Me encantaría que hicieras un video de todo lo que tú carro tiene en español. Me encanta ❤️

Do you recall which way you turned the 8mm screw to go Up/Down? The instructions say FA about this. I have been turning my V2's both ways and honestly they don't seem to move at all... the V1's were similarly a PoS in that regard.

[@ElPinche97]

From the back to the front I believe clockwise is to make it point down. And counter clockwise makes it point more up

[@marrionlaguisma3214]

Nicee thanks for the video reference icant imagine how this looks like in a coupe Si .

I currently have the V1's and got the V2's as free replacements so selling those now. I've heard that the V2's have a dimmer turn signal which is apparent here, would be good to show them with the low beams on too. The output does seems more evenly spread out on the V2, luckily I have the Diode Dynamics fogs to assist the V1. I did have adjustment issues with the first set I had so got those replaced and one of the left led is showing a purple hue now but it doesn't affect output. Otherwise it's been good for the two years I've had them, I also prefer the look of those ones. The V2's look like the 11th gen civics. Clean install and review though. Would be helpful to show a driving video at night as well.

[@ElPinche97]

@@alexl.102 the V2s output is way better than V1 I’ve tested them off camera. Idk why I forgot to record that when I had done it on my V1 review when I first got them haha. The turn signals on the V2 are present and noticeable but V1 has them pop more, especially with the thicker LED bar. I have no issues with my V1s I love them. I just aimed them a bit higher for night time and I get flashed sometimes but I can see perfectly

[@alexl.102]

@@ElPinche97 I also did notice that the V2's have the nice colorband at the top of the cutoff compared to the V1's which were definitely missing it. How have they been for her so far?

[@misrble]

v1 look so sick

[@swilliams23]

The V1s have a diffused DRL, that’s why it’s “foggy”. Tbh if the V1s were still made I’d get em. V2s are clean though

[@misrble]

v1 are unavailable now? 😢

[@nicksinchi2289]

So there’s no way of getting the animation to work at night? Even when you unlock your car with remote?

[@ElPinche97]

Yeah we’ve tried everything and even making it be on just the parking lights not on Auto, and the animation won’t go. It’s weird. The DRL bar does the animation at night but the jewels do not , it gets canceled out due to it being night

[@nicksinchi2289]

@@ElPinche97 thanks man I really appreciate it

[@duketogo666]

What's your opinion on turn signal brightness between V1 and V2. I have both and the V1 lights the road ahead when you signal. The V2 I can't even tell they are flashing ( as the driver )

[@duketogo666]

ah yeah 24:20 ... V1 is WAY brighter...

[@ElPinche97]

@@duketogo666yeah V1 is way brighter, even in the sun mine are still brighter. The v2 you can barely see them in direct sunlight

[@misrble]

is it true that on V2 you can switch the daytime light from white LED to amber?? if so it would be cool if you can show that also

[@ElPinche97]

You can but not like at ease of a switch. You’d have to change that colored connector every time as I showed during the install.

[@P.D8249]

Just installed mine yesterday. It was hyperflashing on driver side. Any plug n play recommendation from you?

[@ElPinche97]

@@P.D8249 I have heard some people tell me about hyper flash and everyone so far has contacted Morimoto for replacements. I know I had an issue with my V1s when I first got them and they sent out a replacement immediately.

[@P.D8249]

@@ElPinche97 got it. Bro bought a resistor and came in yesterday i wonder if its better to just hook that up or replace the whole light.

[@P.D8249]

Dont really wanna wait for the replacement at all. Just curious what color the turn signal is on the driver side do you know?

[@christopherramos3348]

Hey bro why does your sister stock headlight have a rainbow film over it ?

[@ElPinche97]

That’s an overlay vinyl from JetsVinyl. I had them on my stock headlights as well. Helps protect them plus adds a cool effect. But we went with PPF this time for the new ones

[@HondaRider4Lyfe]

i just got around to installing my v2's. everything works but im having an issue with the start up animation, only the LED strips work and regardless if its day or night they wont animate. what did morimoto tell you on how they are supposed to work?

[@ElPinche97]

You have to have your ebrake off, the light switch has to be on Auto, and it has to be during the day. That’s what they said. Because at night the animation gets canceled out to make the low beams turn on since it’s dark.

[@HondaRider4Lyfe]

@@ElPinche97 i must've done it wrong the first time when i installed them, retried that same method again since you mentioned it in the video and it worked lol kinda weird

[@ElPinche97]

@@HondaRider4Lyfeyeah weird I wish the animation also goes on at night haha oh well though they’re still sick AF

[@marrionlaguisma3214]

Maybe if you can make a video out of it 😂 how it looks like in your coupe just a quick swap borrow from the other car. 😂 .

[@Group_Anonymous]

the v1 diffused led is better, the v2 looks cheap
