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

I'm currently trading in my 13' F150 for a Taco, and I have the TRS Elite Bi-xenon kit installed. The kit is about a year old, and there is so much RF noise from it that I can't even listen to the radio. It goes from crystal clear to pure static when the lights are switched on. TRS told me to put Ferriet coils on the wires but it didn't change anything. And everything was properly grounded. If you look at OEM system the entire wire and bulb is shielded, and the TRS systems don't shield at all.

 

So I installed the kit yesterday and took it for a test spin last night for about five miles or so. I didn't really notice any bounce but then again I drove on pavement and some highway. If it did bounce then it was minimal since I would have noticed a frequent and annoying vertical bounce. I'll take it out again on rougher road to see if it's really bad. I will say the light on this kit is awesome, very bright and extremely white.

 

Anyone have the TL;DR for this thread?

 

Did you notice any AM or FM radio signal loss or degradation?

 

A little bit but it's not bad and to be honest I listen to music off a flash drive almost 100% of the time anyway.

 

Sub'd.

 

Had mine a couple months now and almost always have the radio on,I have no issues with signal.

 

Sweet.

 

Good to know. My kit just shipped, so I'll provide my feedback this weekend.

 

Those look really cool, if I buy the complete set, can you throw in a '16 Tacoma? I don't have one yet...

 

Yes just make certain to get the H11b bulb.

 

I did, they have a kit now on the website and it automatically picks the right stuff for the Tacoma.

 

LMAO ^^^ O that cracked me up ...

Likin the Lights, specially the fact they give this great white beam flash

 

So I have the morimoto H11b kit from retrofitsource and also the led h11 opt7 from Amazon, first I installed the opt7 (really easy to install) they are pure white, they don't bounce at all the brightness is same as stock but different color.

Then I installed the morimoto kit, very good light, you can see wayyyy better on the road, color I think is a little less pure white than the opt7 but not yellow, I like them. My kit came with the Higher-Density H11 Bulb Grommet...STILL BOUNCING..... I don't know why the opt7 don't bounce ( maybe because the weight of the led?) I am going to swap the grommets from the opt7 to the morimoto bulb. Also Im going to purchase a different brand (ddm) of HID bulb only to compare if they bounce like the morimotos.

I hope someone has a solution or something that can fix the bouncing on the morimoto kit. I really like them but I hate the bouncing.

 

I just installed my kit yesterday.

Install was a breeze thanks to heavy duty plastic velcro I picked up from the hardware store. Much better, no cloth hook and loop to wear out and should stand up to dust, dirt and water.

I lucked out and do not have the bounce. I used the grommets that came with the Morimoto bulbs. Before I purchased the kit, I checked my projector housings and they were pretty solid with no movement. The bulbs fit nice and snug. I was careful to install them the right way, and hold them flush to the housing as I inserted them and rotated to lock them into place. To make sure all 3 tabs locked down evenly.

Also I do NOT have any issues with static on my radio. I used the ground that was coming off of the battery and connected to the fender.

Light output is amazing. I have the 35w 5500k kit. At first the light has a little blue to it, but that's during warm up.

The build quality of the kit is amazing.

I was really impressed with how wide the beam is coming off of the factory projectors.

Now for the pictures.

I thought this was a cool shot. There isn't that much glare, its just the way the light hit the lens.

 

Good for you! Did you put the bulbs in a vertical direction?

 

I'm not sure I understand your question.

 

Sorry, hope you can understand in the picture

 

Ahh got it now. Yeah that's how I installed mine. The beam is nice and straight with no "V" in it.

 

Ok thanks, well that's the way I installed them, don't know why they bounce
