HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

[thetruck454]

I called TRS and according to them I am the only one with this issue, but the bulbs are so long you can't fit the connector inside the housing or it hits the caps. Earlier in this post someone suggested heaating up the caps to stretch them, but I have not tried this yet.

 

I'm guess it was people on here that ordered my extended caps. Got two who did and would like to hear if they liked them.

Ok, so I've been having some problems with my TRS kit. It was running for a while but now I am getting no power to the driver side headlight. I already removed the harness, did a fresh install, sanded down the paint where my ground connections are attached, swapped ballasts, bulbs and nothing. Only passenger side headlight will power. I contacted TRS customer support and they have been great, the guy suggested I use a volt meter to test my ground connections and test the ballast plugs. Next he suggested to swap out the igniter cables to see if they would be the culprit, I admit, I did not do this when swapping ballasts. Finally he suggested I swap the relays with one another to see if the issue is a relay.

 

So far I have completely removed the harness and next time I put it back in to test I am going to just ground all my connections to the battery to remove the possibility of a faulty ground.

 

Is there anyone else going through this? I am running the oe bulbs again and forgot how awful the factory light output is.

Did you check the connection to the factory wire? Mine was loose there so they relay would loose contact and quit grabbing power from the battery.

I will next time, I had the kit installed when power stopped going to driver side. Removed harness and reinstalled kit and same thing. So I re-connected all connections but it could be possible that one of the wires came loose from the actual plug. I will check again here in a few days when I get a chance to work on it.

Doing that fixed my issue. It was a pain the ass to remove the bulb and all that but it was worth it.

I'm guessing you are referring to the one in the bottom right hand side of the image below that says "flip this connection"

Yes and no. My Anzo Headlights use a different connection and the hid bulb come with just the black and red wires separate with male connection on each so I just stuck those inside the Anzo connection and tapped them. But the were coming loose. I wish they had a solid connection for the h7s

How do you determine if you need single or dual input?

Oops, miss read your question.

 

See if the side of the headlight turns off if you flash the signal of that side. if it does, you need dual. I dont think the GM needs that though.

Much appreciated.

 

Regarding DDM's Error Eliminators, they offer the BOW3's and 4700uF caps. From my understanding, the BOW3's are intended for vehicles without reverse polarity. So, I would assume I need the 4700uF caps?

 

Thanks again

I dont think reverse polarity exist.... You just plug it in, if it does not work, flip the connector. I never bought the premade capacitor, I just bought ones from local electronic store for a few dollars and crimp the leads to the relay harness signal in with the polarity checked using a volt meter

I used the 4700uF caps from DDM that came with the kit and I haven't had any issues thus far. I personally would recommend getting them. That way you cant go wrong.

Actually, some of those blows up. The ones mike1220 got end up blowing up and shred pieces everywhere. That is why I end up making my own as I know how they work

Just to circle back on this problem I found out what was wrong. One of my relays was completely corroded.

 

 

 

Not sure what went wrong here. It looks like there was some water/humidity in there but if that's the case it probably happened during manufacturing as my truck has never gone off-road and my relay sits in between my air box and fender.

 

I've sent the pictures to their customer support. Hopefully he can send me another harness soon. I would like a full kit because even though I tested both ballasts I'm not sure if the corroded relay will affect their lifespan. We'll see though, they usually get back to me within a few hours.

How did you have it mounted
