Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 - Halogen Projector H11 Testing Against S-V.4 & GTR Ultra2 

Out of all the best of the best automotive led lighting, morimoto is the best to mimic the original halogen headlight beam pattern. 😍

Great comparison as always. Not sure if you have one but you guys should put a database of all these combos on your website.

Lightwerkz Global should run this test with a clear lens swap for the H11 projectors.

Same projector used in the 2012 scion xb? Wasn't sure about an LED bulb so I just went with hid. Thanks for the video!

It would be great if you took a picture (not a frame grab from a video) of every test you run at the same settings so people could see the actual comparison with the same camera at the same exposure settings. You can see the device you are using dynamically adjusting it's exposure while you are filming and it makes it hard to truly tell whether one light is better than the next as the camera is constantly trying to hit proper exposure for the amount of light being presented. Start off with something like iso 100, f/4 or f/5.6 and 1/125th of a second, then just always use it. It would give everyone an even perspective of what different light provide when viewed the same way.

The problem with most led bulbs is they lack the hotspot of the halogen for down road visibility.... would be nice to see side by side comparisons with camera settings all the same... same f-stop, exposure and shutter speed so we can really compare the hot spot of the bulbs... thanks for the video.

Great Video! Im waiting for my 50w Sabor Pro LEDs to Fail. Cant wait lol

I love the video! Me personally I like how the GTR Ultra 2 is more broad and floody of a light profile, to me it just seems like all ya need to do is aim the light just oh so slightly up for that Hotspot.

Thanks

Sv4 and morimoto have a triangular dark spot in some projector headlight housing.

Can you do a review on the auxito y13 led bulb in a projector and a multi reflector housing. It’s a fairly cheap led bulb compared to the sv4 , morimoto and the gtr. But one of my buddies bought it for his Tacoma and it performes really good from just looking at it. But I’m curious on how it really performs. Thank you!!

Which of these do you think would work best in a Kia Niro with projectors?

Hmmm interesting findings. For those of you who have Toyota Tacoma's and factory OEM projectors, I would still HIGHLY recommend the GTR Ultra 2's. Have them in my brother's Taco and he didn't have any of the light distribution/color band loss that was shown here. He's pushing a year with owning them and they're still just as bright as when we installed them back in January of this year

Nice ! 😊

In that particular projector, I'd go with the sv4 or morimoto. The gtr hotspot seems way too low. I'd like to see how these bulbs perform in the alpharex pro series, as a lot of people remove the halogen bulbs and replace them with some sort of LED assembly.

The Morimoto is impressive! I installed the GTR Ultra on a halogen projector and I am extremely happy with the results! I am not blinding on coming traffic and is a vast improvement over halogen. If the Morimoto 3.0 had only came out a week earlier I would have definitely gone with the Morimoto 3.0 over the GTR Ultra.

I run gtr ultra 2's in a chevy ss going more than 85 most of the time. Glad to say that the visibility is impressive, reaction time greatly improved and happy with the purchase. IMO LED bulbs far outweigh filament bulbs in comparison. Filament bulbs always seem to burn out at the completely wrong time. Halogen or HID...

This video is amazing you should be making more testing and comparison video😃

Nice thing about the new Morimoto engineering is you should see stock beam pattern in all projectors and halogens whereas other LEDs it's really a Gamble if your light spread or beam pattern is going to be any good. Also I'm very surprised in all tests for Led headlight products there's never talk about how much lux is lost after the bulb comes up to temperature. Normally all LEDs will retain about 70 to 75% about put what's the temperature or about a 25 to 30% loss in brightness once at temperature. This is where HIDs and to still be better as they maintain LUX.

Best light for 2015 ford fusion se with halogen projector headlights? Have you done a review on the morimoto 2stroke 4.0?

Thoughts on direct replacement bulbs for a 2017 suburban that has halogen projectors?

The GTR Ultra 2.0 should do well in fog light applications since the beam pattern was more of a flood design... S-V.4 and the M 2Stroke 3.0 will be good for projector applications

Hid work better in projectors but if it’s a normal housing it’s better to go with LEDs

do w/HID bulb plz 35W and 55W, thx

I'd like to see the comparison with an H9 in the projector. The H9 is 65W vs. 55W for an H11, and the H9 is completely clear capsule vs. the H11 coated end to prevent oncoming glare in a reflector housing. It would be especially interesting to see an H9 Sylvania/Osram Silverstar which is at least 20% brighter than standard and a whiter color.

What would you recommend for 2020 chevy silverado 1500 ctb? I am torn between gtr, sv4 and lasfit. I have read that the sv4 tests really well. Don't want any flickering or a worry about the fans burning out or being flashed every day (stock set up) Any help is appreciated.

