I'm running theretrofitsource.com kit. Best on the market! Worth every penny, no issues at all. Have had many brands of HIDs and the TRS kit is the only one to give me ZERO issues.

Did you go with the 3Five of 5Five ballasts? Also, what does this mod do for the factory warranty? I have a dealer that does a lot of aftermarket mods that will retain the factory warranty as long as they do the install work. Just wondering what you're experience has been. I extended the warranty to 100,000 so I'd like to keep that.

I contacted them, the 3five is needed and they say that there are no warranty issues.. But I'm sure if you have an issue and go back to the dealer they will blame the HIDs.. I'm thinking of mounting everything with zip-ties if possible and If a problem happens I'll just remove them and go to the dealer

Yeah good call there. Why the 9005 vs. the H10/9145 kit Z7What?

The h10/9145 kit is the only one I see available on the site and it was the one that they recommended. I'm going to buy them tomorrow..

There basically the same thing. No reason why, I don't remember seeing the 9145 when I ordered, that may be why. Really don't recall.

Nice. Post some output shots vs. stock halogens if you can.

I want to do the same conversion on mine as well.. I wonder if there is a step-by-step around somewhere?

I installed them over the weekend. They look even better than I thought they would! Installation was easy , hardest part was finding a good place to mount the ballast and relay.. Very happy with them ..
