. Now I have to wait for you guys to open Monday and wait another couple days for shipping. I hope you can see why I am not happy

    As someone else said you can wire them up with turn signals or parking lots really easily. However I wanted full control on mine and bought an OTRATTW switch and put that in the cab along with a relay in the engine bay. I like being able to turn them on/off at will.

    I wanted to do that but didn't know what's actually involved in doing it.
