We Do Lighting Better Because We Test! - Авто та транспорт
This is the most easy and professional light exchange on UA-cam I just see some people rip up the grill etc to do the same work 👏👏🥇🥇👍🏽
It is extremely Straight forward! Thank you for your support! :)
Took the words right out of my mouth i want to buy a f150 just to put these lights on them 👌🏽
Thank you for this it was very helpful turned it into a 6 min job for me
Glad it helped
Should I get an hid kit or leds for my 2007 is250? What is better and what is cheaper. I want something that is super bright and looks cool.
Wow, $1500! I did the OEM LED swap for the same price. Bought the new headlights from Ford, the harness to make them work from the F150 Forum and I already had the ForScan program. Granted, the OEM headlights have increased in price... I’d still opt for factory.
I just purchased a 2016 F150 and do not like the performance of the stock headlights. I love the look and performance of these but have one question. If a bulb goes bad can it be replaced or does the entire light assembly have to be replaced?
Definitely would like to see an install on an 2018 f150. I have had my eye on these for a long time.
Keep an eye out, it's in the plans!
I actually prefer the OEM LED for their lowlight projection. The Morimotos do not “reach out” very far- becomes somewhat of an issue on a dark road with a car 30+ yards away. Brights are better than OEM LED though. Also- y’all will want to make sure you remove the yellow and white clip from the front fascia and place back on the fender before re-install. Otherwise, you won’t get your fender back on
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
I received and installed. Beautiful..No issues other than the instruction sheet has a couple of issues...🙏👀
The video shows him taking out the fuse and inserting the DRL cable. Does that cable supplement the fuse he pulled out? I have a set of these ordered and should be here soon. Just wasn't sure about the missing fuse.
Thanks
Do a sxs comparison to the factory led
I own a 2016 F-150 and just bought the gen2 xb headlights. How come my drl isn't working after I installed it in the fuse suggested from Morimoto install instructions (Fuse #113). I've also tried fuse #97 and no luck. And the startup sequence doesn't work. Any suggestions/thoughts?
What would be a good fog light combination with these lights and do you have a video on installing new fog lights or is it just a simple reach under the wheel well and change without having to remove panels? Thanks in advanced
Why not go with the matching Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights? :)
Link: headlightrevolution.com/morimoto-ford-f150-f250-f350-2015-xb-led-fog-lights/
It is as easy as unbolting the factory fog light housing and popping the new one in!
can u guys do a installation video on 2018 F150 with regular grill (not STX or sports package)?
Everyone done this in a sports package with shaded headlight style. They are looking badass but no one did it on the regular chrome package. Just curious to see how it looks on the chrome package F150.
also, how is the comparison between this one and the Anzo switchback headlight?
These housings are superior to Anzo in every single way but Price, I'll bet my paycheck on it. They are brighter, way better made, no moisture issues, warranty is nicer, beam patterns are great, the display and quality is way more professional, they are just so much nicer than Anzo.
We will have more videos here soon on more trucks, keep your eyes peeled!
Retro fits are about 700. This deal isn't too bad for 8 projectors. If you think this is expensive then look for the ridged led light bar. Over $2000 depending on size.
Just broke guys that make f-all bitching cause they can't afford em.
Just installed these and the fuse tap apparently causes a low oil pressure warning, assuming it's because the DRLs are drawing too much power to allow the sensor to run properly. When I pulled the tap and re installed the original fuse....that fixed the low pressure reading but was then left with no DRLs of course. Looking for a fix. Thanks.
That's a very strange issues that I haven't seen before. Reach out to our sales team, and we'll be able to figure this out. Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
Any idea how I can run these with the Raptor-style grille that has 3 amber DRLs? You need to splice into the parking/ DRL wires of the lights, which looks simple on stock headlights, but difficult on these Morimotos due to the sheath around the wire. Appreciate any help; excited to pull the trigger on these soon!!!
The sheath is very simple to strip back and expose the wiring if you’d like to connect to those wires.
I have Anzo headlights on mine, I feel like they aren’t much brighter than factory. Might have to pick up some of these
You'll love these bad boys! WAY better than Anzo.
Same here bro, the Anzo's look good but aren't bright enough.....I just ordered the Morimoto's!
Bought these about 3 yrs ago for my 2017. Love them but the beam need to be leveled. Morimoto tells me I have to uninstall them to adjust. So I’ve just settled for poorly aimed beams. Would love some feedback about easiest way to level
You will have to remove them, the horizontal adjustment is unaccessible otherwise.
When they light up, do they look like a continuous line like OEM or do they look beady like Chevy leds (a bunch of little circles lined up). Some pics the look like a straight line of light, but in others it looks like a bunch of little beads. Thanks
It's a continuous line !
My truck came with factory leds.(king ranch model)
Will this work or do I need to modify the wiring?
These will work just fine, they come with the wiring for both OEM Halogen and OEM LED! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
So the same exact headlights reviewed by The Retrofit Source had different results.
According to their test, low was 260lux and high was 1050lux. Why such a difference in lux readings?
Good question, we'll have to look into that and get back to you!
