    Yea I didn’t have any problems with my lights at all. 5 years worth of warranty is awesome and if it starts getting water after three years then I’ll replace them and have a new set with another 5 years . Not sure what happened to the plastic tab. Heated shop or a garage works very well. But to each their own I’d say.

    Alot of rules and TRS policies have changed for its dealers since I posted this back in February. Back then the ETA was Spring, Its almost September. I never said I wont offer a group buy, I said that its unlikely that I will. Im continuing to monitor this thread and reading the comments.

    Chances are the Labor day sale wont include the XB headlights. They usually exclude the XB line-up from their major sales.

    Hmmm, interesting. That would be a fair reason to hold out a bit longer then...they answered me ambiguously so I thought they would but technically they never said the XBs...

    I am waiting until the problems are cleaned up (error messages, mounting tabs do not line up, moisture in the lens, etc.) before I commit then I will have to find someone to buy my 2018 Platinum lights

    I think I’ll replace with the stock Toyota LED. At this point they are much more proven.

    It didn't. I can only get one of them to work sequentially & tech support from TRS has gone radio silent. If they can't help me get them working today I will return them. I don't hate the factory headlights enough to deal with issues. :(

    Oh my goodness hopefully they will reach out to you soon! Maybe they rushed some of these things out to fast before getting the kinks out???

    Cut your losses. I’m disappointed by all of the issues. For as long as it took Morimoto to release, there should have been zero issues IMO.
    And, I was told there would be a group buy with a substantial discount.
    All of this adds up to me looking elsewhere.

    @azTony - error messages are only occurring for guys with OEM LED low/high beam trucks. The user here who posted that is actually doing beta testing for compatibility on Tundras with that equipment with a set of prototypes. The prototypes he's using are hand-sealed, thus the condensation problems too. Nobody with production lights is having that issue.

    @gazGuzzler - Unsure of what troubleshooting you've encountered so far, but on the back of the lights there is a cable that controls whether or not they flash sequentially or non, is that something they brought up, or that's not the issue?

    So it appears that may be my problem. I did not hear back from TRS today so I'm guessing that's why. Should I be asking to return them & wait until they have them working for my truck?

    On the TRS site we do list them as compatible with the OE LED trucks, but with the caveat that they will cause an error message. There will indeed be a sub-harness available that will fix that error message for those guys, should be available in the next couple weeks for <$50

    So if you have the top of the line lights on your truck these will require an additional $50 for a wiring harness? I'm out

    I will say, if that's the case I will hold on to mine and wait for the harness. These things look amazing. I still need to help getting them to operate correctly as I still don't have the turn signal working. They really are a great looking headlight.

    I don’t think their site is allowing them to be added to the cart yet. Must not have the new shipment in

    They look great! As soon as TRS explains how to set them up on my truck I will Re-install. The sequential turn signal really looks sharp.

    I’ve had mine installed since the 13th with no issues. I’m using sequential turns with a load resister and aftermarket LED tails.

    I was using the OEM LED heads prior to these.

    Do you have the sequential turn signal harness unplugged on the back?

    ** update **

    I just changed the word “bag” to “back”
