3/1/12 UPDATE*- Here are some pics of my install with options 1, 2.

________________________________________________________________________

The retrofit will look exactly like philsey's headlights. This is the exact same kit and shroud. Thanks to Philsey for the pics.

Any questions, please let me know.

 

[mikey's2010SR5]

Damn, too soon!:lmao:

But if I can buy your headlights off you once you get your TE's I might do it sooner then later, if the price is right. Then the next person could buy mine and so on and so on...

 

[deekoi]

dam too late!

I just finished mine this past weekend!

But I got my kit from TRS, FX-R Stave IV.

FYI this is how apollo shroud looks like.

[Jesse1983]

I'm in! Count me in for option one definitely. if 10 commit I'll consider having them do the labor.

Edit: Stickied until it's over

 

[philsey]

Wow - very nice job RiDE.

:thumb3:

For any of y'all been on the fence about this retro, this is a great opportunity for a fantastic upgrade.

Here are some pics of mine for a look at different shrouds (in TE lights).

Phil’s 4 Runner – TFX Conversion | HID Projector Headlight Retrofit for Subaru, Honda, BMW, Scion and More | LightWerkz.net

And if I may suggest, some of you should get together and swap around some spare headlights. This is a much more convenient way to do this.

 

[Mason]

Are there any noticeable differences between stage 3 and 4 other than price?

Can we have TRS custom paint the headlights to the TE Look or would it be better to just get the TE headlights and send them in?

And is there a deadline to reach the 10 buyers?

 

[deanyuan]

Thanks! I'm in for option 2. PM sent.

 

[RiDE]

Thanks for the sticky Jesse! This is going really well for its first day. Hopefully we can get this going as fast as I got the Shrockworks GB going.

The only difference between stage 3 and 4 is the Phillips ballast. The Morimoto unit included with stage 3 has been proven to be very reliable.

Let's see what they say about painting the bezels. Will report back once I receive word.

I'd like to set a deadline for the 27th of February. Hopefully we can get this wrapped up sooner.

I should have pictures of my set by the end of this week.

 

[phillyd2]

What's the word on how long these last compared to OEM bulbs?

 

[windycity]

What's the word on how long these last compared to OEM bulbs?

A follow up question to philld2's question is: are their any concerns with overheating the housing or overheating the connecting wires/plug.

 

[Jesse1983]

Can we pick our shrouds?

 

[SilverGs]

Can I please get in on this GB? I have a 2005 4Runner. I would be sending in my headlights - so I need the kit and labor.

 

[RiDE]

I don't have info on how long these last compared to OEM bulbs but I don't see that as being a problem since I haven't read any concerns from the millions of users with this kit.

You will have no issues with overheating anything. These are actually lower wattage then the stock bulbs.

Yes you can pick your shrouds but this is the shroud that has proved to fit the best in the 4R headlight.

Yes you can get in on this GB. This is open to all cars. Please PM pr Email me your info. Thanks.

 

[RiDE]

We're almost there guys! We just need payment to be sent in.

I think Philsey'a idea of a swap set of headlights is great. I would be willing to wait my turn if I could use some loaners while my set was retrofitted. Hey Ride, how long of a turn around are we talking from the day we ship ours in?

If we decide to have the retro done professionally, will they do the blackout of the headlights for free?

 

[Jesse1983]

I asked Mark on PM, but figured I'd ask here too, can we see pics of the light output of the different bulb options to get an idea of what we should pick?

 

[RiDE]

blazed- The turn around time should be 2-4 weeks depending on their workload at the time.

They will not be offering painting of headlight housings.

Jesse- I'll get back to you with those pics. But, 4300k is a little bit whiter then stock halogen bulbs like Lexus HID's, 5000k is pure white like BMW's, 6000k has a hint of blue like s2000 HID's.
