My Unsatisfactory Experience With Morimoto XB Headlights.

[PD1744]

Lets see the pics of the broken parts etc and the swap out process!! Before you ship it back, lol

I'll do what I can.

Just for you @CoronaRaptor

Dicked up cutoff. This is actually best case. Was way worse before I adjusted it and doesn’t look that terrible projected on the wall but is way worse shining on the road.



Swap out process. Fortunately these are probably the easiest headlights I’ve ever yanked from a vehicle.

First pull out this push-pin in the splash shield. Phillips screwdriver helps.




Remove 3 bolts holding the headlight. One pointed to here on the side and the two circled up top. M10 socket. Then yank the light straight out. There’s a clip and locating boss going into the fender.



Unclip the connectors. Reverse to install.

Picture of my cloudy jewel/lens:






Four connectors. Headlights, turn-signal, marker, DRL. The unplugged one changes the turn signal to sequential when unplugged.




Current cutoff after some adjustment:




Adjustment screws on the back of the housing. The one I’m pointing to is vertical low-beam and can be accessed from above with a Phillips while they’re installed, but it sucks. Slow adjustment and can chew up the plastic. This is likely the only one you’ll need to play with. M8 socket.



Hope that helps.

DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER EVER TEACH YOU TO NOT POINT WITH THAT FINGER!!!!

It took me a year to get one of my foster kids to stop doing that when he first came with me! He was only 2 1/2 though.

It took you that long to figure out that duct tape is the stuff? I guess the knowledge must have come in handy when you started putting together your "hospitality kit".

Yes, you learn the hard way some times. The little guy was the first person I ever saw that pointed that way naturally. The other one that was tough to correct was ONE TIME I forgot he was in the back seat and I yelled, "******* *******!" at someone while driving. It was brutal to get him to stop repeating it. It's kind of funny coming from a little 3 year old, but I blamed it on his birth parents when he said it in daycare. It's like a "get out of jail free" card for a few years when they did stuff wrong in school.

LOL Rumor has it that my Dad had to clean up his language after I made the appropriate sounds when someone cut my Mom off in traffic. I was too young to remember but Mom never let Dad forget it.

Oh yeah, kids are little sponges! I knew it was really in his head when I had him down in the city when he was about 4 and I drove by a guy who was next to his car with the alarm going off. My, by then adopted son, says "Turn off the alarm you ******* *******!". Once I got done holding my breath so I wasn't laughing, I had to tell him that wasn't nice.

New issue with the 4th, yes FOURTH, driver side headlight assembly. Now my driver side C-Light/DRL does not power on with the marker light, like it does on the passenger side:



When the vehicle is on, it operates as it should. Reached out to Morimoto and yes, they will replace it if I send them back or if I put a $700 deposit down. Not happy about that. Also, they no longer offer headlights with the smoked side markers like mine, which I really like, and I can only get amber, which is why I'll have to swap out the pair. Ugh.

Sucks. Could you do me a favor and modify the title of your thread. It makes it sound like we did something wrong When you've admitted we didn't.

Deposits are required, it ensures they get their product back is all. You sure it's not just a loose wire or something cut?
