2014 UnLimited Lighting Retrofit

OP,
I am not trying to snag your thread, but get the attention and input on everyone drooling and watching your work.

Ok fellas, I am also working on a projector setup, but probably not as sweet as the unlimited. Either way, I need some input for you smarties.

I want to put LEDs in my headlights, these to be more precise:
H11 H8 H9 H16 5K MT-G2 2100LM HEADLIGHT FOG LIGHT DRL | 1 PAIR - H11 H8 H9 - LED - Headlights

I contacted TRS and they said that LEDs don't work well with projectors. Bummah...
But then I read this article:
LED projector headlight experiment

So, would you all agree, that it looks like LEDs should work with the projector?
I am going to send this to TRS also and see what they say.

Thanks for your input

and OP, if you wouldn't mind, could you send over a bottle of water or gatorade? Im a bit dehydrated from all the drooling for suspense.

More tease:

LEDs will not work for the projector because the stock lenses filter out too much light. ( I wouldn't believe any one so I wasted $100 on LEDs)

They do, however work on the DRL. TRS is the expert ...If they say different, defer to their judgment. I do have a set of LEDs the most powerful LEDs made that I will sell for $75 shipped.
 
the upside down nike swoosh would be a better DRL imo than the lower audi look.

Going to do both. The lower Audi look is a switchback, so would glow amber for turn signals and while normal. The upside down check and halos will be done in Amber
 
Here are more teasers

this pic with the bmw halo, audi lower line and the lexus swoosh is just too dam busy/overload/crap looking.

its like a ricer that couldn't make up his mind.
 
I agree, that's why it has two separate looks. The amber and white do not operate at the same time. The white with the dual projectors is the primary lighting for 90 of the time. Thanks for the candor.
