D2S 4.0 is the champ ! Easy to install , great distribution of light in low beam, tremendous high beam output , nice sharp cut off (almost totally lighted under the whole line ) . My favorite for sure .

ART CORE that’s why I filed some of the shield away to reduce the uptick. Then I added a gradual uptick on the outsides to help with the cornering and now it’s perfect! The D2S 4.0 is AWESOME! Easily out performs the base LED headlights on the 2017 RX350 & 2018 530i.

Slightly more overall light output, really. All in all the FX-R isn't very popular these days because of how much more work it takes to install, versus the marginal (if any) gains in performance. Something like the D2S 4.0 is easier to install and out-performs it too.

Can you recommend a projector and the hids that would best fit a toyota rav4 2001, head lights along with fog lights if possible?. I would really appreciate it. I plan to buy brand new headlight housing as mine are just really old and have the yellow haze and some scratches on the plastic lens. I have never done anything like this before but I'm willing to try it out. I've just never done enough homework to see if I could get this done myself. Thank you much appreciated if you could reply.

That 4TLR took a fair bit of time to warm up..... this is something I was a little worried about switching to HID's. Is that just a trait for this particular setup or are all HID's prone to a warm up period before achieving peak brightness? The last HID's I installed were in 2008 and they needed warm up time as well..... I had hoped technology had gone far enough to get rid of the whole warm-up deal.
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 5 жыл бұрын
Certain ballasts take longer than others to warm up, but thats still a fact of life with all HID systems really. However, by the time you're out of the parking light, driveway, etc - you'll be at max intensity either way!

How would the Morimoto mini H1s 7.0 compare with the Aharon mini H1s 6.1 from retrofitlab? What would be a better choice when considering performance/reliability?
@RetrofitSource
@RetrofitSource 6 жыл бұрын
The Aharon projectors from RFL are akin to the ACME Super projectors - which while are not bad, aren't anything special by today's standards either. The Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 is by far the most advanced both in terms of actual light output, but design & reliability. The solenoid & cutoff shield mechanism is the biggest upgrade, virtually impossible to get stuck in high bream , which is a very common problem with older designs including the "6.1" from RFL

I am running a mini h1 7.0 with the xb55 ballasts. I bought before i heard people say the reflector bowl will deteriorate way faster. But there are guys saying it can handle that ballast. I mainly use my car on the weekends tho so i hope i can get some decent time out of them.

Suyog Singh Yes, HID and LED bulbs should go into projector housings only. I prefer to retrofit the low beam to projectors and use OPT 7 "X" bulbs (4200 lumens each) for high beam using stock reflectors for better spread since oncoming traffic will never see them.

I'm surprised this company still puts so much into HID technology but whatever sells, right? HID has moving parts inside that decrease in performance over time whereas LED stays consistent. **Check out MLED or i.Lens projectors.
