tbr701 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I am ready to purchase a TRS HID kit for my 2014 Edge Limited. Trying to decide between the 3Five and 5Five. I have read a number of post and many 5Five owners comment on how bright the 5Five are over the 3Five which would appear to be the way to go. However, some say the 5Five are too bright and get headlight flashing from oncoming vehicles. Not sure which way to go. I have several questions which I have listed below. 1. Are they any 5Five owners that wish they had gone with the 3Five? 2. Are there any other concerns beside the lights being too bright that would support the 3Five over the 5Five? 3. Are there less issues with the automatic headlights on the Edge properly working with the 3Five over the 5Five? I would appreciate anyone's input to these questions or other recommendations. Thanks, TBR701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would jump on the Hidplanet forum to see if TRS is still having issues with their ballasts before you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjsockett Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have had the newest set of 5Five ballast in my car for about 2 months with almost no issues. I have had a couple of occasions where they don't come on automatically when I turn the car on, but I have found it only happens if I turn the key very quickly If I pause for a split second at on before starting it works every time. I would go with the 5five again. Keep in mind that you need to run a relay for power on the 5five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've had my 5Five's in for two years. Auto on has been working flawlessly the entire time (haven't moved the dial since buying the car). I use the HD harness and never looked back. Never get flashed either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbr701 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks for the heads up on TRS ballast issues. Looks like it might still be an issue. May be better to wait awhile longer till the issues are resolved. TBR701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie630 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have been running the 5five from them for almost 3 years with retro fitted fx-r projectors and I love them I they are super bright I do get people flashing me sometimes but not to often. I do have to say once in a wile one of the ballets don't turn on and I have to cycle them but that could just be a problem on my end. But over all I would definitely recommend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
