These look great, one point of concern, for me at least, is that the lower white light doesn't go out when the turn signal is on. The video of the f150 light, it does go out, but not on the light on the ram video. I could barley see the turn signal for the DRL/Park light whatever washing it out. Seems to me this is a safety issue, especially in the daytime, and could lead to lawsuits of others claiming not being able to see the signal.

They still look good though, just gonna wait till some reviews are out b4 dropping that kind of cash.

The ones in all the pictures and videos were prototypes. The production ones might be a little different in that the white lights might go out when the turn signals come on, the turn signal might flash faster, or any number of minor things. I would be surprised if they did stay on with the production lights.

I’m really hoping these work in the way if you already have your DRLs activated from factory they will be on just like that without having to turn on parking lights switch.


Can these start shipping out please?????? Hahahaha

Me too, I hope it plugs right into the factory connector and nothing more is needed.

I'm very excited about these lights, and pretty sure it was the right decision to wait for them them....

If you get alfaobd you can set it yourself no matter what lights you have, its great
Does that still work on the newer trucks with the locked pcm's?

Really wish they’d make a chrome themed housing

Not everybody wants black housings but I guess a lot do sonthats mostly what they put their time into making

I agree, I have a Laramie with all the chrome it comes with and think the black headlights would stick out.

It would seem to me that if you're building from the ground up, that you should be able to make it truly plug and play. You know what comes from the factory connector - just make yours work with that. But instead, I think I saw something that said you need an additional wire for the DRL's. If they were build it right, we won't need that

Works on my 2017 and other members in that alfaobd thread, I even have a DRL on/off on my screen now. Notice the DRL lamp location in photo below. You can also set them to LED so no bulb out or canbus issues.

Mines a Longhorn with all chrome up front..... I’ve done black headlights before and the look is just as good if not better. The black headlights just tone down the chrome front end a bit. Me personally I think it looks great

My 2017 didn’t have the on/off feature either until I enabled it using the alfaobd. I have the Alfa software on an android Samsung tablet, works great

I'm super super mad, ordered an entire retrofit kit for the D2S last week and it was the 4.0 and now the 5.0 is released. Didn't have time today but I'm calling TRS tomorrow and sending the 4.0's back. No way I'm keeping them and installing them when I didn't even open them yet and the 5.0's are the same exact price.

For those that missed out......TRS has 10% off code that works for the Morimoto XB LED headlights (or anything else they sell)
