My DDM kit lasted over a year, and I had no issues with the bulbs warming up, flickering, etc. My main reason for upgrading is for the added width of light output the HID projectors provide versus the halogen projectors. I will also be going with the Morimoto system for added reliability.

Btw Steve, did you ever go for the amber turn signal on the hight beam reflector?
A while back when I first got the car I was using the hight beam as DRL with a cree hight power LED bulb like the one below until one of them burned out then I decided to just do the whole LED Halo instead.

How did you go about wiring up DRLs?

Yeah it'll be awesome. I was planning on doing after the first of the year, but I may end up doing here soon. My college classes just ended yesterday, so I have some time until they start back...but I'll still need it done in a day lol

I ordered a set of the projectors from TRS on 12/12/13 and they still haven't shipped yet. TRS said they didn't have any in stock and it could take awhile to get some more in.
On a side note: I heard from a member on HIDPlanet that the RX350 shields may directly swap onto our stock projectors. He said that they fit on the Camry projectors and he believed the Camry and tC projectors may be the same. If that's true some you of guys that don't want to buy projectors can use just the shields for a better cutoff line and no squirrel spotters. Plus it'll make your projectors bi-function too. I plan to do this with the stock projectors and retrofit them into my 2001 F150.

I wonder if I started a RX350 revolution haha because it sounded like they had plenty in stock at the time when I did my retro.
Anyway man that's interesting about the shields possibly being interchangeable. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that is the case. Our projectors are in fact the same ones that are found in the Camry. That's the only reason we even found out that the RX retro was possible in the tC2. DigitalPro saw that folks were doing the RX retro in Camry's and posited that they could be the same.
I'd love to see you give it a shot. Sounds like it'll be another sticky for sure.

I was scrolling through the TRS website and noticed the RX350 projectors are now at $75.00
on the description is states "All parts are there and included, but their sub-par condition is whats preventing us from selling at their full retail price of $225/set"
I am going to grab a pair of these and retrofit myself a second pair of headlights, all they need is a clear lens and maybe some modification.

You might as well get them while they'll there. I ordered a set at full retail in mid December and still haven't received them. I've talked with TRS, and they said the RX350 is harder for them to source in the perfect condition they are looking for. I don't mind waiting, so it's no big deal for me.
