If you already have a harness, take it off the truck and use the one TRS sends you

You should have someone film your reaction for your first nighttime test drive. The second I flicked them on at night, I had the biggest smile on my face.

If I recall correctly, I went to the gas station two times that night because I drove around pointlessly just to be able to use them

Really? I thought your face hit the deck when your left projector was rotationally aimed to the stratosphere?

Just messin bud, glad its all fixed and perfect now. The devil in me wants to up the FXRs to 50w like yours and push my output to 15000 lumens. At this point its getting a little ridiculous though. :o

Trust me, if you get the 50W pretty soon you'll be looking for 70W. I get used to mine but a night in my parents Toyota Solara with 3" halogen projectors quickly reminds me of what I've got

So when I turn them on for the first time I should expect the light to act as the light coming down from heaven and watch for flying doves and falling angels?

i had to look around my windshield to get the wow effect. haha even with the mini h1's and 35w 6k kit its still the best lighting i've ever drove behind. sadly, i just put a PnP 3000k kit in my fogs for when i actually need them.

How much harder would it be to add CCFL's? If I get CCFL's I would get this shroud.

It already has small holes that will let light through. I think it would look great with my fog light halo rings. What wiring is required to wire them into the running lights? Is it just one wie splice?

the converter will need to be grounded too. buy some wire taps to make your life easier, just tap into the running lights (+) and (-) and you'll be good to go.

From TRS? Patience is key. They ship pretty quick but I agree waiting for it to arrive is painful. It'll be like christmas when it does arrive.
