Morimoto Retro-Quik Xenon Retrofit System for FR-S
 

TRS released this just a few minutes ago for anyone interested in a retrofit. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=254

Going to get a ton of thanks for this. Nice find.

That's REALLY nice. Is it as easy as removing the headlight housings, removing the projectors and swapping in the new ones?

If only that meant the end to all the bickering going on.

That's funny they posted that! I called them at 5:00pm and asked them about it!

I've been working with them on this... I was going to start a thread to keep everyone updated but then I saw this one! I'll post all the updates as I get them here.

My only issue is they told me it was going to be the Mini H1 projector. I'd prefer them to do a low beam only projector, and not a bi-xenon! I guess I'll have to do my own retrofit.

waiting for someone to post a DIY using this kit

I will, as soon as I get mine!

Be sure to post pics of the cut off line as well

Sweet! I still have my Minis from a TRS group buy on Tacoma world.

For those of you interested, they have group buys going on all the time.

Finally I can slap HID's in my 2012 FR-S!

This is the cutoff from the Morimoto Mini projectors the kit will use. As you can see, it makes the drop in ricer kits look like a joke.

I did this retrofit on my nissan frontier two months ago still no water in the headlights here is a great thread on it im skierdude on that forum. I have pics of the cut off lines i just have to put them on photobucket.

After installation. Don't want Bi-Xenons? Don't hook up the solenoid. :)

OH MAH GOD

Soooo much better than the PnP kits. Thank you so much for the quick turnaround with these. Hopefully people will understand the difference between retrofit and plug and play now.

What all is involved with installation of this kit? Does anyone have pics of all the stuff that comes in the box as well as post-installation pics of the installed lights?

Basically, once you open your headlights, you'll have some very minor trimming and then everything bolts into the factory holes.

No one has pictures of everything included as we literally finished it this morning about an hour ago.

I posted pictures of the projectors installed and the output. Were there other pictures you're looking for? It looks completely factory on the car so a picture of the installed headlights would look identical to before.

Ahh... I see. I didn't know that the pic you showed of the headlight casing was the completed install. Very well done then. I wanted to avoid lots of excess wires in the engine bay and all that. It looks like your kit will work just fine.

Thanks for the explanation (and for producing the kit).

It's our pleasure. I giggle a bit when someone asks of a completed install specifically because of how OEM it looks. It's VERY difficult to discern between the two unless you look at these projectors all day every day like we do here.

Cheers!

Andrew, it was a pleasure working with you guys. The quality of the light output is a huge improvement over the stock projector or stock projector w/ a PnP HID kit.

I've got to say, your excellent customer service reputation is well deserved.

And the quick turnaround!!! Damn!

I can't wait til my kit shows up :party0030:

Thank you Colin. We really appreciate your help here!

I agree trs customer service is amazing as i said before ive done a retrofit and they were there every step of the way for any questions!

TRS makes nice stuff.

Compare the output of these to that PnP kit Darren used and it's beyond obvious why the rest of us were talking smack about his PnP setup.

Andrew: Post a new thread in the commercial Classifieds section with the sale info, pics, etc.

Thanks

Done. Thanks Dave.

Andrew, I'm not highly familiar with color temp as it relates to HID bulbs. What temp do you recommend for someone wanting the brightest white they can get without dipping into the blue color spectrum? Thanks.

A quick google image search seems to favor the 5000k bulb but I thought I'd ask your opinion.

5000K is by far the most popular and is fluorescent white in color. I prefer 5K as well.

Love it. From this angle, those look like Dragon eyes...

Looks great! I'm going to leave some chrome details on mine, just to be different.

looks soo good!

How am I suppose to regain the money I sent if I keep buying new things!!!

Ugh I love the idea but haven't seen a black housing on a FR-S yet.

Anyone have a pic of a blue or grey car with the blacked out look?

Theres a diy with results at the end

I will in a week or so...

This will be my first mod to FR-S if I get it.

the kit looks awesome and the discount is super nice. :thumbup::thanks:

is it possible to set a date for which this discount will end please? or like a counter for the amount of kits will be sold with discount? i'm a newbie and i hope to wait for a member to install and post a diy guide before i pull the trigger.
