Well I ended ou having the bad ballasts from The Retrofit Source which wore out my 3Five bulbs in the matter of weeks. TRS sent me the brand new designed ballasts for free and let me upgrade to the XB35's for only $25 more. I'm not sure if it was the other bulbs going bad but they worked fine once they would turn on due to the ballasts. But now with the XB's in there I can totally tell there is a wider and brighter beam. Vision Autoworks did a fabulous job on the retro. It was just the bad batch of parts from TRS. All good now. Cullen was great to work with and even stepped out of dinner one night to talk to me. Highly recommend. I'd be happy to help you out with my experience with them.
Also I added halos for the helluva it. Didn't like them at first but they are really growing on me.

AR, did you get the 35W or 55W ballast?

This is true. The lens holder part is plastic.

Ah I see. I guess I'll go with standard 35W then. Thanks guys.

People have ran 55w in the MH1 fine but I would not recommend it, and yea TRS specifically states not to use 55w kits in their mini projectors (MH1 and D2S v2.0, the 3.0 D2s can handle 55w apparently.) It is more of a cooling issue since the projectors are well "mini" and don't dissipate heat as well as other full size projectors. Due to this, you run into the problem of burning bowls running 55w. Also keep in mind that brighter isn't always better, the brighter the light the less distant vision outside of your actual output/cutoff you will see.
Came in here to check for an update, almost finished Lee?

Well since my headlights are trashed from the deer hit I decided to go retro. I really hope they don't total my avy now lol. Went with eagle eye replicas with 5000k Morimoto 3Five H1 HID kit, Iris shrouds, and mini H1 bixenon projectors. Getting them done out of Marietta, GA from a company called Vision Auto Works. Here's a sample pic:
Looking good Felix, congrats on the retros you will love them. You should of used the new square projectors since nobody has the yet
