Yup that seems to be the case. Huge improvement over stock, but definitely not perfect. You swapped in new projectors, correct?
For sure, having brighter light the front is way safer for you or others. Especially in the rain.
The plug and play's are definitely great and you can't beat the price. They also seem very reliable, haven't heard anyone complain about them. A while ago people had issues.
Great move with upgrading your lights and brakes after picking up your Roadster!
Yes, I swapped the projectors out too. After comparing a Roadster halogen and HID projector side by side, I could clearly see a difference in quality as well as with the focus/magnification between the projectors. And like a good camera lens, the focus and clarity directly affect the final light quality. So I inquired with TRS after some Internet searches, seeing if they could fit a projector into the stock halogen housing. After talking with them they agreed to take on the task. So I picked up an extra set of halogen lights from my friend Augie, who upgraded to the Tesla HIDs, using those as a test bed. So it overall took TRS a little over a year to get something back, however with that they did release a rather an inexpensive kit to the public for the Roadster. Obviously this project wasn't top priority for them. They were nice enough to comp me the lights which sweet. And they wouldn't even allow me to pay shipping, I guess since they felt so bad for taking so long.
Later TRS did have issues with defective ballasts. At lower temps they failed to fire the bulb, however a cycle of your lights on/off would resolve it. TRS contacted the supplier after identifying an issue and quickly resolved the issue. TRS sent replacement ballasts out free if cost. So that should be resolved now. Haven't heard any other issues other than that.
One setback going with TRS is that you have to ship out your only set of lights, so unless you picked up an extra set, your Roadster is down for at least 2 weeks. You can do the swap yourself, but first you have to remove the housing from the Roadster and then drop them in an oven to split them. So I can see many not wanting to take on that task.
As for the quality of light illuminated by the TRS including broad coverage and even light dispersment, having a Roadster with the Tesla HID & TRS HID side by side, its about the same with the end result. So I'm totally pleased.
