High beam projector or pod

[Jeff Krawczyk]

I'm currently retrofitting a pair of quads and I originally wanted to use the morimoto high beam led projector for my high but not sure it will fit, has anyone used one or any pics of one installed....

The threaded shaft is listed as being a 20mm and the hole in the headlight bucket is 3/4 inch, so that maybe a tight fit to seat the projector itself. As far as clearance behind the OEM bezel, it may be a bit of a tight fit if you plan on using a projector shroud.

I have the Profile Hi-Lens in my high beams and I had to trim the inner edge of the OEM bezel of the headlight. I know @1500ram12 has a set he is going to use, I don't know if he is using it in a quad set up.

Maybe he has a quad set apart that he can check fitment....

We put HID Bi-Xenon Projectors in quads, both the high and low slots. Had to do a bit of trimming and a lot of aligning.

The morimoto HB led highbeam projector is a 2.5" projector. So fitting that and a shroud will definitely take trimming. As posted below I'd probably trim more of the quad bezel then the shroud. The one positive sides of the profile pivot Hi-Lense Led highbeam projectors is you don't need a shroud with them. I believe they are technically a 2.5" projector also.

I did install the morimoto HB led highbeam projectors. I installed them in a set of alpharex 2019 style headlights so I didn't have to worry about fitment. Mounting was more of a challenge.

I was just looking at the hi lens and think I may go that route...but may just get both to see if I can make the projector work first as that is what I would rather....I believe I read you had used both how was the light output from the lens compared to the led hi projector...

When I tested both with a lux meter, morimoto tested brighter. This was at roughly 20'. Although I ran both it's hard to say because they are with different set ups. The Hi-Lense I ran along side the stock alpharex projectors and they don't have a high beam feature, with a bunch of different low beam bulbs. They definitely are bright. With the morimotos I have them paired with the morimoto H1 7.0 projectors and a 55w Morimoto hid's and the combo is great.

This lux meter is not designed for LED light sources, and as a result, readings can be off by 20%. Or more.
