I have had the HID Xtreme kit from KBcarstuff in for 8 months with zero issues. I got the 4300 bulbs with the phillips upgrade option. Wish I would have gotten 5000k but the lights are very bright, just not the look I wanted. I had a few questions before and after putting them in and Danny was very helpfull. He even checked on me a month after my last question to make sure all was well. You can use code MOPARHID to get $25 off and the canbus at no charge. The kit includes all wiring needed. Hope this helps.

I'm glad I decided to go with another HID kit from Amazon with quality Philips bulbs....and the kicker....it was less than half of the TRS kit!

I have to say as much as I wanted to install an HID kit I also had heard of these type horror stories and was very apprehensive about taking the leap...

But I now have 15K miles on my 15 Suburban- including 5 road trips which involved a min 12-13 hours each way much of which was in the dark WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE!!

This is the kit I went with:
OPT7® Bolt AC 55w HID Xenon Conversion Kit w/ Relay Harness & Capacitors - 2 Year Warranty - H11 (5000K, Bright White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC2ZU4K/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iO42vbMDRMRCW

are the Philips bulbs included with the kit or did you buy them separately?

They were included in the kit. Surprised more people haven't heard of this brand/supplier - very nice quality kit at half the price and has 500+ reviews for an average of 4.5/5 stars.

And it is the 55W kit not the 35W so extra lumens and absolutely no heat/housing issues and that's after 3 round trip drives through TX this summer - each drive was 10-12hrs.

One note - I did lengthen the power lead in the kit that is from the battery to the fuse/relay by about 3ft so I could mount the fuse/relay on the front bulkhead and so that the wire harness for the driver side would reach comfortably routed in the channel (out of site) over the radiator. It was a simple push out the connector for the power lead from the fuse link and made another wire which was longer with the same type wire end and pushed it back into the fuse link.

Ya if you ever get an error code (dash light) due to a MAF sensor issue like you mentioned.....just disconnect the positive battery cable and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes....reconnect it and it should be reset.

I do this very same thing anytime I get an error code show up (in particular after any mods - but then again as with any mod you should disconnect the battery as step #1) and have yet to run into a code that didn't reset itself.

I started this thread and I am sad to say that I retract me recommendation of TRS. I have an intermittent ballast and like others they want me to take it out of the car and cut it up to get a replacement. That is not too convenient for a car that carries my family. It needs headlights.

Customer service is rude and they don't seem to care at all that this post sent many customers their way. I would look elsewhere for a quality HID kit. TRS charges a premium price and can't back it up with customer service.


Yessss thank you. I regret buying this ************* HID kit so bad. Terrible customer service too. Hope everyone quits using them.

Thanks a Million for this post. I was very skeptical of ordering the Morimoto or TRS kit after reading about the problems some other members have had. I saw your post and decided to go with the Amazon 55w ballast kit in 5000k. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!

Glad you like it! I love mine as well!! Just trying to share what I've experienced in case it helps anyone out... I've been 'into' cars and tinkering for 30+ years now and have been down several roads...
