Exterior Lighting Upgrade - Headlights, Tail Lights, and Signals
A lot of people have been asking me recently about how to improve the lighting output on their car without switching to aftermarket headlights, and I just made a video with Morimoto where I switched to their aftermarket LED turn signals, reverse lights, and 5K headlight bulbs. Check it out!

LasFit LED conversion over any aftermarket bulb is the way to go, speaking from experience as I've done both. Additionally you get immediate on/off when using the flash function which is useless with HID bulbs.

The best upgrade is $100 Osram nexgen cool blue intense. The second best is the $50 morimoto bulbs. What aftermarket hid bulb did you try? No-name $25 amazon hid bulbs? |

I have both morimoto bulbs and osram bulbs in both of my cars and I know the morimoto is indeed a upgrade over factory Phillips bulbs. I'm just saying the video footage you showed at the end doesn't show much of a difference due to testing it in a well-lit garage parked so close to a wall. A true test would be the lights shining on a flat wall 20 feet away in a completely dark environment (no tables or benches obstructing the flat wall) or simply take the car for a drive on a dark back road with no street lights.

The LASFIT LED system is heads and tails above the Osram night breaker HID and Garax HID both with STi lenses everyone used to recommend when I began on the forums 7 years ago. So you just got told otherwise by someone with experience in both, while you never provided your experience with LED's that supposedly "never yield good results". I accept your apology for assuming I employ cheap parts as well. I wouldn't put your Morimoto junk in a golf cart.

I'm SOL on those - when you go to morimoto projectors - it's impossible to get the lockring and that LED bulb to work together... you'd need a way to seat the led bulb with the projector...
So I'd just go with an LED bulb projector combo as an entire unit: https://lightwerkz.net/collections/led-projectors Quote:
