DIY: TheRetrofitSource/Morimoto Retro-Quik Install in FR-S - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TRS carries two different kits for the FRS - Mini H1 projectors or FXR projectors. The FXR is much better in terms of output in my opinion and price is not that much more.

As far as using a different bulb, the relay harness that comes with the retrofit will take care of that. You use one of your existing H11 plugs simply for signal (other not used). The power will be drawn directly from the battery and the harness has new plugs that go to the ballasts that then have wires to the bulb.

Anyone in SoCal that needs help with these, hit me up.

Yea, they mention it on the front page of their website but Im not seeing the listing itself.

Terrific, they take a great kit and make it even better

burt · 10-26-2012, 03:16 PM

For make sure you get the FXR kit, I would call in to order.

Thanks again for this DIY @civicdrivr

The gap bugs me but its really isn't something you see unless you know about it

The back of my headlight looks nothing like the ones posted in pictures here... I'm stuck with high beams until I can figure out what's wrong. The headlights posted here seem to have some sort of a plastic dome behind the low-beam... mine doesn't have that and I think that's why I'm having trouble. The back of my headlight looks like this:

tonystewart · 12-25-2012, 07:13 PM

Those look stock to me, you need to modify them to look like the ones in the thread

raul · 12-25-2012, 09:04 PM

Ok, but the TRS kit doesn't specify any modifications, nor does it come with parts that look remotely like that.

The dome is the rubber boot that comes with the kit to cover the rear of the projector after you swap it in. There are two different kits they offer, the base kit and the compete kit. I'm not sure if the base kit includes the boot. The TRS kit requires modifications in order to work.

To answer your other question, the high beam is the reflector based beam (the one on the right of your picture).

Are the FXRs bolt in or do you have to do any cutting to make them fit?

There's only 2 options for the retro-quik kit. $150 for brackets and projectors only, and $300 for the complete kit. I bought the latter. My kit came with projectors, brackets, relay, bulbs. I've never heard any mention of that rubber boot in any DIYs or any of the TRS guides in the website. I'll talk to Andrew from TRS tomorrow, something isn't right.

This kit says specifically that there's little to no cutting needed, and no modifications needed. The only problem is that the instructions supplied are for a Mazda 6.

Everything is right

Maybe saying "this kit requires modification to work" wasn't the correct thing to say. I was a bit confused with your picture as it's the back of a stock headlight, so by modification, I meant that you need to take the headlamp apart.

The two rubber boots/caps should have been included with your kit.
