2014+ T4R Tri-LED Projector / Sequential Headlights

We are confident they will easily out perform (Wider, brighter) the OE headlights with an HID or LED bulb in them (in fact, we're a little nervous about that - since we sell a lot of those PNP upgrades!)

They will be fully adjustable vertically and horizontally too. All of the Morimoto XB headlights are.

I think this will be the biggest question. Will the light output be better than someone sticking an HID bulb in our stock halogen projector. All indications are pointing to a no given the Morimoto's XB LED low beam projector's current performance. I'm assuming these headlights will be using the same unit?

If you're talking about the MLED projector, no, these are using completely different optics. They have 2 dedicated low beam projectors per headlight, and the inside one is a dedicated LED high beam projector.

The width of most of the XB headlights is a lot better than the MLED projectors on their own. In terms of intensity, well, thats TBD...but we'll make sure to do some good comparisons when something we can get our hands on more than just a prototype.

Sounds good. Can't wait to order them up when available
 
Would these also require holes to be drilled into the dust caps? I currently have your HID kit and like them, but would prefer to have a something that didn’t require the hole in the dust cap.
 
So any ideas on bulb longevity, replacement schedule, future costs and small parts availability post upgrade? Just started looking at the H11 HID / Extreme KIT for my runner. It's a much cheaper route than these, but I have to say, these look pretty darn good!

LED's are great for those that live in temperate climates.. but they still aren't the best for those that need the additional heat from OEM/halogen/HID setups to melt snow/ice from extended runs on the freeway during a storm.
 
i am definitely interested in a set. Saw these on TRS's IG page a few weeks ago. Cant wait to see these things installed.

If this is the case what about vehicles that are coming factory with LEDs? What do they do differently?

If I can brainstorm out loud, I assume the Acura rl/mdx/rdx and the likes all have headlight washers
Chances are, not many are on the road during snow storms.
Mostly leases too (maybe only 50% have snow tires), so if it's gunked up, they'll take whatever they have and start scraping the shit out of them. Next guy's problem.

Okay but imports aren't the only ones coming with LEDs now days. Look at your GMC/Chevy trucks, Tacomas, Tundras and many more I'm missing as well. No of these come with washers of any kind.
 
Depending on timing, I would definitely be down for getting in the group buy, assuming I don't glance over it (like I usually do)

We started using LED lights in our snowplows in our fleet a couple years ago, and ran into that very problem... not warm enough to melt the snow and ice. But recently the industry is developing heated LED bulbs for that very application. I'd be surprised if that isn't what is coming from the factory on the stock LED light systems.
I'd further suggest that washer systems aren't going to work unless they're heated as well.

Morimoto is the brand, they're produced in Taiwan. TRS will have them too...but we'll be the first to get em in the States!

Interesting... Give that final product very close scrutiny, in fact I'd run them through a winter where the facia / lexan is getting pelted with typical winter debris, also see how they stand up against 100deg sun, harsh UV exposure. Compare the thickness of the plastic in the final product, how optical clarity is maintained.

I'm hopeful too but have seen so much out of Taiwan or elsewhere that sure look like OEM Porsche, BMW, Mercedes lighting (typically products that make your older gen model look current) which quickly yellow in the sun, have poor UV coating that fades colour even chrome, poor alignment of LED's or the illumination is only good at one angle, and lexan / plastic whatever that just can't cope beyond the showroom with typical temperature extremes (sealing issues, spider cracking etc).

Won't be an early adopter but it has my attention for sure, wishing / hoping for the best! :thanks:

By the way - are you maintaining distribution in Canada as well on your product line or is it all going to the US? Cause typically - I'm sure you know, we get killed with additional import fees never mind the current exchange rate :yell:
