Hi what the kelvin ration for the Phillips bulbs
Philips Standard: 4300K Philips XV2: 4800K Philips WHV2: 5000K
Cool...
Good lights for sure
Doesnt look like these are available anymore ☹️ What's the new best H1 option?
The current XTR or XB HIDs would be our go-to: www.theretrofitsource.com/hid-lighting/h-series-bulbs/custitem_cat_facet_bulb_size/H1
@@RetrofitSource Interesting, I was about to go with the GTR ultras since they have a lifetime warranty, but I can't find any comparison with those. Any particular reason the other two would be the better choice, pairing with the Morimoto Mini H1 8.0?
The GTR Lighting HIDs are a great option as well, we'd recommend them alongside the XTRs or XB HIDs! Plus you can't beat a lifetime warranty.
Just get 6 sided leds
❌❌❌
Considering putting that on my 1999 Corolla 😃
We say, heck yeah! Do it! 💪🏻🔥
my car currently has 4300k d2s factory bulbs and I wanted to upgrade to pure white while keeping xenon, what is the best choice ? something 5000k and or 6000k ?
We'd recommend 5000K or 5500K for a true white color!
@@RetrofitSource what is the difference between osram cba vs. cbi ? they’re both rated 6000k. are they both pure white ?
I tried this and it worked perfect. What do you use for sealant when it comes to re-installtion?
Butyl! www.theretrofitsource.com/morimoto-retrorubber-butyl-glue-A-BUTYL
Can these micro d2s run on 55W kits safely?
We suggest 35W only for the Micro D2S Projectors.
Will it fit for 2013 honda civic coupe
These are custom retrofit headlights, so definitely possible to make them for your Civic as well!
What is that blue line effect that happens on projector retrofits?
The lens and the sharp edge of the cutoff shield cause light to bend and disperse, splitting into its constituent colors, similar to how a prism works. This phenomenon, known as chromatic aberration, occurs because different wavelengths (colors) of light bend by different amounts. Blue light bends more than red light, causing the blue hue to be visible at the top edge of the cutoff. While the blue line is primarily an optical artifact, it is often considered aesthetically pleasing and a sign of high-quality projector headlights.
@@RetrofitSource thank you very much for the explanation. I understand it now.
Great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!
Has anyone ever heard of heartray HId bulbs? Are they good? I have to used 2nd bulbs on my headlights and they are in lightwerkz site and they are then only ones I can find with 5500 k color
Haven't heard of them 👀
I’m sorry, but this was absolutely terrible because I went to look on how to install them and you just said two nuts on the back😡
But that's how simple it is!
Bullcrap sounds like marketing
It's called 🌈knowledge🌈
Do these work on any d2s/d2h projectors?
These are compatible with: MINI D2S: Mini D2S 1.0-5.0 NHK: D2S w/ threaded shaft ACME: D2S w/ threaded shaft GENERIC PROJECTORS: 'Mini D2S' Style (all versions) BULBS: All D2S / D4S HID
I enjoyed this thoroughly. So unique
Glad you enjoyed it!
You really mean 270degrees, not Fahrenheit for 7min? 270 is very much, think plastic would be getting very soft
270 for 7 minutes won't hurt anything!
I'm going to make a set using my old Volkswagen halogen headlights. I'll use a hole saw to get the perfect size hole for my new, cheap, LED projector. I'm just running LEDs in my halogen projector at the moment but the beam isn't perfect. You miss the peripheral views. I've got a light-bar on my roof basket to counter this issue on bendy back roads. It sucks having to turn it off every time oncoming traffic appears.
So do these work for brake/tail lights on the chevrolet tahoe? 01-06 the armor ones do not.
Yes they will! Or try the new XB LED Bulbs 👀
I wanted to upgrade my stock headlights on my 2006 Acura TSX. Are all of these compatible as a replacement?
Yes, D2S is the correct size for your car.
Need the correct projector recommendation to swap out my factory 2014 Equinox LTZ garbage projectors. Already converted to Mori moto HID.
Shoot us an email! support@theretrofitsource.com
Super dope very gd job 💪
Thanks 🔥
Hi What about Urethane windshield silicone will it work to reseal the headlight
No, to re-seal we would recommend using headlight grade butyl.
