    I'm selling my retros that are damn near perfect. Only been used for less than 3k miles. Located in Buffalo, N.Y.

    The Good

    • Beams are 99% straight.
    • High beams work flawlessly
    • Painted semi-gloss black that looks straight badass
    • Light output for driving at night is unbelievable
    • DO NOT LEAK
    • Lens are clear. Pictures look a little blurry cause I took them with my cell phone but they are clear.


    The Bad

    • The only bad thing with these lights is purely cosmetic and it's the jb weld around the edges. When I first made them I was having issues with a little water getting in and said f that and just sealed them off completely. Since then NO moisture has gotten in at all. They've said 100% dry through light showers and down pours.


    What you will need

    • HID kit unless you already have one
    • H1 HID bulb
    • Motocontrol relay harness for the high beams to work (bought on TRS website)


    Alright so I've tried to cover everything about the lights and what would be needed to run them but if you have any questions just ask. Now for the pictures.

    25ft away from garage


    high beams










    JB Weld




    Price for these is $375 shipped. That's a lot of money but if you break it down is fair. New headlights= $80. New projectors= $120. Shipping (big box and not very light)= at least $20 if not more. That leaves $155 left over for me but I have 20+ hours of time in them= about $7.75 /hr or basically minimum wage to get them done.

    Retros are not a simple mod, nor a cheap one. But so worth it.