What do you recommend for a 2018 nissan maxima with halogen/projector housing for low beams and then for fog lights that will match perfectly?

I have a 2013 cadillac coupe with HID headlights and want to replace the fog lamp bulbs below it. colors yellow now and want to match the headlights. the fog lamp lense looks like a projector. what should I go with for the fog lamps. thank you

I have the anzo H7 headlights on my 16 f150 which of the three bulbs would be better for me

Does Morimoto make a complementary retrofit projector for any their LED bulbs that can head to head against their own M.2 bi-LED unit?

In morimoto bulb try to rotate the base 180 degree maybe it will fix the alignment of hotspot

I have a Mazda 6 with a H11 projector - which bulbs would be best for perfect lighting?

Hi, I usually purchase my hid & led products from you. Which would you recommend for a 2013 gl450 ? I believe they use the regular Hella projectors for their halogen bulbs. On my 12 gl450 I swapped the projectors to the evox-r 2.0 with hid, but don't want to do thst much work

I just bought a 2016 honda accord ex-L sedan. what would recommend for low beam, Mori2stroke or HID. and what size rubber housing extensions would I need? thank you for your time

In the market for new headlights on a 2018 Dodge Durango. Do I need an anti flicker and is it better to go with the GTRs because of their warranty?

That SV4 may have been the best in that projector. Morimoto was a little brighter, but not as clean.

Question: The s.v4 can’t be used as low beam in the US? Is that why on the website its listed as fog light? Im curious why in the comments i see ppl buying the low/high beam sv4 & ultra 2s

Which of these leds best fit a 2016 pilot with projectors.

Would you recommend these LED's for 2012 BMW Z4?

I am very interested in the fan system cooling these lights. I have GTR2 Ultras, their fans work for 4-6 months then start to make so much noise I am sure they are about to fail.

Would these in H7 be good as a DRL / Highbeam installed on a 2016 Elantra GT ? ( It’s a reflector Highbeam) Low Beam Projector. Or do you need to buy extra drivers ?

What do you recommend for projector headlights that only use one high and low bulb? I have a 2007 GMC Sierra

Nice vid. How bout these three in a reflector housing?

Lightwerkz Global,pls make a review on the morimoto d2s 5.0 HID projector swap with the morimoto d2s led.

I had GTR ultra 2.0 in my 2020 Nissan Rogue sport it has halogen projector. Basically my car came with yellow factory bulbs. When I put the GTR ultra 2.0 in I couldn’t hardly see anything on the road. The LED chips faced side to side ( 3 and 9 ) but I couldn’t see far down the road at night. Is there anyway you could demo 2020 Nissan Rogue sport projectors and those 3 LEDS? Please I’m trying to find something descent. I do al lot of driving late night so I need to see good at night. I would like to see the morimoto and sv4 especially. Thanks

these are interesting results but i am curious how these would fair in a reflector housing for a foglight replacement?

What would u recommend for aftermarket projectors on mercedes they the depo headlights hid or morimoto 3.0 2stroke? I have the gtr ultra now is good but not as bright as I expected them to be for their price?

Can anyone help ? What bulb size for 21 taco off road with projectors

Have a 2012 Chrysler 300, what do you recommend?

IPF XX producing 5600 lumens in pair bulbs. And Light output is 2.5 times bigger than all your bulb in bunch

@LightwerkzGlobal do you know by chance what brand projector General Motors uses?

What would you recommend for 15 impala Thankyou

How far was these tested? LED in a h11 projector starts to flare out, causing more foreground light than distance light, to be fair, their more common in h11 projectors. Thats an issue HR makes, they advertise their own brand (sv4 & ultra 2) and test them at a close range, thus not showing the bulbs full potential or truth.

Which is best for reflector headlights?

Try f3 or F5 led headlight. Cheap and bright

What is the lux numbers of each ?

HID works in these projectors

so out of three, new 2 stroke 3.0 will be the best option?

Try that test again in a reflector headlight. GTR ultra 2 blows away morimoto.

They are not made for led makes light very dim

That first Halogen of your looked awfully white. Not convinced enough that its actually halogen and not LED.

wait so none of them are even legal ? are all the people using these just braking the law no questions asked?

Its unfortunate that different tests for the same brands, get entirely different results. For example: GtR and Morimoto 3.0 . Another channel on YT( car light reviews) had the best results with GTR, followed by Morimoto . This negates the findings and see who did the most accurate testing, including evaluation of voltage drop off, lux, lumens , construction quality, adjustability for 3 and 9 positioning, fan design , kelvin color, and warranty length. This test, no offense, was of little to no help. Perhaps a more detailed breakdown and details on the installation would get more accurate and trustworthy.