Headlight Revolution so retrofit source replied to me saying its a difference in testing environments which could be it but even if they tested the light in a pitch black room and at 25ft which seems to be what they and you test at, their results seem staggering low. I’m pretty sure my Supernova V4 headlights are brighter than what they tested these headlights at.
Hey I’m looking to get these for my 2016 platinum, my stock ones are led and was wondering if I need any kind of adapter ? Thanks
No adapter needed!
Hey guys, how close are you to the wall with those measurements? Over at 4x4TruckLEDs.com we measured the stock OEM at about 455 lux at 20' and the Morimoto XB Headlights at around 1,100 lux or so. Just curious how far you are from the wall
In the video he said 20ft.
is the beam height adjustable? wondering how it is for lifted trucks
They are fully adjustable, You can get them exactly where you want them!
Does the drl harness come with the lights or sold separately?
Everything you need is included with the kit. :)
Is there anyway to change to amber drl using forscan?
No. The DRL is determined by which headlight you buy, there is an amber version! 😁
Idk if you are still commenting here but I bought these headlights and they didn’t come with the resistors and compactors under the orange portion of the headlight on the back. So the wires that connect to the connectors for high and low beam are missing. What can I do to fix this???

how are they vs stick led headlights .. you guys need to do a comparison with stock leds ... and not just say they are brighter. witch they probably are but we need to see
We did do the testing with the OEM halogens!
Low Beam:
*Stock halogen bulbs: 650 lux
*Morimoto XB LED Headlights: 1,330 lux (104% Brighter)
High Beam:
*Stock halogen bulbs: 1,650 lux
*Morimoto XB LED Headlights: 4,150 lux (151% Brighter)
We have not had an OEM LED truck in our studio for comparisons.
Stay away from projector headlights in general, they are extremely dim compared to stock. Especially since nowadays everyone is sticking LED bulbs into stock reflectors which is technically not allowed. I've went through 4 different headlight housings from different companies each in the $500-$2k range, over 20 different brands of LED H11s. The biggest issue is that heat is killing these LEDs so nothing really lasts.
I have went back to stock and hoping Morimoto or another company do away with projectors and go with reflectors. Especially since all the cars on these roads always seem to have brighter lights due to having the reflector housing & LED combo.
How does it compare to the 2019 LEDs??
Very similarly!
I just saw a video about some NOVA-Series LED Projector Headlights. They seem to be a competitor for the Morimotos. The price is also close to the Morimotos, but ever so slightly cheaper at $1,200.
If there's a way for you to get your hands on them to review and compare the two, that would be great! I still plan on getting the Morimotos soon, but if the NOVAs offer similar quality and specs, then i may go with those.
Please, HELP! 😂
Thanks for the info!
what is the warranty and lifespan on these LED headlights i mean if im going to pay 1500 dollars for headlights i want to know i can at least replace the bulbs and these dont seem like you can
I just bought a pair. Can’t say I know the details, but 5 years is the length.
do you have them yet and can you tell if the lightbulbs were replaceable?
@@NordicViking88 There are no replaceable bulbs on the housings, They are fully LED as-is. Why would you want to replace the best of the best?
@@HeadlightRevolution bulbs dont last forever so if they go out after the 5 year warranty then your stuck with buying another headlight housing set for 1500 dollars. they are probably one of the best looking for the F150 2018-2019 models IMO that i would need for my truck but i would want something that i can have a lifetime warranty bulb from GTR lighting that can be replaced.
Headlight Revolution and if one of the led burns out at the end of the 5th year?...somewhat expensive option to replace the whole kit then I would imagine.
Just purchased these from you guys! Awesome lights but I installed on my ‘17 f150 but no matter how much I try to adjust the aim, the passenger side light is not leveling out. Horizontally it is not leveled. The cut off is the tilted. Driver side has a nice horizontal cut off but not the passenger, Any suggestions?

So I think it's time you guys do an update video on the 2018 install. We are in to the 2019's and you just put out 2017 stuff? And then we need to talk about what is and what isn't. I bought a pair so I feel that gives me a dog in this battle...if you look hard enough f150 forum you will here about all kinds of things with these lights. Hyper flashing/radio noise etc. So let's get past how great they look and get to the meat and potatoes. Patiently waiting....
Morimoto has been recently revising their headlights over and over, ironing the wrinkles out if you will, This is why the full release date is being postponed. They know the issues, so now they are implementing the fixes! They will not release them until they are perfect!
when u have the D5S HID 55W ???
We have all D5S color and all power options on our website here: headlightrevolution.com/d5s-morimoto-xb-hid-bulbs/
Forgot about a line of clips that grab on to the fender that are very fragile, just snapped 3 of them 😬
Sorry to hear that man, looks like we didn't run into those so they must have been different on your model? Sorry that they broke on you though!
How did you get the wire out of the fuse box? Thanks
In my personal experience, it is best to simply notch the fuse box where the wire exits, that way the cover won't accidentally pinch the wire off. I would recommend that, but you could also just carefully route the wire out of one of the sides, just a little higher chance of pinching that wire over time.
@@HeadlightRevolution Thanks!
Not a problem!👍
Do they come without amber reflectors???
