[LGSONE]

Anyone install these yet?

Can't stand the stock lamp look with HID's... These will match the same color temp I have for the HID's and I'm sure will have better output than the stock...

Great choice!, I have the round XB Fogs on my Avalanche and like them a lot, The output is wide, bright and cutoff looks sick!

Here a some pic's of the install. I tried to get pic's of what is behind the wheel well cover that is held in place with 2 10mm bolts and a pop in plastic rivet. More on next post.....

Well.. back to not being able to post pics... Attn IT, don't do server maintenance on the busiest days of use...

We'll wait.

Thank you for what you posted so far!

How is the quality of the kit? Perceived longevity?

Still no Pic's geez... anyhow, quality is just fine, no complaints. No burred edges, clean and professional build quality. if you have ever gone the Chinese route with HID / LED, you know what I mean. The factory connector does not seat perfectly with the TRS harness. I remembered with my Silverado you have to take a needle nose and remove a small key on the plastic harness. Once I did this it went on just fine. You wouldn't even know it was done. Best thing about that is it is not on the OEM connector. It took a bit to get them aimed to my liking, At first I was like WT*, then after getting closer to the garage door... the o Dah moment and a phillips stubby screwdriver was all that was needed to get them off the ground and out in front a bit. Very defined beam pattern and I'll need to aim them again but the wife was getting tired of being the tool caddy. The light is not quite as close of a match to my HID's at first glance. I need to double check what TRS ships as the HID color temp as the fogs look closer to 6000K. Could be me, pic's will tell the story and they will come soon. I'll post up some more pic's once able and hopefully they will help others as i could not find much googling around.

Great info. Thanks man.
Did u remove the whole bumper to install it or just removed the wheel well?

 

[LGSONE]

Just the two bolts and the pop in rivet. Wheel well material is a fiber type plastic and it just folded up and out of the way.
