I'm about to jump headfirst into retrofitting a set of headlights...I have the morimoto projectors and am looking for what your thoughts are for best bulbs to put in, and seen some using a cube pod for the high beam does anyone know which one or the size...thanks

Morimoto has the XB high beam only projectors and there is the Profile Hi-Lens projectors for high beams that would probably be better than a LED cube.

As far as Morimoto projector bulbs, I use their HID XB bulbs.

Depends on what you're looking for out the bulb. Haven't kept up, but I don't think I've seen anything better than the Nightbreak Laser D2s bulbs for straight visibility. They're right in the 4200k color temp and do pretty good cutting through dust/weather. For my highs I just have some amber LED bulbs in there so give me some more glare cutting when I kick on my highs in in climate weather/off road in dust. If you want more of the 5000/6000k look the the Morimoto bulbs ain't bad or if you want higher end bulbs there's the Osram CBB's. Phillips also has the Xtreme Vision line which aren't as warm as the Osram, but also are pretty up there in output quality.

I would recommend the morimoto xb led highbeam projectors. I just installed them in a set of lights I did. I previously had the profile Hi-Lense Led highbeam projectors installed and definitely like the output of the morimotos more. For low's during testing I wasn't impressed with the 35w morimoto hid's so I went with the 55w. Currently I'm running 55w Innovited hid's. I'm hopefully going to get the morimotos in tomorrow or this weekend to get a good comparison.

That is what I think I may try out...which morimoto do you have....or is there only one, lol...yes I'm really am jumping headfirst into the headlight thing and just want to make sure I have the right parts and bulbs, as I'm pretty confident I can figure it out as long as I have the right stuff...I did just look and seen the xb h11 55w with 5500k morimoto and i already have the h1 mini 7.0 morimoto projector...I'm assuming they would work together....sorry for the what may seem like obvious questions

I also have the h1 morimoto 7.0 projectors. I have the h1 morimoto xb55 with their 5500k bulbs. Also am using the mor1moto bulb holders. The two paired is a great combo in my opinion. I do wish I went with the morimoto ds2 5.0 projectors. I think they are a little brighter than the h1 projectors, also would have been easier to install in the alpharex headlights I have. I'm not holding my breath with the morimoto hid's. For whatever reason our trucks don't always play nice with them. I had issues with a set on a 2010 that I had. So that's why I bought the Innovited kit. I've used them before and know they work. Only reason I didn't install the morimotos yet is I ordered a extra set of dust covers for my lights because I couldn't fit the morimoto kit inside.

I'm about to order the morimoto led high beam projector and a set of the xb hid ..but befor i do I want to make sure I get the right bulbs, if I have the h1 7.0 morimoto projectors I would need the h1 xb bulbs correct...the h1 is just the projector fitting maybe, or would I need the h11 bulbs...

H1 bulbs only. Ballast doesn't matter. H1 is the size and base of the bulbs.
