Retro Solutions HIDs installed

Hey guys,
Got my retro HIDs from Jason (G racing) installed this weekend! The quality of the kits is unreal. The harnesses for the lights are well thought out and complete. This is exactly what I wanted for a set up! Driving with them is a night and day difference (pun intended). I got their 55 watt 6000K for heads and fogs. Here are some pics.

The harness for the headlights

Fog bulb

Both Ballasts mounted on the passenger side

New bulb in the housing and the harness connected to the ballast

Headlight ballast on the driver side

Power tap on passenger side battery

Headlight and fog ballasts on driver side (view from the bottom). The headlight ballast is pointed with wires up.

All done!

I tried to take some tonight with my phone but it had too much glare in it. These lights are awesome at night. I can see soooooo much better.

That's no lie!

Great review and install JD!

Glad you finally got some HIDs.

Those look good man! How much were they?

Here are a few pics from mine today







And a little extra

how hard is the install? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on these.

would the fogs work if I have an aftermarket bumper with fogs even though they're not stock size?

It's plug n play. Very easy. You won't regret getting them, awesome visibility.

As for your fogs just get a set that matches the bulbs your using.

Call retro solutions if you have questions, they are pretty helpful.

I really need the HID's, especially with 35% windshield

It's all plug and play. Just mount the balasts, install the bulbs, connect the wires and enjoy. As for the aftermarket fogs just get the ones to match that bulb.

Digital really is the only way to go.

Thanks guys! It is a big difference driving at night. I love how they look

i love how wide they seem to shine on the back roads

Only had one qualm with these, when they put the ring terminals on, or any crimp for that matter on the harness they crimped over the insulation of the wire having poor contact. I ended up lengthening both harness's(they were too short to keep a "clean" look) and crimping all new terminals on.

Otherwise, great kits, light output is great. I opted for 4300k, i do lots of highway driving and blue hid's make me want to vomit lol.

The retro kit is top notch. I was pleased to learn that the Retro "headquarters" is right arround the corner from my house. I can get ther faster thru the woods on my 4 wheeler. Good guy to deal with.

yup. installing is simple as can be, and totally worth it

Any drilling required to mount the ballast brackets?
