HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit


Recommended Posts

All I can say is that after installing my TRS 55W kit I'm super impressed. The amount of light output is unbelievable.

 

I was worried that I would still need to do the FXR upgrade but I'm thinking that I don't need to worry about that for now.

 

Thanks for the all tips on this thread.

Are u running a relay harness or literally just the kit?

Just the kit, no harness. You don't even need to ground it although I did. This truck doesn't send a pulsing ground signal.

I have a question that hopefully someone can help with. I plan on getting me the oe style projector headlights but run LED pods as the high beams but got a question for what to run as the low beams. Should I go HID or LED bulbs? I know some have mixed reviews of both but too LED bulbs now have heat sink ribbon type thing instead of the fans now too but which is the best option? I don't plan on retrofitting. Just looking for a simple plug and play

Hid. Leds are bright but just don't give off as much light.

I recently installed TRS's Morimoto kit for my 2014 Silverado with projector headlights. The lights are super bright, but the pattern seems off. Does anyone else's light pattern look like this with the stock projectors? I did order the H11b lights, and they are seated completely in the housing from what I can tell...

Your bulbs are upside down. Flip them over and you'll be good.

More info on this mod please, didn't realize the strips on the top and bottom can be replaced with a better setup.

I finally got a chance this weekend to look at the lights in more detail to figure out the problem. It turned out that the bulbs weren't upside down, but they were turned slightly so that the wire was facing between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock. I turned the bulbs so that the wire was facing directly to 6 o'clock and now I have a nice cutoff line with no shadows in the beam. Also, the problem of the light pattern wiggling is now gone. I figure the light pattern wiggling was due to the wire vibrating and I was seeing the movement from it in the shadow.

 

I hope that helps someone who doesn't have that clean cutoff line or a light pattern with shadows in it.

It's Diode Dynamics direct replacement boards. Direct PNP swap but you will need to open the headlights to do it.

Man been a while since I've been to the forums. Having a problem with my HID's again.. Intermittently the passenger side will not come on immediately, I have to turn them off and on a couple times to get it to come on. It did it about a month ago and I swapped the ballast to see if the problem would follow and no luck. I moved some wires around and chocked it up to a pinched wire. Well now the problem is back. I'm displaced right now too with all the flooding in Texas so I don't have a lot of time to take it apart and look at it. Just seeing if anyone else had a similar experience..

My first guess would be to check the grounds. I developed a loud buzzing on a very humid evening here in SC. I opened up the hood and began reworking my ground at the radiator support. So far no problems.
