yes

i've been looking for a while at getting 50/55w ballasts with 50/55w 5000K bulbs and relays (so stock harness doesn't see all the power), it's just a matter of buckling down and doing it
ballasts: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro..._id=163{19}282
bulbs: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...s_id=240{18}67
relay: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3182
those are what i was looking at

nice thing is they have an 18-month warrant, no-questions-asked and you don't have to send the dead parts back in, they'll just send you new ones immediately

I like TRS because they are personable. I emailed them and was asking questions and the guy asked for my phone number and called and chatted with me on the phone. Plus they are US-based etc., etc. Nothing against VVME, I'm sure they're great, I personally don't mind paying a few bucks extra for something like this.

On the other hand, my catback was $300 shipped off eBay and I haven't been disappointed with it and all the flanges and welds are holding up fine haha

Cool thanks. I just picked up 4 bbs wheels and want to have them all re-done.

I hear you. My friends and I have all used them and have ordered between 10-12 sets for our cars and never had an issue. Go with what you like!
