    Started a retro debating between the 4tlr and 7.0. Ended up doing a quad with the 7.0 and 4.0. If I could fit the 4.0 on any vehicle I owned...I would. To see in person, it is just amazing. Thanks for this comparison guys!

      ART CORE that’s why I filed some of the shield away to reduce the uptick. Then I added a gradual uptick on the outsides to help with the cornering and now it’s perfect! The D2S 4.0 is AWESOME! Easily out performs the base LED headlights on the 2017 RX350 & 2018 530i.

    Hello, I have been thinking of trying something like this for awhile. Can you recommend a projector and the hids that would best fit a toyota rav4 2001, head lights along with fog lights if possible?. I would really appreciate it. I plan to buy brand new headlight housing as mine are just really old and have the yellow haze and some scratches on the plastic lens. I have never done anything like this before but I'm willing to try it out. I've just never done enough homework to see if I could get this done myself. Thank you much appreciated if you could reply.

      @RetrofitSource  6 років тому

      Slightly more overall light output, really. All in all the FX-R isn't very popular these days because of how much more work it takes to install, versus the marginal (if any) gains in performance. Something like the D2S 4.0 is easier to install and out-performs it too.

    That 4TLR took a fair bit of time to warm up..... this is something I was a little worried about switching to HID's. Is that just a trait for this particular setup or are all HID's prone to a warm up period before achieving peak brightness? The last HID's I installed were in 2008 and they needed warm up time as well..... I had hoped technology had gone far enough to get rid of the whole warm-up deal.

    • @RetrofitSource
      @RetrofitSource  5 років тому

      Certain ballasts take longer than others to warm up, but thats still a fact of life with all HID systems really. However, by the time you're out of the parking light, driveway, etc - you'll be at max intensity either way!

    How would the Morimoto mini H1s 7.0 compare with the Aharon mini H1s 6.1 from retrofitlab? What would be a better choice when considering performance/reliability?

    • @RetrofitSource
      @RetrofitSource  6 років тому

      The Aharon projectors from RFL are akin to the ACME Super projectors - which while are not bad, aren't anything special by today's standards either. The Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 is by far the most advanced both in terms of actual light output, but design & reliability. The solenoid & cutoff shield mechanism is the biggest upgrade, virtually impossible to get stuck in high bream , which is a very common problem with older designs including the "6.1" from RFL

      It would scatter light every which way. We see no real reason to completely remove the plate. If you're looking for a high beam only, you could permanently engage the solenoid for the "high beam mode".
