First, thanks for being honest about the yellow version being less bright than stock and showing that the lens defrosting feature doesn't work too well. A few things to note: - The lifetime warranty is a great idea long term. - I don't understand why the H4 still uses outdated ZES chips which create a poor beam pattern, when all the other sizes have the updated emitter. - One of the biggest reasons the lens defrosting doesn't work is because most headlights have an anti-glare cap installed in front of the low beam bulb, which redirects most of that warm air back at the reflector. For projectors the air simply blows into the splitter shield and the glass dome so it never really reaches the lens.
Thank you. This is exactly what happened to me. Everyone online touts these bulbs as being amazing but when I installed them I noticed almost no improvement in brightness or visibility. They were great bulbs in all other aspects but for $200+ I saw no discernible improvements. Maybe it was just me. I hope they work for everyone else.
Yep. Definitely better on the eyes. 5000K is pure white, not terrible on the eyes. The 4300 K is just a slight yellow, better for the eyes and has an easier time cutting through rain, dust, fog. I honestly think in my opinion that these two choices of the 4300 K (first choice) and 5000 K (second choice) color spectrum is best for driving. With less fatigue on the eyes for long distance night drives.
@@jadonboyce1503did you do a warranty claim? I had one that I thought weny out and they replaced it pretty easily. Turned out to be a vehicle issue and not a bulb issue though.
WTH? Years of waiting? Feels like the 3.0 was just released. I just got them, lol EDIT: after watching, a few subtle improvements, no need to upgrade from the 3.0.
@@PremiumUserUltra I’m very happy with the 3.0, they work well in my 2016 Ford Transit Connect and my Wife’s 2011 3-Series. I considered the Ultra 2 given their brightness but I’m glad I stuck with the 2 Stroke. I had the 2.0 in the BMW before and the beam pattern was only ok. The 3.0 sharpened the cutoff noticeably and allowed for proper aiming. The Ultra 2 being less precise than the 3.0 would likely have been just a brighter version of the inferior 2.0 beam pattern.
Just received the new 4.0's today, they warrantied my 3.0's because 1 failed after 2.2 year's of service. When you spend as much for these bulbs its nice to know a company will give you a good warranty period. I absolutely loved the 3.0's in my 07 Expedition as I live in a rural area and drive mainly in the dark.
I miss my 3.0s i installed into my 2018 Tacoma but the truck needed to go for something bigger to tow with. Now I have a 2017 F250 xl and just want to get the hole Morimoto replacement led assemblies.
@@wahidjavid51 did you install 2Strokes? They're meant to function better with DRL and not cause any flicker. I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe what you might need instead are 6 ohm resistors. I had an error message on my Honda without one. I think some more sophisticated systems (namely german cars) won't send power at all if they sense something is "wrong". Decoders are only for canbus I reckon, but I would just reach out to the pros and they'll get you sorted!
Initially, I must admit to feeling a bit let down upon discovering the absence of the locknut on the 9007 4.0 bulb, a feature you had demonstrated. I had assumed that all 4.0s came equipped with it but decided to proceed with the installation nonetheless. The output from the 2.0 left me disappointed; it was essentially subpar. I was particularly frustrated with the 3.0's mechanism for maintaining its position, despite its brighter light output. However, the 4.0 seems capable of securely holding its position, owing to significantly increased friction. Following your guidance, I ensured the orientation was vertical and then pulled out the bulb to ensure the projected light matched that of my original 9007 Ultra Bright Sylvania halogen bulbs. These bulbs function much like a Maglite, where, with a 9007 housing, they can dramatically alter light projection. It would indeed be fantastic if they could incorporate a locking mechanism, as demonstrated in your video. This would represent a significant design enhancement for the 5.0. Only time will tell, especially given that this truck sees some off-road action, and the roads in California are less than ideal. With the prevalence of heavy vehicles like the 6k-lbTeslas on the road, the conditions tend to deteriorate quickly, especially after rainfall. Here's hoping the 4.0 holds its position under such circumstances.
Can you please do a per-bulb-type comparison? (D2x in reflector, projector, etc config) Can you also do a series on compatibilities between things like H7 and D2x, 9006 and HB3, etc etc?
Nice, after I just recently bought the 3.0 yellow, a new bulb comes out. I hate that these companies never update or notify the community of new products that are upcoming. I certainly would've waited for these. But its whatever, the 3.0s are doing fine for now and not looking to upgrade anytime soon.
I need to see a test of ALLA lighting LED switch back bulbs vs lastfit LED switch back bulbs or any other driving led bulbs with switch back built into it to see who makes the best one
Yellow LED bulbs are not the same yellow as a halogen and its light at different wave lengths so actually LED lights dont cut through fog better than halogens. I love me LED's I have yellow GTR Lighting 2.0 fog lamp bulbs and xenon headlights. The yellow looks cool, but doesnt help me one bit in the fog.
