Little update on this thread on my end. I did a set on my buddies raptor, and I used JB weld epoxy and they are coming off. (also not my first headlight build or use of the epoxy on things such as halos) I would recommend a professional installation or stitch them in yourself.

That sucks. TRS recommended securing them by drilling tiny holes and wiring them to the housing with coated wire. I was afraid that epoxy or CA glue would not hold over time.

I also bought mine for $25 as they are on closeout now. It'll be a job but definitely worth it. That raptor looks awesome.

Mine are not from TRS, but, they are the same type of lights. They are not the tube type LED's, however, they are switchbacks, as well as the lights in the turn signal bucket section.

Wish I knew a Canadian retrofit that's still taking orders. I'm not comfortable enough baking my OEM HIDs myself to make the mods that I want to make.

I'm comfortable doing it but it's just finding the time to do it while having the truck down for a day.

I think they're all morimoto brand leds.

Also on my housings the area you would epoxy is glossy plastic. In orded for epoxy to get a better bond you'd probably have to sand the area prior. But my plan is to use the 3m backing and then use the wire to secure it.
