Installed some TRS Clear Lenses Today...

[Element]

I installed some clear lenses from The Retrofit Source today into my OEM HID headlights and am pleased with the results. Not only do I get a much nicer cutoff and improved light output, I also get a nice Flicker effect due to the increase in color. These are still the stock 4300K bulbs. So not only do I get the color of higher K bulbs, but I get better light output than stock.

Here are some daytime pics of the output. I will take some better pics tonight of the cutoff.

Foglights On:

Some of the pictures I was standing crooked in to try and show more of the color. But you can see as you change the angle you get some nice color.

I parked the car on a downward angle in the driveway to exaggerated the color:

Epic win man. Good job. These have a very nice cutoff. And the flicker of my hella projectors. Did you need to reaim them and was the install hard?

Thanks! I'm happy with the cutoff, but also the increase in light output.

Install was easy, but then again I've taken apart these headlights far too many times! All you need is some patience and work slowly to prevent damaging anything.

I needed to reaim them after the install as I had the entire projector assembly apart. Reaiming them is not that difficult and fairly straight forward.

For reaiming? Or the install? There were no instructions for either, but it is pretty straight forward and there are some good DIYs and How-Tos on the forum for both.

Awesome, they actually look like HIDs now. I've been searching on the Evo lens mod but think this would be a better option, especially since the Evo lens are so hard to find.

 

[mr_mazda329]

Well..i ordered these. I hope this goes well.

 

[AllLostThings]

Looks great! I'll have to order some for sure.

I also installed these yesterday, and while I was at it did a couple of modifications to the projector. I cut off the tab on the front of the shield and painted the shield black to get rid of the glare above the cutoff (I'm pretty sure Element did this too). My results look a lot like Element's but hopefully I'll have some output shots after it gets dark tonight.

I highly recommend this lens swap to anyone.

Yea. Mine shipped out today