I have a 2014 Kia optima that has a low beam halogen projector as well as a high beam halogen reflector housing. What would I do in this situation to get the most light? Would I just do a single retrofit with an upgraded projector since the OEM Kia ones suck. Or do you go with bi xenon? If I go with bi xenon then what happens with the high beam halogen reflector that’s already installed on the car ?
You could easily do a projector swap, keep the OEM high beam, and then use a splitter so you have double high beams.
Would you run a 50w ballast in the micro d2s. Or is that too small
35W Ballasts only for the Micro D2S
Anyone find a workaround with the fuses? because my DRL stay on for a good while after I turn off my truck, please let me know if anyone has a solution
Shoot us an email, we can recommend some different fuse locations to try! support@theretrofitsource.com

Could you do a video comparing 360 LED bulbs in a projector headlight? There are multiple videos on UA-cam demonstrating that 2-sided LED bulbs in a projector lens has an unsafe beam pattern compared to the 360 bulbs.
Sure, that's a great idea!
So would i need the standalone for a 2014 ram 1500 cause it is canbus
Yes, you will need a CANBUS harness for your Ram!
How did you get a set with the smoked side marker lens? All i can find are the ones with the amber side markers?
The smoked side markers are no longer available, all current inventory is amber side marker for DOT compliance.
@RetrofitSource that really sux. Now I'm going to have to crack these open and make some alterations
Hi! Where can I find the 4500k in h4 led?
Not many LEDs are made in 4,500K 🤐
My drl does not default back to white after turn the rbg off on the app it defaults to a yellow green mixed color. It only defaults to white when i turn the car off and on again???
Shoot us an email, that doesn't sound right! support! theretrofitsource.com
I send an email haven't heard back from the retrofit source??
❤
Can i ask how to aim and adjust the headlight? Can you do it once installed or do you have to take them out and reinstall
You can reach the adjuster from the top of the headlight with a long Philips head.
🔥🔥🔥
Is there ANY way to fit projectors and keep the oem bulbs?!?! Seems like no one can pull it off on UA-cam
Yes and no. In theory, you can find another projector that uses an H11 bulb type and use that... but performance is going to be lackluster. Performance projectors are made for D1S/D2S/D3S/D4S and H1 primarily.
For dry eyes clear eyes are awsooom , wooooow
But if I have a headlight with projectors, 360 degree led would be perfect solution and will not impact other drivers.
That is not true 👀
@@RetrofitSource Why not? You can see tons of videos proving it.
U are completely wrong. It may work in the projector, but it will not be able to create a hotspot at all. And it will be a lot less bright than ur original halogen bulbs. A two sided led bulbs will be way brighter in a projector, than the multisided led bulbs in the projector. Never works like that.
@@rodrigomendes3327I can send u a video to prove u wrong very easily for that.

Where can I get u front bumper
Not sure man, this car belongs to one of our customers!
What size connector does it come with?
They use 9005/9006 input connectors.
I love them on my 2018 White Dually
Are y'all making 16-18 silverado 4banger fog lights applications?
Believe Morimoto is looking into more 4Banger applications, but nothing is confirmed as of right now.
What is the circumference of the projector? How many come in the kit? They are listed for $147 on your site but I don't know if that's for one or two. Thanks
Dimensions: 78mm H, 78mm W, 98mm D (incl. shaft) Mounting Shaft: 19mm Diameter Housing Depth: 66mm Minimum These are sold as a pair: www.theretrofitsource.com/bi-led-profile-hi-lens-led-high-beam-HiLENS-B?quantity=1
I need this in my life Just gotta save for a few months lmao
Few months Is crazy
Anyone know what turn signals she has? The ones above the fog lights.
👀👀
What if my headlight is H11? How will I be able to mount the projector?
You can either use a retrofit bracket, or you can use the nut and bolt method!
Any opinion on the AKKON version sold on Amazon? Price is very attractive. Thanks.
The Akkon has similar styling, but won't be anything near in comparison when it comes to performance, quality, and customer support.
how is the Aharon LED High Beam Projector compared to this? is this much brighter than the Aharon LED ?
We have not tested the Aharon LED Projectors.