Auxbeam gx or auxbeamf22 are brighter than any morimotos or gtr leds . These brands just to expensive and focus on beam pattern rather than brightness i bought morimotos and than bought auxbeam night and day difference and quarter of the price. Auxbeam is the way to go
any chance they will be adding HB3 and HB4 to the line up? one would think they would have them with how popular the LC100 is, still tonnes of them being driven.
Depending on the year/make/model, we may be able to confirm for you. The general rule is - Do I need PWM / Anti-Flicker Modules? When using in Fog Lights: Unlikely With low beams that double as Daytime Running Light: Likely With high beams that double as Daytime Running Light: Likely When the vehicle is late model American (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ford, GM): Likely
Stupid question but what is the advantage of the full LED assembly replacement VS just changing the bulbs? I have a 2023 RAM 1500 classic with the projector headlight option, would i have to change the entire assembly to see REAL improvements?
Both options are good, but it depends on your goals and budget. A full LED headlight assembly is optimized for performance, giving you the best possible brightness, beam pattern, and focus. However, upgrading to LED bulbs can still be a great, budget-friendly improvement over OEM and will definitely enhance your visibility. If you’re looking for maximum performance, go for the full assembly, but LED bulbs are a solid upgrade if you're looking to improve without breaking the bank.
@HeadlightRevolution. Am I understanding correctly from the above output stats of the Morimoto 2stroke 3.0 that the Reflector Headlight measured at 740 Max Lux Low Beam (40% Brighter) and at the 7:40 time stamp mark the narrators said that after 15 minutes it measured at the same 740 Max Lux Low Beam (40% Brighter)? So there is no loss of output after 15 minutes with the Morimoto 2stroke 3.0?
What do you think about those fanless led bulbs? My fog lights assembly doesn’t have any covers so it wont work with a fan or anything dangling around the back housing.
@@HeadlightRevolutionHello, I was also wondering what the differnt was between the GTR lighting ultra 2.0 high beams vs fog lights? I want to get new headlights for my low beams since one of my LED’s is about to burn out. Please let me know if the fog light or the high beam for the GTR Ultra 2.0 which one is more suitable for the low beams? Also the same goes for the Marimoto 4.0’s? Fog light vs high beam, which one will better suit the low beam?
Drive a wrangler and have the sv4 and im blinding people (yes i adjusted them) im wondering if these are not as bright as the sv4 i need something just a tad brighter than stock will these work?
I got a Toyota 05 Tacoma I need to know about some of the fog lights and bright headlights low in them please tell me the best ones to buy for my fog lights and my headlights please show me send me a link thank you have a good day sir
In the EU, factory-installed LED headlights are legal. However, aftermarket LED bulbs in non-LED headlamps are generally illegal unless they are ECE approved. Look for the "E" marking for road legality.
If we consider the yellow color, then you're asking to buy a bulb that is less bright than the stock bulb, with the fact that it is more expensive than the stock bulb How does this work??
@@HeadlightRevolution I purchased 4.0 from you as the link directed me there. It is significantly dimmer than gtr and sv.4 but color temperature of morimoto is perfect. Also, there are black spots on morimoto but not GTR and SV.4. The GTR and SV.4 are bright but put strain on eyes and bright white color 6000k is not optimal. Is there any led bulb with around 5000K but bright?
It's worth noting that they ditched the DRL function that the 3.0s had... That was my top reason for buying the 2strokes, I'm really disappointed. The 3.0s don't fit my headlights because of the horrendous adjustment system, but I'm tempted to try to make them work now. The 4.0s are overall a downgrade
Lifetime warranty = lifetime replacements, regardless if it lasts 3 years or 6! The older 2stroke LED bulbs did not have a lifetime warranty, only a limited time-based warranty.
Great videos, BUT... This is America, can you quit using meters please!? Unless you know something the rest of us don't, (veterans and military) that there is infact a NWO, get back to standard! I'm so sick of metric! Thank you and keep on making the videos guys! Respectfully submitted, Gunny GySgt USMC
I understand your concern! While they might not seem as bright in certain conditions, these headlights are designed for optimal performance and balanced overall usage. Their focus is on providing consistent visibility and safety across different driving environments.
We've tested and verified that these do increase in lux over time. We do testing after 15 minutes and use and have found an increase in almost every application.
yea and it can also change with power supply each time, sure it reads the same but its never truly the same, also the same with using a car battery@@HeadlightRevolution
Btw , comparing the 3.0 to the 4.0 , the new 4.0 housing is alot smaller than on the 3.0 . This is on a 9008 or a H13 bulb . Ya'll try em out, they are great bulbs.
