TRS group buy: 25% off, Let's see a list! Thanks Matt@TRS!

Will do. It is an easy mod from what I have seen in other threads. The only reason I'm doing it is because both my H3 Hyper white bulbs died. I decided rather than spend $50 on 2 new bulbs, I could spend it upgrading to HID. I hope that the reflector is up to the task.

Unfortunately, my stock 510 SMR bulbs died before I could take a calibrated night shot to do a before and after shot.

 

*edit*
Something came up and I have to back out of the GB. Sorry.

 

Does anyone know if the re-sealing glue from the drop down box is the same as the OCI butyl rubber glue in their accessories section?

 

it is the same.



sticky, tangy, goooey goodness!

 

so looking at that yes you still apply, i know the last group buy was stage 3 or better

 

Can the OP please verify if we NEED to get a stage III kit to qualify and if the other stuff in our cart will also qualify?

 

Yes. 25%off any stage III or better kit

 

Right.. and if I add extra ballasts and bulbs, does that qualify for the discount?

 

I have been reading a lot on the HID retrofit.

The actual projector comparison of the Mini and the FX-R is very informative. It seems that the FX-R will project the light further down the road than the Mini. The Mini is an easier install. The cost of the FX-R stage 4 is only $25 more than the Mini with the same ballast and bulbs. At this point I am tempted to go the FX-R stage 4 kit and just dive into the project. One of the saving graces for me is that I have a donor set of headlamp housings that I will be modifying.

There should not be a problem if I change to the FX-R stage 4 correct?

 

In a nutshell:
-Mini is simple and easier to install indeed. Bake, separate, install, bake, seal.
-FX-R will need some 'customization'. bake, separate, modify bowl, temp mount fx-r, aim, permantenly mount/install, bake, seal.

On screen it looks just like a few extra steps. When actually doing the FX-Rs, its alot of trial and test trial and test. Once you have the knowledge it would be a bit smoother. If you do decide to dive into the project and tackle it yourself, I'm more than willing to give you pointers and what not. I'm sure others here would be willing to chime in and give some advice/pointers too.

Good to have a donor set. My advice, work on 1 headligh first then start the other. Remember to take your time (benefits of having a donor set)

Shouldn't be a problem because I'm pretty sure payment has not been processed. They won't process until 25 orders are set

Shrouds are your personal preference.

I plan on installing the halo ring inside the Gatling shroud. The pics look pretty decent and you do not have that BMW ring look. The light comes out the vents of the shroud.

 

bump, cmon more people gotta be interested!

 

first of all, I'm grateful that this site has a great amount of people willing to get together to get a great discount. So that said i would like to be included into the list. Is it possible to post this in another forum to see if other people are interested, its not a tacoma forum? if not let me know, pm if i need extra info to give to you guys. thanks interested in FX-R Stage III kit and ccfl.

A little confused, would the blazer stage III kit qualify?

I already have mini ds2's.

 

Not unless you buy a headlight kit as well

 

The retrofit will be for a 2008 Honda Accord.

 

Nice. A former coworker, I am now retired, has an accord. I doubt she would be up for a conversion. They are nice dependable cars.
