I missed the e-mails while I was at work and also missed the chance for expedite. With the current arrival of all other orders being late March at the moment I'm out. I leave shortly after that for a school and won't even be able to use/enjoy them. By that time I'm sure some used ones will be floating around or vendors will honor coupon codes on new ones.

Maybe......

I have to go through the ones that paid and ensure that they actually have projectors on the truck. Hopefully everyone read the email in its entirety before remitting the payment for expedited shipping.

So looks like TRS has 1000 sets on their way. How many do you have and are all of these only for trucks with projectors? What about us with quad lights?

50 sets are shipping from overseas today, for projector trucks only (as the wiring for the quad/dual trucks was not completed yet)

950 sets will ship with that wiring, and the update from TRS (pictured above) would give a best idea on timelines (March 15-30)

So what about projectors that already have DRL's activated, plug and play or still need to fuse tap and/or deactivate the DRL's?

I'm assuming no other interaction is needed.

Again.......keep in mind, I'm not Morimoto, and this info hasn't been fully shared with us vendors yet. Just bits and pieces ;)

Saw a guy on fb post a pic and I asked him how he liked them. This was his response.

Not to be that guy. But in March they will say. April they will be out. It’s the trend lately.

I can say that the Ford guy above didn't aim his high beams. Out of the box they are way out of alignment and mine pointed about 10 feet on front of the truck. Aimed them up and they are very bright. Morimoto could do a lot better on communicating and they instructions but the lights are nice. My biggest complaint on the Ford lights is that the wiring on the back could have been a lot better. A lot of what they did should have been internal. Is it horrible, no just kind of odd and lazy.

Yes I have a Ram but I also have a Ford F150 I use to pull my camper. It's also the wife's DD.

Well that doesn't sound promising. Aren't the Ford lights way more expensive than the Ram lights?

Lights are never aimed correctly out of a box. OEM, TYC, Depo, etc - none.....will ever be aimed to where they need to be on your truck.

Every time a light is installed on the vehicle, aiming needs to be done.
