Morimoto headlights

[WilliamS]

Yea TRS runs a 30% off almost every year for Black Friday and usually 4th of July as well far as I can remember. Not sure if these will be valid for that discount being on preorder or not but I doubt it. I would probably jump on these if they throw 30% off them...

And that’s when I’ll be doing my projector fogs, not buying these headlights.

I saw this video in my recommended list on YouTube. For anyone familiar with Morimoto retrofits for headlights, you know the name well. It appears that they are in the final stages of offering a set of replacement headlights for the 4th gen Rams. The only thing I can hope for is they see fit to make a similar set for 5th gens also. Spoiler: there is no mention of price & they might only be available at Headlight Revolution.

I'll be interested in hearing how you like them & how they perform, even if these won't fit my truck.

They will perform amazing. I don’t need them to know that. Out of all the Morimoto products I’ve but they have all out done other brands and morimoto has never disappointed.

I’m currently running their HIDs and xb fogs.

I just want to see if they perform as good as your HIDs

The answer is no. They will be very close but not as quite as good, but it won’t be noticeable because the optics on the Morimoto housings will be far better than any stock projector or quad headlights. They will put the light beam in the right places. Also the LED housings are easier to install than an HID kit, HID kits have many more components that can fail vs LEDs, and you won’t have any bulbs burning out with LEDs vs HID bulbs only lasting 2 to 4 years if that.

Here is the output comparison of the LED housings vs the stock projectors.

Those pics are great, but sometimes LED’s don’t have the depth/distance that HIDs do. I already have Morimoto HIDs and just don’t want to trade performance of the light for the “cool look” of these. I really want to buy these that’s why I look forward to your comparison review

That’s why they built housings specifically for LEDs. Because the only way you can get good output from the LEDs and get that distance. Regular led bulbs in stock housings are garbage. Look at it this way. The leaders in stock lighting (bmw, Acura, Mercedes, Audi) all run LEDs on their cars from the factory. HIDs are on their way out.

The strangest thing I heard in the video was the guy saying that they should be easy to do a retrofit on. I would figure the reason they are selling them is to offer the best directly to the buyer. I would expect Morimoto to make the projectors as good as their retrofit kits. Maybe the guy in the video was just mistaken.

He didn’t say retrofit. He said they’ll be easy to open up and customize

Ah. I guess I automatically associate opening up the housings with doing retrofits.

Yeah no they are a retrofitters paradise in terms of customization.

Pretty certain I saw an MSRP of about $1500 in the first thread about these from a few weeks ago.

Is that the pre-order only price or their regular price?

Edit: Nevermind, checked Retroshop's web site. Looks like their regular price will be $1350

We have had 2 customers complaining about those lamps, because they are aftermarket made by https://www.coplus.com.tw/home they don’t want to spend over $1000 for an aftermarket lamps and they say fitment is not the same as the factory ones .
We think they are nice looking lamps but we know you can get best results with the factory lamps customizations and use biled projectors which is better than anything else etc etc....

But for those are waiting for these aftermarket lights you can give them a try and see.

Any questions let us know . Thanks

How can you possibly have customers complaining about the XBs when they haven't even been released yet?

They came to my shop complaining about that., if they really had it or it was a friend of them I don’t know, all I know is that they came out with that. FYI, I have seen some on media’s with those lamps already!
Again this is not my lamps, or product I. Just sharing here what they said about .

Someone was flat out lying to you because they won’t even been released until sometime in December. There is only 1 headlamp out there right now. There’s not even a complete set out in the world. Just literally one housing. Which is a 3D printed mock up for test fitting which is why you see pictures of the ram sport with only one xb lamp and the other still stock.

If it’s still the price I bought them for you won’t see that price until you add the lights to your cart. Go back and add them to you cart and see if they change.
