I asked and was told that if you get your DRL activated the headlights are pinned to work with the factory DRL. If you don't have the DRL turned on they are providing a fuse tap so you can wire up the DRL to an ignition sourced power.

They said for testing purposes they had wired the DRL to the parking lamps.

Of course everything is just guesses until we actually start getting some.

Who did you ask? At the time I asked it was very premature and they only had prototypes.

I’m hoping they include the Pin for the DRLs so it’s truly a plug and play solution. The lights look incredible and the amount of money that would go into them just wiring an extra pin as opposed to providing a fuse tap kit would be beneficial for both parties.

Cheapest price for Black Friday sales is Headlight Revolution, just over $1200. These are pre order products, and don't seem to get covered under many sales.

Not sure if this has already been posted but according to headlight reveolution, you cant change out the led bulb. So if its not bright enough for you and you want something better, your out of luck ,but in their video they say it looks like Morimoto made the head lights so you can easily do a retrofit. Was about to pull the trigger uptil i read that. Still have a few days before their black friday discount is over.

I’m sure they can be approved but at what point do you say sure let me open up these $1300 headlights to customize and improve them. Then there goes the warranty and more money lol.


Yeah so February is the new ETA.. good luck guys if your okay with TRS holding your $1300 till then.. I’ve mentioned it before but I just don’t do preorders anymore with TRS seems time after time eta keeps changing unless it’s something which is only cost a couple hundred if that but I don’t mind waiting but I also no that it better to wait for a finished product to be shown and tested then just a prototype.

"The RippOff Shop" can afford to order their own lights and not make people preorder them, considering how much they charge for stuff. Rediculous.

Got my info from JJ over at Retroshop once some more info was out. Haven't double checked the info since the rapid prototypes have been floating around.

Ordered these last night after my post and didn’t see anything about February. If I had I would have waited to order. Where have you seen an updated ETA?

Well TRS is just a vendor which means their ETA’s are coming directly from Morimoto which puts it out of their control.

I preordered mine because I know Morimoto makes arguably the best aftermarket lighting solutions. An extra month means an extra month of R&D from Morimoto. I don’t want a rushed product to be garbage so I don’t mind the wait.

Also, the whole purpose of pre ordering is to ensure you’re the first to get your hands on the product. I don’t want the lights to come out and wait an extra 5 months to get them because they are on backorder.

No regrets here.

Retroshops prices are in line with every other retrofitter out there. I’ve dealt with 4 other retrofitters in the past and Retroshop is by far the best shop I’ve ever dealt with. They don’t cut corners and their work product is incredible and if you have any issues at all Jeremy takes care of it immediately.

What exactly are you looking to spend to have someone open up headlights and customize them? I think the prices are fair especially considering the niche market and they have to make a profit.

I've been researching new headlights upgrade and so far I did not find any other place that allows to customize headlights to level that RetroShop does. On their website they allow you to pick and choose exactly options that you want inside of your headlight, from top quality parts, and they ship it to you all assembled and ready to install.

Businesses have to make a profit, and they have a very niche product (they customize headlights! ) so yes they do have to mark things up in order to make some money. They are not looking to offer you the cheapest possible price (it's not their target goal, nor is it possible to make profit and offer quality while at it ) they're aiming to be the best at what they do, and make their customers lives easy - and their customers value that and don't mind paying premium. I don't mind paying premium for high quality products and good customer service.

Did you order red or smoked tails?

On Headlight Revolution they are also on pre order black Friday at $1215. But at The Retro Source (Morimoto) they are offering a free set of XB fog lights for pre order black Friday, thats a really good deal too.
As far as the February bump from December/January, I also would rather they not rush, instead make a nice product. And really, it's only 1 month more. I'm ok with it. 'shrug'
