Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 LED Low Beam Headlight Install

Here’s a night pic. It’s hard to gauge output since I don’t have a comparison. To my eyes they seem like a decent improvement over stock halogens. The Stop ahead sign is around 100 ft in front of me and the stop sign is approximately 200.

Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever designed this bulb must drive a 4Runner and be a mother-f'ing GENIUS. Just put them in and they line up perfectly so that the LED bulb is facing forward and all of the wiring and driver fits in the headlight housing.

I cannot fricken' believe that these bulbs do not come standard from the factory. This has got to be the easiest upgrade to my front lighting I have EVER DONE.

Forget about trying to find a better H11 bulb or messing with an HID kit and hooking up all the wiring (sorry, Xenon-Depot, OK, your kit does kick @$$), but WOW.

Hoping the the heat the LED does generate with the fan isn't more than the heat generated from an H11 55W bulb.

So nice. So nice.

The only thing I had to do was to remove Morimoto's yellow bulb seal and replace it with the bulb seal from the H11 bulb. Morimoto's was way to tight and I could not get the bulb to turn.

Can't wait until the sun sets to see them in action...
 
I've heard so many good things about these that they seem like a go-to LED low beam solution for 4Runners. Haven't combed the internet but haven't seen any heat or longevity issues either, just comments of being able to hear the fans? On my list of things to do unless they start being a problem somehow...
 
I just said F it and bought em! $120 is a easy decision with not much wallet impact if they don't work as advertised...but if they do....WELL HAPPY DAMN BEANS TO ME!!!
 
I just ordered and received these and will be installing them this weekend. Price was right and the installation seems to be straight forward. I’ll post back once I install them.
 
Anyone know if you need or have used the anti-flicker with these bulbs when installed as the drl or high beams

Do these have a weird cycle like some of the others led bulbs have when used as a drl

This setup looks really good among what's available today, however, I too am concerned a bit with the heat this generates. I see the heatsinks and fans, but all the heat (not really sure how much more than the halogen bulbs) will essentially be circulated inside a confined housing.

That's about the only thing holding me back since the price is right.
 
Not sure the pictures do it justice but they are much brighter than stock.

Inquiring mind would like to know as well. :playball:

I drove 2.5 hrs straight, car sat 8 hrs, then drove back. Did this 3 days straight. Noticed no issues. Two of these trips were in hot ass weather, the third was driving through that beer fart Michael. Drove for an hour straight Sun night and no issues noticed then.
 
Just scored these off a vendor on Ebay. Accepted a Best Offer of $114, used about $5 Ebay Bucks and checked out for $109 shipped.
 
Can we see the light output on a wall? I want to see the intensity of the squirrel spotters. I can already tell its a glare-fest for oncoming drivers but i would like to be proven wrong.

I'll try to get some tonight. I'm going to install the fogs later today.
