The more I watch you the more I appreciate your thoroughness

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

Thanks!

Great video! I just swapped the bi-xenon’s out of my 2021 Trailhawk for the Morimoto xb. I measured out roughly twice the lux value with Morimotos. There’s lots of dark hours where I live, and I consider it money well spent.

[@kennethjackson6811]

Even though I don't own this car, this was enjoyable to watch and I appreciate your overall video...

[@markbielawski]

Phenomenal difference! I swapped out the halogen bulbs from the projectors on our Mazda 3 for some Morimoto H11 HID bulbs with 35W ballasts, and there is no comparison. But those LED housings are out of this world. 👍

Love these headlights, great video

[@HITMAN-he9ws]

I intalls this a year ago on my jeep GC, and it rock solid

[@Matty_mccfly]

That was my issue my cbb after being little over 2 years old dimmed fast went with led nhk m1 I miss hid.

[@joebush3738]

Great Video!. So much I like about the Morimoto's Such a shame they didn't work out for me.

[@seanryan3025]

I was one of the people who bought a few different D3S bulbs attempting to get an LED look. Your description of how they fall short is spot on which was a lesson I learned the expensive way. In my other car I was able to use GTR Lighting LEDs in place of halogens (in the fog lights of course) and the light output is positively brilliant. I have no doubt the Morimoto housings you demo here are top notch automotive lighting. They just need to be aimed properly to minimize the impact to oncoming traffic. Would you please provide a link to the plastic Rexka rivets you used to secure the wheel arch liner? I can't seem to find them using the part number on the package.

Great and informative video. I may have missed it, but how does the LED lights handle the heavy snow. When I’ve had LED bulb replacements in the past, they wouldn’t melt the snow as it built up over the front of the headlights. Not enough heat I guess. Will these melt the snow?

[@hengzheng5892]

I guess the reason why you see higher lux reading on the right when you do your OEM HID light test, is because of the light interference from another side. Due to the shape of cut of line, your left beam test receive fewer glare from right beam but your right beam test received more glare from left beam...If you want to do a fair lux comparison, I'd suggest you to cover the other side completely, only let side you want to light on the wall.

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

At a distance of 25' there is not much overall with this type of beam spread. But you are correct, there is some. Bulbs, projectors, and lenses all wear differently over time. In this particular case the drivers side bulb was simply more worn out. Easy to tell with the color hue. Thanks for your feedback though. It is fair feedback and something I will consider.

[@Puddles1001]

Tested all HID bulbs on the driver side to retain consistency and prevent extra brightness from overlap, but then proceeds test the XBs on the passenger side with overlap 🤷

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

Fair point! Was not intentional. Should have tested both at the end. Sometimes you just run out of steam and clarity when you are not only the producer, but also the installer. When I get the Grand Cherokee back in the shop I will get more measurements for full clarity. There is a 5050 chance drivers side was even more intense than the passenger side. While there is overlap on the passenger side, the majority of the intensity zone is directly under the step of the cutoff. Anyhow, thanks for watching the full video and providing your feedback.

[@bosston4613]

I just had mine installed but I noticed the 3 led beams stay on even when I turn headlight switch off, did they plug the wire in the wrong fuse?

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

You need to go into the settings on your infotainment screen and turn off the DRL setting.

[@bosston4613]

@@LightwerkzGlobal that did the trick, thank you for the reply

[@jason-1015]

Do the automatic high beams still function with the morimoto?

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

Great question. I don't see why you would lose that function as its not integrated within the headlight assembly, rather by cameras / sensors that simply tell the high beams to kick on in auto mode.

[@jason-1015]

@@LightwerkzGlobal for $1800 id want to be damn sure of it though lol

[@MoparPentastar]

Is there a way to upgrade to 55 watt HIDs?

[@LightwerkzGlobal]

Probably. But the valeo projectors dont fare well in general. Boosting the wattage is only going to burn them up quicker.
