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

Front:


Rear:


OEM Halogen output (expect the same but brighter with drop-ins)


Retro-Quik output:

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

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.
