I reached out to Austin @ TRS if there is any relation to the Coplus and here is his exact reply :
"We have used their lights and build off of their models. For instance we will take a light shell they have and rebuild it with better components than what is normally in there!"

 

Their usual canned response. Dont be fooled. Still a good deal for coplus headlight.

 

I wasn't inferring that the quality is sub-par. TRS has a good reputation. We also live in a global economy -- not everything made overseas is junk. You get what you pay for. Coplus has multiple industry certifications for quality systems that makes them look like a genuinely solid manufacturer. To me, it doesn't matter where it is made as long as design and quality control are solid. I work in injection molding, so I just know the costs of injection molds, and they are a big investment. Just the headlight lens molds are probably in the range of $60,000, even being built in China. There's cheaper options if prototype tooling is used, but I think there is no way TRS would recoup that investment, but perhaps overseas there is a lot bigger market and Coplus took it. TRS "retrofitting" these housings with additional higher end components and making them viable for LHD markets is totally a viable business idea. I'm not hating on them saying they're just importing and reselling. I'll definitely be purchasing these at some point in the near future. Once I have them, I will be able to tell you how solid the molded parts are. From the coplus website they use UV resistant polycarbonate for the lense, which is really important. If you skimp on the materials, you end up with fogging and deteriorated lenses very quickly.

 

as Helios and Ryu already covered .... no one ever said TRS lacked quality in any way/shape/form.

all that was stated was .... the TRS light is pretty much an exact copy of the Coplus (which is a GOOD thing, because you're getting a warranty, and there's no crazy overseas shipping fees, and its less expensive)

 

So did anyone got shipping on these yet? I preordered these July 4th and still waiting to see these on my car.

 

When I ordered last week they said 8/20-8/22 should arrive at TRS and then ship out to me.

 

 

 

They took a lesson from Tesla.

 

Well damn, there goes my next SSA check. I do a lot of pre-dawn and twilight driving on non- street lamp roads and rural expressways, between the head lights (which are coooolll) and the fog lights, I think these should solve my visibility issues.

 

Exciting news I just got a email with tracking number so it looks like I will be seeing these next week. Three months of waiting and I almost cancelled a few times since they kept pushing the delivery dates back. Will update on the photo when I get it installed.

 

Awesome! I would love to see the beam pattern against a wall.

 

 

COPLUS! 110% confirmed!

 

Looks nice! Looking forward to your install pics.

 

 

Anyone purchased the Morimoto H4 LED replacement bulbs for the Fit's original reflector housing from Retrofit Source or from anywhere? Retrofit Source's compatibility specs on the linked page say "DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS: 4V-9V non-pulsed." I believe the 3rd generation Fit has DRL's at about 5 or 6 volts. I tried measuring them but got different results with different voltmeters. I forgot exactly. I think the Fit's DRL's are pulsed though - PWM, pulse-width modulation. And I think you therefore need an oscilloscope to measure the average voltage.

 

I got my delivery yesturday and did the install in 1 1/2 hours. I'll give you my thoughts on them later but here are a photo of it installed.

 

They do look good. Waiting for your review of the performance.

 

Just aligned the right to left adjustment if you see my second photo the beam is a little too close. I measured the center of the left headlight to right headlight to be 42in apart and made the adjustment 25feet away so now the beam is more spread out. On the stock headlights you cant make right to left adjustment only up and down. Overall I love the headlights, the build quality and material used is close to OEM. The light output compared to stock is much brighter and maybe close to a 35w hid kit with a define cutout pattern. I would highly recommend getting these if you plan to upgrade from stock and have the extra funds. The install was very easy, all plug and play no cutting.

There are only a few things I would like to change or maybe I dont know how to yet. The DRL stays on for 5 mins after you turn off the car I think that's a little too long 2 min is enough specially with our small car battery. I also thought we have a option to make the turn signal lights to blink on and off or sequential but I didn't see how to make the change in the instructions. It came with sequential I do like them this way but would like the option to since this was mentioned they could do both. Now to wait for Helios thoughts on his headlights once installed.
