Morimoto headlight install not perfect?

I just install my Morimotos and does the fitment of these looks a little off? If any of you have Morimotos please share. The Morimotos were put on my 2022 Trd OR.

 

Known albeit minor issue. Mine have a slight gap too. Lots of feedback on this topic in their official review thread

 

Thank you I will check it out from there.

Happy reading

 

I noticed that you have a string or thread on top of the headlight (looks like it's under the glass?)

I have gen 1 of XB here which you see it in my avatar to the left of this post.

I plan to remove them as soon as I get new ones delivered.

 

I have the same gap as well. I ended up inserting some washers to fill in the gap where the mounting holes are, and it seemed to have help pull the housing up.





I tried to see if you can really close this gap, and I don’t think you can. The housing is being held in place by the bumper, and pulling it up more shows gap at the bottom instead. In theory there should not be any gaps as this was laser scanned, but it’s there.

 

Ok

ok thanks for the pics and info about the washer maybe I’ll do it next time when I change out my grille.

 

yeah imma have to check on that lol looks like it is string in my lens.

 

I don’t see what gap you guys are talking about…

 

It’s very minimal and someone would never notice unless they were told about it. My pro headlights have a similar gap. I’d be more worried about that fender and hood not lining up…

 

Yeah I noticed that too imma work on it this weekend.

 

All you have to do is turn the rubber bump by the headlight and the hood will line up.

 

I’m curious why you went with Morimoto over the OEM LED enclosures. Was there a huge price gap?

 

Ok thank you!

 

To be honest I liked Morimoto because it had the Amber Drl but once I installed the backlight for my diode dynamics I think I got too much amber going on. Lol I am looking to find some Oem led headlights though.

 

It’s very minimal but I can see what you’re talking about OP but they look nice. How do you like them so far?

 

I like them. But I wish I could compare them to the Oem led headlights.

 

i like the OEM one’s but don’t like the price haha. So I’m just going to have to save up

 

same my plan is to eventually get the Oem headlights.

 

I was going to get oem led. Even purchased the wiring harness for an SR5 from @Puppypunter and was saving $ for a black friday deal. But then I came across a good deal on Morimotos from a local TW member and the rest was history.
