Default My Retrofit Source experience

I was pretty clueless when I originally started thinking of putting a HID Kit in my head lights. Someone mentioned using projectors so I started researching and theretrofitsource.com kept coming up on different forums. I'd already ordered a HID kit from Xenon Depot who are another great and legit site for lighting so I only needed projectors, shrouds, and bulbs. Now I had an idea of what everything was but was still scratching my head when I was shopping around. I decided to make it easier on myself and started using the chat customer service box with their rep Carlos. Unfortunately, I was working in the middle of no where and was losing my internet connection every few minutes. This was repeatedly happening for almost a week until I said "**** it" and drove an hour to the closest library with a stable connection. Carlos was finally able to set everything up and point me in the right direction when I told him I wanted my ES to look clean and stock, nothing crazy. I was able to install everything earlier this week and am still blown away when I drive at night. TRS exceeded my expectations and was very patient with a newbie I highly recommend them


Fx-R 3's, e46-R shrouds, and D2s Philips 5000k Xtreme Vision bulbs from Retrofit Source
