No Planned HID Kit for the 2013+ RS... Disappointing.

[NetJunkie]

Got a response from BRP today that they are not planning to make a HID kit for the 2013+ RS. Guess that means we'll have to go 3rd party if we want one..which I know is cheaper, but I wouldn't mind a factory kit w/ new housings.

I know a factory kit is clean and will be reliable, but I just installed an aftermarket HID kit in my new Camry and am quite happy with it. Once you drive with HIDs you won't want anything else. Not sure if I'll install them in my wife's new ST which should be here shortly, but probably.

What did they change on the newer RS models so that the previous kits wouldn't work? :dontknow:

Just a wild guess, Bob...

Did they fit Air Con?? :dontknow: Last time I was in Daytona Beach I saw a Jeep Wrangler with no top and he had Air Con fitted!
I was thinking when I drove into that parking lot that it seemed a bit cooler there than out on A1A!! :yes:

Wiring changed a lot on 2013+.

The BRP HID kit will work on a 2013 all you half to do is change one connector. I have a OEM BRP kit on my 2013 and it works perfect with no warning or failure lights. They told me the same thing but it does work. the connector you cut is on the small harness that attaches to the headlights and is under a $10 per light if you wanna go back to standard.
