I just bought a set of these along with the turn signals. Behind the assembly is pretty tight, I’m pretty sure they’ll fit behind the assembly but I’m scared they won’t. Man I hope they do!!

Is yellow or amber better to use on clear weather too? Do you know if the 2023 glb 250 the bulbs can be changed i believe they might be led oem thanks

Yellow or amber lighting can be beneficial in clear weather, although their advantages are more pronounced in conditions with reduced visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow. These colors improve contrast and reduce glare, which can enhance overall visibility and safety. In clear weather, white light is generally more common and provides excellent illumination for most driving conditions. Regarding the 2023 GLB 250, if the vehicle is equipped with OEM LED headlights, the bulbs are typically integrated into the housing and cannot be replaced like traditional halogen or HID bulbs. For exact details, it’s best to consult the owner’s manual or reach out to a dealer for confirmation.

is it possible to add color to the projectors
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 5 күн бұрын
It's not possible to add color to the projector etching itself, but you can achieve a vibrant and customizable color effect using demon eyes. Demon eyes are small RGB LED modules that are installed inside the projector housing, illuminating the lens with different colors while the headlight is off or in a show mode. For a detailed guide on demon eyes, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/envdkI2CZah4q8U

OEM Headlights will either be sealed with butyl or permaseal, typically 2015+ will be permaseal and much harder to deal with than older, traditional butyl.

You have a couple of solid upgrade paths depending on what you're hoping to achieve. If you're interested in something unique and custom, a retrofit could be an exciting route, allowing you to personalize your setup. Retrofitting, however, can be a bit more complex when working with sealed beam headlights, and the options largely depend on how much space you have available behind the headlight. On the other hand, if you're looking for a straightforward upgrade, there are many 7" round headlights on the market that could fit well with minimal hassle. Most of these headlights use H4 connectors, so if your current setup uses 9004, an adapter from 9004 to H4 can make the switch easy. Feel free to let us know which direction you're leaning towards, and we'd be happy to discuss further details or guide you on the best option for your goals. You can always reach us at [email protected] for more advice.

Thanks for replying to my question and solidifying my choice. Im going to replace my plate lights and all my interior lights as they are running off the yellow standard lighting.

The issue I have with the aftermarket headlights I’ve tried is due to the fact I have a lifted Jeep. In order to aim my low beams and not blind anyone the high beams just can’t get high enough and down range. Do any headlights solve this issue?

If you're aiming down to accommodate a light, unfortunately there's not much you can do besides adding additional aux lighting (which can be used with high beams if no other traffic is around) - ditch lights, roof lights, extra bumper lights, etc

Nice review bro.How much lux would a morimoto d2s 6000k produce ?
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 21 күн бұрын
The Morimoto D2S 6000K HID bulbs are estimated to produce approximately 3,200 lumens of light output. However, the lux measurement, which indicates the intensity of light on a specific area, depends on various factors such as the design of your vehicle's headlight housing, the projector's efficiency, and the aiming of the headlights. Therefore, without specific testing in your vehicle's setup, it's challenging to provide an exact lux value for these bulbs.

maybe a strange question but on a 35 watt ballast, a 50 watt d3s xenon can be connected. Does this have consequences?
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 28 күн бұрын
The 35-watt ballast won’t supply the full power that a 50-watt bulb needs, meaning the bulb won’t reach its optimal brightness. As a result, you might see weaker light output, as the bulb won’t achieve the intensity it would with a compatible 50-watt ballast.

So, if I go with the yellow, does it make sense to use the NCS over the HXB since there is transmission loss in the lens with the HXB? Put another way, if I go with HXB yellow, am I paying more and getting less?
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 28 күн бұрын
If you choose yellow, it indeed makes sense to consider the NCS over the HXB for the 4Banger Pods. Since HXB modules are more intense, they’re optimized for clear lenses where light transmission is at its highest. However, with yellow lenses, there's often a slight transmission loss, which can reduce the brightness advantage of the HXB. In simpler terms, yes, by choosing the HXB with yellow lenses, you might be paying for extra intensity that’s diminished by the lens. The NCS, which offers ample brightness for most applications and typically costs less, could give you the best balance of performance and value in yellow.
@SuperSnallygaster

For a D2S retrofit you'll need a pair of D2S Bi-Xenon Projectors, Shrouds, HID D2S Ballasts + Ignitor, D2S Bulbs, and an H4 HD Relay Harness! You can find our HID retrofit kits here: www.morimotohid.com/projector-retrofit/kits/custitem_cat_facet_projector_type/HID

All the issues of Chinese made replacement lenses for stock Corvette headlights now you turn around you buy a set of headlights for $1500 for a mama Lido or whatever the hell they call themselves and you think that the lenses they put on there were any better made in the same place china! The next issue is when pots go to bed and those fancy headlights you can’t get replacement parts. We are going to find those LEDs forget about it you’ll be up a chickens ass looking for a chicken salad sandwich. You’re better off just buying a set a good lenses for your stock. Headlights are replacing him for a fraction of the price I believe the stock headlights look 100% better anyway.

The bulbs in the Morimoto XB LED Headlights are not replaceable. If one of the LEDs goes out, the entire headlight unit would need to be replaced. However, Morimoto's XB LED Headlights come with a 5-year warranty, so any defects or issues within that period are covered by the company.

Hey man I have the same car and I’m wondering how do you turn those bottom fog lights on?
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource Ай бұрын
To turn on the lower fog lights on a Honda Fit, first, make sure the ignition is in the "On" position. Then, turn on your headlights by rotating the headlight switch to either the "Parking Lights" or "Low Beam" setting, as the fog lights typically only work when the headlights are on. Next, locate the fog light switch, which is usually on the left side of the steering wheel or integrated into the headlight control stalk. If it's on the stalk, twist the inner ring to the fog light symbol. Once activated, a fog light indicator will appear on your dashboard, confirming that the fog lights are on. Remember, it's best to use fog lights only in low-visibility conditions like fog, heavy rain, or snow to avoid distracting other drivers.
