Yeah the black and white looks great in the housing together...I wonder how silver would look...

How come all the really cool stuff comes out after we get our retros? I still have my stock lights so who knows...

OK
I love the look of these things but after TRR, I'm having some concerns on durability. They might have been flukes but a few people's rings had gone out and there was water intrusion on 2 that I know of (I don't think those were Dawson's).

Are these lights fairly maintenance intensive? I'd be curious how many have had issues...

Again, Dawson, is a true artist and these lights look amazing. I just don't want something that I'm going to have to be replacing every couple years. Maybe that's just the nature of these beasts?

Rich,

I have had mine for more than six months, driven them everyday, sun, Texas storms, and off road, not a single issue with them.

One thing I did was to keep my stockers so that if I had an issue in the future I had backups. The ability to see a night is a real plus.

Good concerns bro, Ill try to address some of your concerns. In all honesty the 1.0 rings were nothing but a pain in the ass. Ive replaced close to 30% of the ones I sold. They were a brand new technology and we found out after a few months the weaknesses. The 2.0 rings were much better, no burning out led's but there were some aesthetic design issues with them so I am now installing the 3.0 rings which just came out. They are brighter then the 1.0 and the wires exit out the back for a clean install. All that said, they are really just there for "bling" the true gain in performance from the HID's is whats important.

If your looking for reliability I recommend the OEM 2013's. With any aftermarket product reliability is just not the same as a OEM component. As a example if a OEM component will last 10 years the equivalent aftermarket component may last 7 but aftermarket products are almost always cheaper the OEM so its a give and take. As you said, thats pretty much just comes with the territory on any type of aftermarket modification. Theres always a balance between increased performance, reliability and price.

TRS, they company I source all my parts from is constantly developing their products in the attempt to reach or exceed oem quality. The bulbs and ballast they sell are now just that. I actually just got a sneak peak of the new ballast to be released in a few months, they have almost zero fire up time, meaning from when they are turned on the bulbs are at full brightness instantly.
