sweet, thanks for the info bro. do you think all black insides would look good? like side reflectors, headlight reflector, and shroud? i would probably leave the the turn signal bowl the same and get switchbacks from vleds. i just cant sell myself completely on retrofits

I have tinted reflectors, black turn signal bowl and black shroud. I left the headlight bowl chrome because I ordered the retrofit with led backlighting so the chrome obviously would reflect that more than if I blacked it out. All black might look good though with retrofits if you paint the retrofit kit black also so it doesn't stand out.
If you haven't seen any of my pics:
Silverstar heads with 5K switchbacks in chrome turn signal bowl
Tinted reflector
Retrofit with switchback compared to stock lights with switchback
Red backlighting, 1 of my 7 colors, with my halos and 5K switchback turn signal bulb

thats awesome man! i've seen some retrofits that appear to sit farther back in the bowl unless my eyes just play tricks on me. does the 5k switchback and the 5k hid match up pretty good? i would prolly do all 6k just because i like a little blue. lol

I have had great experience with retro-solutions. I bought my retrofit kit through them and it is a great kit. Lifetime warranty also. Another thing is the customer service is excellent. Todd always replies to my emails quickly and gives me all the information I need. Actually, I sent him an email yesterday, Sunday, asking about what bulbs I would have to buy if I wanted to swap the ones out in my retrofits and he replied in just a few hours. I wasn't even expecting him to get the email until at least today. You should have no problem buying the kit you want. It is their cheaper line but I'm sure it will be better than a DDM kit and you know the customer service and shipping will be 10X better also.
And their bulbs are very good. I'd rate them close to brand name. IMO

I ran the normal digital kit before and they did cause a bit of static on my radio. Had the back of wire pull out and make a bulb useless. Shipped it back and he fixed it no questions asked. Great service!

for real? how do you lose the radio and how does it cause static? come to think of it my new touch screen pioneer has some static in it when you turn it up to about 7 or 8 with nothing playing.
Because the ballasts emit electromagnetic interference. I've got MP3 so I never even use my radio anyways. Listen to what I WANT to listen to without the commercials

oh so its just for the radio part? i thought y'll meant all inputs. i hook my iphone up to mine so i can control everything right on the screen. i guess my static is just normal or something else is causing it. and yeah im not a fan of commercials either. lol
