See this is exactly why I love you guys. What amazing lights and output! While the stock lights of course have that classic appearance, the Morimotos just blow it out of the water in an absolutely perfect appearance and upgrade to a modern look without looking cheap or riced out. Amazing! Still blows me away coming from the 2000s with the "altezza lights" lol.
Altezza's were all the rage back then! We're in a great time period right now with all the aftermarket lighting options. Just need to sift through the BS sometimes. One thing is for sure, you can always count on Morimoto XB's to deliver!
🔥🔥🔥As always, a phenomenal and high production quality review!!! Thank you for the tremendous value you add to the car enthusiast community, and trusted advisor you are for me. Thank you for transforming my car! ❤
@@LightwerkzGlobal Will do! I remember you guys when you first started on the STi forums, that was almost 20 years ago I think. Awesome to see you're still around and doing good!
Been hearing a lot of feedback saying these lights will throw a code (802C and 802D) on 997.1’s. 997.1’s also experiencing flickering high beam and low beams not working at all. I know you have a .2 gt3 but did you have any codes thrown? Thanks! Update: codes are from poor alternator or battery health which affects the voltage detected by the included black box. You can circumvent this issue by tapping the DRLs directly into your fuse box.
The users having trouble are the ones with thew adaptive headlights. No codes will be displayed when coming from the single xenon headlights since they are not adaptive. Morimoto should be releasing some detailed information on exactly how to program the vehicle so there are no codes present once the installation is complete.
@@LightwerkzGlobal there’s been group and forum members with 997.1’s without the adaptive headlights that are throwing codes (802D 802C) as well with low beam not working at all and high beam flickering.
Personally, I’d spend the money on repainting that sand-blasted front clip and getting it PPF’d. 997.2 was peak GT3 - the drive and for me, the looks too.
Would be ideal! But it's not realistic. I don't know of any aftermarket adaptive assemblies for any model. But we offer projector retrofits on the adaptive 997.2 lights. Can offer painted internals also. Best of both worlds if you want a more aggressive look without any compromises!
I doubt you have any loose connections. Looks like it could be a power supply issue or a weak ground perhaps. Hard to say. Are you running the wiring to the internal fuse box for the DRL?
@@LightwerkzGlobal I have everything connected as instructed in the Morimoto install video. If it was my alternator or battery wouldn’t both sides flicker? I do think I have seen the interior dome light brighten and dim when the door is open but not sure if it is related..
hi i had these light for about 4 months now and their are 2 problems with them i installed them on my 997 turbo and the extra wire you extend from the battery to the light seems to still use the battery even when the car is off which led to my cars battery running out and the second problem is the daylight function seems to not work always it turns on and off by itself and sometimes not even working.
@@LightwerkzGlobalhi could you please send a video tutorial because the video I watched was from morimoto and i did the exact same thing they did but your way is different because i need to place the extra wires directly to the inner fuse box while i have no clue on how to do it. Thank you

They should really do an adaptive light. That would be the ticket!

Our pleasure, thank you for giving us the opportunity!
wow I forgot about Lightwerkz, you guys did my angel eyes on my E46 M3 almost 15+ years ago.
We're still here!
I bought them yesterday and can’t wait to put them in
Great review. Very thorough.
I'll definitely be picking these up once I get my 997 Turbo here in a couple months, thanks for the video!
Please contact us when ready, we can offer the best pricing directly!
@@LightwerkzGlobal Will do! I remember you guys when you first started on the STi forums, that was almost 20 years ago I think. Awesome to see you're still around and doing good!
Thank you so much for your review. I needed this
You're welcome, I hope you consider purchasing from us if you need a set. Thanks!
Not sure if its my monitor but they kind of remind me with the Audi Monsoon Grey you go with some of your builds - looks great!
Yes, very similar! Good eye.

@@YumboYack2521 Sorry wish I could help out further. We experienced no issues relating to any errors being displayed.
@@LightwerkzGlobal no worries, thanks for looking into it
These are amazing! Where can you buy these and how much are they?
What dog lights did you use?
I’d love to put these on my 997

997.2 was peak GT3 - the drive and for me, the looks too.
Coincidentally, the customer just stopped by a few days ago. The whole front end was repainted and the car had PPF. It was mint!
Nice review
Damn those beams are bright asf
They really need to make an adaptive set for the 997 platform

My DRL for my passenger side light has a flicker when the low beam is on. It isn’t consistent. Do you know why this could happen?

Do they have similar lights for the 987.2 cayman and boxster?
Morimoto does not offer them at this time. Sorry.
8:44 that 997 had the morimoto side lights, do you have a review on them??
Sorry we do not have a review on the side markers. They are plug and play and easy to install though.
I was looking on how they look and if they blink with the turn signal
@@rodoneltroche-sx1en Yes they blink with the turn signal.

Run the wiring directly to interior fuse box for switched power source. This is the way.

Email me sales@lightwerkz.net - I can send you some pics @@damnedgamer3935
@@LightwerkzGlobali just did thank you very much sir

@@LightwerkzGlobal thank you
Do these lights have auto leveling?