Only with the amber sorry.
How do I adjust these up or down?
There is an adjustment screw on the back of the headlight, accessible under the hood!
Anyone else have their check engine light come on after putting these in. Mine just came on as soon as I installed them
We haven't received any reports of a check engine light coming on after installing these headlights yet. Have you ran the code to see what it's for yet by chance?
Do you sell these in good numbers?
They are fairly popular
For what these cost, Id rather see these Morimoto Led heads COMPARED to the OEM Led heads!!!
Todd Vernon the retrofit source has a comparison of all three options on there Chanel I believe
I have a set and my Anzo headlights with HIDS were brighter. The morimoto do look better but the light output is not better.
I could see how a high power HID kit in an Anzo headlight would be brighter, but how's that beam pattern? We were never happy with the beam pattern of the Anzo headlights - but the Morimoto ones are as good or better as any high-end OEM LED system.
While they are probably the best looking after market headlights out, the fact the leds are not replaceable are the reason I would not get these.
Honestly, that is a non issue! They come with a longer warranty then almost all LED bulbs, at 5 years, and if you have anything projectors go bad in that housing Morimoto will replace that for you entirely!
Isn’t this guy in the show hey Arnold
Go with the Anzo switchbacks. Way more reasonable in price. I bought mine for $450
Anzo lights have horrible Condensation issues, they are just fancy fish bowls. The Anzo headlights aren't even worth $450, at least with the Morimoto headlights you get your $1,500 worth! If they're too expensive for you, that's understandable, but even at a higher price point they are a better value than Anzo because they actually work. We sold Anzo for 4 months in 2018 and stopped because we had a high failure rate.
I agree , just read the reviews on Amazon on them , I'll pass ..@@HeadlightRevolution
Apples to Oranges comparison.
Reliability?
These housings will be very reliable, we stand behind Morimoto's products! :) Sweet STI by the way, I daily a 2005 myself!
Headlight Revolution that’s sick man! She was an amazing car, hawk eye, had to sell her this year was the saddest moment of my life lol traded her in for my daughter 😆 one day I’ll get another
Y’all never actually showed the new headlamp it’s self with the led headlights on just against the wall.
Skip to 9:10.
Talking about showing the truck coming towards the camera down the road or something or showing the front of the truck with them on.
I got the amber ones
Alex,
I am considering purchasing the amber ones as well. Would you mind sending me pictures of your truck with these installed?
@@jermaximus where am i sending em to?
Honestlh they look just like the pics you can find on google images
Alex Trainor if you can just email them to me. I would really appreciate maybe a quick video of them turned off, then turned on at night and during the day. Since I am kind of asking a lot of you I would be more than willing to send you maybe like $5-10 bucks for your time. I can send it via PayPal, or Venmo whatever is easiest for you. Thanks man! Jermaximus@yahoo.com
@@jermaximus yea ill send you some ppl pics and a video. The amber drls are very bright. You can see them reflecting off exit signs on the freeway and sometimes it takes them 20 minutes to turn off due to the fuse they reccomend you tapping into. You also have to shave a little slot in the side of the fusebox for the wire to run into it, its not a big deal, just have the right tools when you do the install. Also, my drivers side sequential turn signal doesnt work anymore, its just a regular blink and i havent cared to try to fix it.
1500 lol
Cheaper than the OEM LED headlights, better looking and better performing. I don't see the problem.
Hey want to take your head lamps out no problem just pull the engine to get to these 30 10 mm bolts who designs this shit today we drive.
they aren't the friendliest things to work on nowadays, are they? haha.
🤢🤮
I much rather keep my stock headlights that design is not that appealing to me. But for those who has the halogen it is a alright upgrade
To much money for work truck
If it doesn't suit your needs thats fine! There are lots of other options.
When you say, "press on the center nub." That isn't helpful at all. What the heck are you talking about? I can't figure it out...
It's circled in orange at 3:19, there isn't really another name for it or anything.
This its copy of Anzo USA, but call Morimoto.
Anzo USA cost 500$ Morimoto 1500$. Good luck to sell this to Ford guys.
I bought em' Enzo shit does not last... I've used morimoto and their quality speaks for the price Tag. I'm not putting cheap $400 headlights on my $50K truck. To each his own.
Morimoto quality is 10x that of anzo. I own both
I have the Anzo switchbacks they're not even close. First off you have no led's in the Anzos. You even get a notice that putting anything but Halogens in them voids their warranty.
Their projectors are pretty subpar to. I'm replacing mine with the Morimoto XB becuase of the poor light output I'm getting in the Anzos with a few different led bulbs I've tried.
Sucks to be broke
@@danielalford4475 lol
$1400 for headlight assemblies?...no. thats straight dumb
Not sure if you have checked out the OEM LED Headlight costs, but this will surely give you some perspective!😆 Link: www.google.com/shopping/product/1?q=ford+f-150+oem+led+headlight+housings&prds=epd:5852529792120726098,eto:5852529792120726098_0,pid:5852529792120726098,prmr:1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY9t-_uortAhVMwlkKHa5gBn4Q9pwGCAs
