Linear lights?

I've also had a bad experience with Recon - would NOT recommend. My Recon halo/LED headlighjts are just over 2 years old and I now have a bunch of dead LED's!

Anyone seen the new Anzo's with linear lights (LEDs?)? Looks way cool!!

You should check out the RSiWORKS aftermarket headlights with the built in Off-Road lights.
Looks way cool! lol

Just an update the wiring harness from Retrofit source sucks and is plagued with problems, not sure if any companies are making a quality harness for the conversion?

How long ago did you get yours and from them directly?
I believe they have a new improved one on the market.

Yeah, the TRS harness connection is susceptible to problems from moisture where the harness plugs onto the multiple small pins at the relay. All the ballast and bulb connectors are waterproof, but the connection at the relay and all the little pins is not waterproof, at all. And there is no truly spray-free place to mount it in the Raptor. Here's how I made my TRS harness bulletproof: I wrapped the rubber boot on the connector and the end of the relay with Scotch 2228 mastic tape and then mounted the relay vertically with the connection at the bottom. Also, when contacted, TRS responded immediately and sent out the replacement components with ZERO hassle.

I'm another one against DDM, last several times I've bought from them shit has failed. I had bought a kit for the Raptor originally, while the ballast and bulbs worked the damn module failed. They wanted me to uninstall and send it all back on my dime... OR I could purchse a new kit, swap it out and still send it back on my dime for a refund minus restocking fee. What a crock of BS, lovely lifetime warranty and so much headache.

OP, if you want a cheaper option for 2013 headlights and have a little experience in wiring (not much is needed honestly), do like I did... Get some used 2013 lights, buy a Morimoto D2S kit and install. :)

Thanks IronMan talked to TRS and they are sending me out the new and improved harness, just had to pay shipping, no big deal. A bit of a pain in the ass to rewire but as long as they work properly I will be happy.
