Ordered a pair of 80mm LED halos to replace the pos halos that the eBay lights came with. Thanks for spending my money Thogert! Now I have to wait for parts to come in....

 

My order shows as completed and shipped!!!!

 

Nice, so the production 3.0's then. I didn't understand why they weren't shipping till today, until I saw it mentioned on hidp.

 

I was reading a couple forums over the past couple days and a few people are having issues with their early 3.0s, but mostly just whining(and a lot of it!!). When I talked to him on the phone I got the impression I would be waiting a bit for them to finish them up, I guess that's why.

 

I was in contact with TRS and by the sounds of it the projectors that are enroute are the tested production units with the latest version ballasts. Finally got a tracking number as well, and if all goes as stated, parts should be here Thursday!

I have been examining the eBay headlight housings, and it looks easy to waterproof. The only issue will be the ballasts(which are water resistant apparently) and the rear of the projector.

Only other thing I'm thinking of changing is the corner marker in the headlight to LED, but most 194 bulbs are pretty dim. Any ideas?

I rerouted existing wiring that went to the now deleted ABS pump to the junction block on the drivers side inner fender(unique to early 2nd gens). Should bolster the block enough to support about 500+ watts, and it already has a fuseable link. The ABS harness also had a 10ga(guess) ground.

Soon I'll have new parts, and there'll be pics...

 

My next set of HIDS
HYLUX's ballast

 

Seems like a decent brand. Sounds like there are more counterfeit Hylux than there are actual Hylux ones. haha
They are certainly cheaper that the ones I bought. Maybe I'll try them for my next HID project.

 

Here is one of the pics of the output of the halogen projectors in the eBay housings for a comparison later on.

 

Guess what came today!!!

 

nice, so they'll be installed by end of the weekend?
