No problem bro. I haven't had any issues w/ mine...I had a ballast go out on mine (purely my fault, had corrosion on the prongs bc I didn't put any dielectric grease and didn't originally clip it in fully). But when the ballast went out no issues w/ the computer. Retro-Solutions sent me a new ballast and everything was good. Some guys have had issues w/ the TPMS light goes off upon start up then turns off after 5-10 seconds. But in my truck I have zero TPMS light and everything works flawlessly.

The only issue will be the blinding glare you'll be producing and blinding the **** out of anyone coming at you. Please don't do that. Get projectors from JJ. Email jeremy@retroshop.us
