Just install TheRetroshop.net HID kit for the 2016 1500 sport, all i can say is WOW what a different. soo much light now, Took about 5 hrs to install, had to make a bracket for the can bus resistors to mount inside frame rail on Drivers side, then figure out where all the connections go, etc but way worth the time and effort. Need to install the fogs next but ran out of time. An after pic for you to enjoy. These are 5500k lamps.

Looks good. I had LEDs installed last Monday and one burn out on Friday. Took it back to the shop today and shop owner decided he was going to put in HIDs but he has to order them so I have to wait. I was wondering if you can take a pic to see how it looks from the front.

Thank you for your order Keith!

Great product and service deserves recognition. Just need to enclose that last PDF sheet of where to plug all those things into with your orders.

The 2 youtube video helped with placement of the resistors and converters. I made a bracket to hold the resistors out of aluminum, then mounted the bracket to the frame on the drivers side.

I just installed HIDs in my 2016 Rebel over the weekend. I had the Retro Shop HIDs on my 2014 Sport for over 2 yrs and zero issues. Much better than the oem halogen. I went with a different HID kit for my Rebel because I didn't want to deal with the wiring harness. The kit I got was just a plug-n-play. I've been running it all week (about 14 hrs total so far) without any issues. Cannot go wrong with either kit imo.

Thanks. Can't wait to get mine put in. I was going to leave my fogs alone but I also might want to match them. Hopefully after I have the HIDs put in I won't have any more problems

JJ at Retro Shop. Morimoto kit 35w 5500k. No problems. I was going to put LED in but switched to HID. I put the GTR gen 3 LED's in the fogs from headlightrevolution. Insane light output now. Nobodys been flashing me.

I did not know that and I would had bought it through you like I did for my 2014 Sport HID kit. I just didn't want to deal with the wiring harness.
