Yeah I can't see a damn thing in the rain but i can see perfectly fine at night lol

Yes some progress is made. Clear lenses have been through some UV abuse. I have been working on quick convert brackets for those who want to convert DRL to bixenon. Hopefully next month I'll have it ready to rock and roll with everything so I can have a housing ready to swap clear lens etc. Just trying to perfect corners still getting a couple of small bubbles that are hard to notice but I see them

Do you have a bunch of housings at hand ready to install clear lenses and projector bowl with clear lenses as a first batch ready to sell and trade with buyers' headlight assembly or will you go one by one, receive a headlight set from customer, do your install and send back ?

Hey do you have any spare 06 TL Projectors bowls, I bought a spare set of TL projectors and i thought was an okay pair but previous owner must have used cheap bulbs and I want a clean output not faded...Im in Folsom Ca 95630, if you have some how much shipped to me.

Just installed some TSX R lenses, Morimoto 5000k low beam bulbs and Morimoto 3000K fogs lights. The difference is quite impressive. Thanks to Carbon for his usage of items from TRS which motivated me to do it. Definitely worth it and quality stuff. I've purchased lots of kits from other places and none came close to the quality of these items.

Carbon- I may pick attempting the clear lenses back up. I need to find my orange ones and buy a vacuum chamber though.
