Im about to upgrade to some HID for my headlight and Fog lights, they are so many brands out there not sure what to get. What are some brands you guys might trust more than another brand with brightness and quality

I'm happy with my ebay HIDs. Been through a few ballast over about a 5 year period, but there on $10.

From those of you who have used Retroshop, about how long does it generally take from the time you ship out your headlight housings to the time you get the finished product back?

I'm trying to weigh the benefits of going with Retroshop against just getting a factory replacement. The lower cost is obviously a major bonus, but I don't know how long I could make do without the use of my truck.

Everyone I know in Canada just buys new lights from Jeremy,
then when the new ones arrive toss you old ones up on kijiji = no down time.

The problem with cross border shipping, at best they get to him in 7 days,
wait a couple weeks in production, then another 7 days back to you.

...But that's only if they go straight through customs at the border.

If you're not lucky they can get held at the border for another 3-6 weeks
it doesn't happen very often, but it can and is not something anyone can predict or control.

What are you thinking of shipping Quads or Projectors?

You can probably buy TYC Quads from JJ cheaper than the cost of shipping yours.

What he said, if you have quads or duals that you are retrofitting new light will be probably 100$ more then shipping yours, no down time then sell yours to make up the difference

I honestly do not do a lot of Canadian trucks where the customer sends their lights......just doesn't make sense most of the time (for all reasons mentioned above!)

Thanks for the answers.
Not sure what I want to do yet but I may be in touch soon.

Btw - The background in the example pics looks exactly like a place near me.
At first I thought I'd lucked right out and you were down the street!
