Morimoto Elite HID System and LED Fogs for your '16+ Tacoma

@TRSAndrew @moe2o4 I have confirmed the stock rubber swap to the morimoto. They are stiffer and has very minimal play vs the morimoto. The morimoto are squishy feeling Iike gummy bears. The stock have actual hardness feel like any rubber washers. Will confirm if they move when driving tonight. But I have a good feeling it will solve the problem.

 

Sounds good now to find my bulbs later after work lol!

 

I think home depot or hardware store will have an o right washer to fit

 

It's a o ring on the bulb?

 

Not really. But you would need to measure or compare your and find one that fits. By the look of it it's about 1/8 inch thick. All it does is when you screw it on it pushes against the base of the bulb to the socket so it doesn't move. But then again water/moisture leak. So bad idea scratch that out. Find your Olds ones

 

I believe i know where the old bulbs are at at home, I'll have to check after work! I put the new hids in and work and thought i left the bulbs here but i guess i didn't.

 

Changed the rubbers out on the hid's. The ones that come on the Trs kit are a lot softer than the ones that came on the factory bulbs, will find out in the morning. I did get the fogs in yesterday, very happy with everything.

 

I did swap out the stock rubbers from the stock bulbs to the Morimotos. Still has the Shake/move up and down when driving.
Please come up with a fix or new bulb replacement or a solution. I have never seen something like this before. @TRSAndrew

 

Can someone make some install instructions? where are you putting the ballasts? Video would be great too. Thanks

 

So what happens if people don't have their stock bulbs to take the rubbers off. How can they fix this?[/QUOTE]

Did you swap your rubbers over to the Morimotos? I did mine but its the same. feels stiffer in the socket but its the same thing. still moves up and down :/

 

I'm new to HIDs, so bear with me... but this kit is just the low beams, correct? If so, can I just buy the harness/bulbs for the high beams and plug them into this as well?

 

you will need a separate kit for high beams= bulb, wires, and ballast ( find the correct bulb size)
so if you want low beams= 1 full kit,
if you want high beams= another full kit,
fog lights= 3rd full kit

 

Thanks. Good to know

 

i would spend the money on high beams, just get a white color bulb for the highs.

 

I'm definitely going too. If I cheap out and leave them alone I'm gonna be mad as hell every time I turn them on, I already know it. The fog lights I'm still not sure about as I almost never use them. Like ever.

 

i dont even use my high beams. only to flash people, i got hid in the low beams and will get yellow for the fogs.
my truck is already 3 inch of 33's so its already blinding people, i dont need to draw attention

 

Bump

 

I am going to change out the rubber seals on my bulbs today but if you guys said it don't really make a difference then idk. Hopefully the guys from retro fit source can resolve the problem!

 

I was super happy before I left work yesterday. But then as I was driving home, it's the same still moves on bumpy roads.

 

Ya idk either........
