Has anyone gotten them to replace their gen 1 with a gen 2 via warranty?

Do the DRLs stay on all of the time or will they go out when you switch your headlights off?

Been a couple weeks. Any opinions?
Anyone else dive into this yet. I can't believe they redeveloped and didnt fix a damn thing. Maybe they figured a new label will clear out the excess stock

I'm pretty sure the DRL is wired to something like your injector fuse so that it comes on whenever the key is in the on position. Independent of the headlights.

Hate to revive this thread but question for anyone running the gen 2. Has anyone had the issue with the DRL running out like the gen 1 did? Or is it looking like they fixed it? I want to order a set of these soon and that's my biggest concern.

I purchase the gen2 and though it looks great on the car, but it’s been a nightmare. I followed the instruction exactly. Was not hard at all and simple including putting the DRL into the heated side mirror slot in the fuse box. Upon initial start up of my car to test out the head light the battery light, ABS, traction control, multi terrain, air bag light all came on including the parking brake light when the parking brake wasn’t even engage. 15 mins later the instrument controls and head unit and all the lights went dead but car was still running. Turned off the engine and tried to turn it back on and the battery is completely dead. Went out and bought a new battery and turn the car back on and still have the same issue. Quickly turned off the engine and swapped everything back to stock and still having the same issue. Now my rig is just sitting in my parking spot with the battery unplugged and not a clue where to start to troubleshoot. All the fuses I can check looks fine. Need help!!! Definitely should have went with the kustom54 or the alpharex nova. Waiting on Morimoto to reply back with technical support but I think these headlights has cause me a ton of money out of my pocket just to fix the issues it created after the install

Sad to say. changing out headlights wont result in so many issues. You shorted something somewhere during the install is the likely culprit.

check fuses and look for wiring connections that couldve come loose during install under the hood. I had a similar issue with dash lights and lost of power at one point, culprit was some wiring was chewed up by an animal. I had to solder the wires together and no issues since.

Thanks for the info the help. I figured everything out. I found a ground connection that I never really touched was loose. Tighten that up and that took care of the battery issue. Unfortunately because of it I had to buy a new battery. As for the ABS, traction control, and the multi terrain light, it was because I had the DRL fuse head plugged into the side heating mirror like the instruction and video said. Instead removed it and put it in the injector slot and now have no problem. The DRL isn’t working but it seems like a common problem with DRL harness they gave. Will contact Morimoto for technical support

I’ve had mine for over a couple of months now with no DRL issue at all. The only issue I’m having is the light beam would jump after going over shape bumps. I probably didn’t swirl it on tight enough?

Final update. After a nightmare of a start to the install and blown fuses and electrical shorts and and crap, I finally got everything working as advertise including the DRL. Headlight revolution install video on YouTube wants you to put the fuse tab in the side mirror head slot. I would not suggest that cause it cause a short on my rig and also caused the ABS, traction control, mulit terrain light all to come on including the airbag light. Stick with the Morimoto instruction by installing it in the INJ slot. If you have raptor lights in that slot you might want to relocate that to the side mirror heat slot instead and see if it works for you. The DRL harness I received upon further inspection of it had an actual pinch under the sleeve of the wire. I was able to repair it and put heat shrink wrap on it and it took car of the problem. Let see how these guys do from this point on.

Little update, got the gen 2 morimoto’s in a couple days ago. Install was an absolute breeze. Compared to my HID kit these are leaps and bounds better. I can only imagine the improvement over the stock headlights. So far everything is working smoothly and based on pics I’ve seen, and they definitely fixed the side output issue. So far very happy.

Like others have mentioned, keeping an eye on the potential DRL issue (top corners of DRL diodes burning out). I know me and a few others on here had that issue with the Gen. 1.

i have the gen 1 and my drl isnt burned out in stead flickers on and off, now both side does it plus the top corner and botom corner flicker up and down. Not even 1 yr old but started flickering on one side when it was 5 months

After slightly passing the year mark, the DRLs on my gen1s just started flickering on the driver's side. Passenger side top corner LED appears to be out. Called for warranty asking about gen2 availability and tech support said they will replace with gen2 units as I was going to buy the gen2s and sell the new replacement gen1 units if they weren't going that path. Will see what happens tomorrow.

For those who went from gen1 to gen2, did you reuse the gen1 DRL harness and kept it tapped into mirror heater fuse slot or did you all move it to the Injector slot?
