TRS is what you want.

Anything else is garbage.

I would suggest looking at the 9w led lights. They come already encased and you can just open up your fog lights, mount them inside and seal them back up. I'll get the link for you tomorrow if your interested, they come in 3k or 6k.

Default Projector head lights and LED tail lights

I recently purchased these projector headlights with the LED/halos and the LED tail lights from ipex motoring. The head lights look great in the truck and were easy to install but the H1 projector lights were not bright what so ever. In fact it was extremely hard to see at night. I replaced the bulb with a 6000k hyper white LED bulb and it didn't seem to help at all. The tail lights also look nice and light up well but didn't sit flush against the bed like the stock light do. They stick out a little to far for me. I will say that the customer service at ipex motoring was great. They had no problems taking them back. I really like the look of the halos ... any suggestions on a good bright headlight assembly for my 06 F150

For all of you retrofit guys, if the headlight housing is already vented from the factory, are additional holes needed after doing a retrofit and installing 55w HIDs?

You'll want additional venting. But its not *necessary *.

If it's not necessary, then why do it? Do HIDs burn hot enough that they need the additional air flow?
