INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS
Renowned: The Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best set of HID's. We urge you to check out the specs below, Read the reviews and then ask yourself whether your ability to see well while driving at night is worth saving a couple bucks?
HID Ballasts: Designed in California by Morimoto's engineer, Yoshi Ishida, the Morimoto XB 2.0 HID Ballasts are just as good looking on the outside as they are well-engineered on the inside. They are available in both 35w and 50w versions, use proprietary software by the pros at Hylux paired with packaging perfection from the masters at Morimoto. This is today's most modern iteration of a model that has sold more than half a million units since inception, and we don't think it can really get any better!
HID Bulbs: At the heart of the XB H11 bulbs is their perfectly aligned 100% Philips Quartz glass that houses a capsule from APL-USA. Using high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer; the bulbs produce nearly the same lumin Osity (intensity) as the amazing Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night!
Wiring: The special Silverado Spec HD Relay Harness features an all-new completely sealed double 40A Relays, 14 gauge stranded copper wire wrapped in durable black tech-flex mesh that looks like a factory harness once installed. No cutting or splicing here: there are only five connections and they're all plug-n-play. Most importantly, the harness includes the proper capacitor to absorb and smooth out the pulsed signal from the factory fog light circuit that plagues these trucks.
Backed Up: Let's not forget the 5-year warranty on the entire kit*. The Elite system is designed to run for 2500 hours, so that's what it's guaranteed for. Don't buy into empty promises from other places offering BS "lifetime" warranties. Nothing lasts forever, and if you think "the other guy" will be there to pick up the phone or even stay in business long enough to assist you when there's a problem; guess again! [*XB55 Silverado HID kits have a 3 year warranty]
User-Approved: By satisfied enthusiasts with all kinds of cars and trucks. With a quick and easy search we pulled up install examples (1,2,3,4,5,6) that span several generations of the Elite HID systems! If you haven't made a decision just yet, keep reading!

Extremely Satisfied
by Ryan Meynard
The whole process from ordering to installation was super easy. The delivery turnaround was lightning fast. The installation was very simple. Before getting started my advise would be take a minute to map out where you want to put the ballasts and relays, allow some extra time for that. I used 3M 30# double sided stick tape and that made it super easy. The light output for the low beams is a 200% improvement over stock OEM.
Great kit and quality!
by Jacob
I've previously have three different sets of HID headlights on previous vehicles and none of them came close to the quality or the kitting as these from The Retrofit Source. The installation was very easy and the fit and finish was worth every penny! I'd recommend these without hesitation.
Good Product - Bit of a pain to install
by Mike
I received my HID kit this past week in the mail and installed them yesterday on my 2015 Silverado with factory projectors. Couldn't be happier with the appearance of the lights and the kit itself... Everything was great quality. The only negative thing I can say is that the H11 bulbs that come with the kit have a connector that sticks straight back instead of the 90 degree connector on the factory halogen. This made the bulb too long to fit into the dustcap and a major pain in the ass to reinstall the caps, I ended up having to drill another hole in the cap so that the end of the bulb could stick through the dustcap and then silicone around the opening to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Considering this is Silverado Spec I wouldn't expect to run into this issue.
HID 2015 Silverado w/projection headlights
by Anthony Campanelli
So I initially bought a cheap HID kit thinking id save money. You get what you pay for. Didn't work after about 3 works of troubleshooting (from a un-named company). I contacted the guys at TRS and they led me In the right direction. So far (2 weeks) I've had absolutely no issues. The DRL work perfect and no issues with AUTO lights. Thanks for the help and great customer service so far. The quality of the the kit is top notch.
Just Amazing
by Eric Falascino
My wife bought me this kit for my birthday. As others have said, this is the way that these trucks should have came from the factory. I went with the 35w 5500K and am very impressed. I don't think that I will need my high-beams anymore (when I turn them on, the Morimoto HIDs make them barely visible). I was on the fence about getting an HID kit because of the wiring, but it only took a little over an hour to install. The best part (other than being able to see amazingly at night) is that the kit is well hidden in the engine bay, making it seem like everything is stock.
High quality parts and I would (and have) recommend to everyone I know who has one of these trucks.
OEM QUALITY
by juan
Bought this kit for my 2015 silverado with out the projectors, installation took me about 1 1/2 ,but I am very anal , I like everything to look OEM. After a couple of months the kit is working flawless , no dimming of flickering , is about 4 times brighert than factory halogens , beautiful crisp white light with a very small hint of blue . If you own a silverado you owe yourself this kit , you will appreciate the brightness of the HID .
Low Beam HID's in a 2016 2500HD
by Nicholas Boyle
This HID kit is great. It is totally worth the money spent. I went with the 5500's with the 35 watt ballasts and they are at least 3-4 times brighter than the stock halogens. The kit came with everything that I needed and it was an easy install (about 1.5 hours).
Un resolved problems 2016 Silverado HD
by Ruben Jr. Hurtado
After emailing TRS, they advised this unit would work perfectly with my truck. I purchased the unit with 35w ballast and 5500k bulbs and installed it exactly how they suggested (website example). After about a month one side of the lights went out. I purchased replacement bulbs thinking it was the bulb that went out but i was wrong. Replacing the bulb didn't fix the problem. I did some trouble shooting and discovered the ballast was out. I emailed TRS and they replaced the burnt ballast very quickly. I installed the new ballast and 1 week later, the light went out again. I'm done trouble shooting with their product. Now I'm awaiting their reply to see what they suggest i do now. Hopefully they can help me fix this issue.
Simply Amazing

These lights are amazing. As others have said, they are the way that these trucks should have came from the factory. I went with the 35w 5500K and have been very impressed so far. These have been a great birthday gift.
If you are thinking that the HID wiring is too cumbersome, i thought that too, until I installed this kit. Not bad at all and can make it very well hidden in the engine bay.
