2005-2015 Morimoto Mini D2S Bi-Xenon projector install guide

Yup, but I left the smaller bowl unpainted to reflect light.

 

on the 2010 tacoma headlights how much did you shave off the back side? I shaved mine down just barely so the Y washer would fit but i have like no threads out the back side.

 

I used the big nut shown on the first page. That left enough threads to thread on the bulb retainer nut with the spring.

 

i think i need to sand mine down some more. :/

 

I don't know how your year's housing looks like, but I sanded mine completely off and flat like the pic.

Edit: I cut it off with a dremel cutoff wheel and then sanded nice and flat.

 

Do u have a pic of them installed?

Or how do u run the cable trough the rubber cap?

 

Sorry
Forgot to quote

 

Trs rubber caps or oem ones?

 

Just a heads up for anyone doing a retrofit to Depo brand headlights: the two adjustment screws that are 8mm socket with a phillips head in the middle (per headlight) that hold the bowl onto the gray housing need to be tightened in order for the bowl to come off. I spent far too long trying to back them out like a regular bolt before I figured this out. This may be true for stock headlights as well, but I cannot say.

 

Good info!!

 

So how does everyone mount there halos inside of their shroud that goes on the projector.??

 

Three dabs of jb kwik weld
Like so

 

Subbed was going to order yesterday but they said everything would go on back order?

 

Like?

 

The ds2 stage 3's, doing some more research I see I should wait till the 4.0 come out some time next week. I did preorder my 05-11 morimoto fog lights

 

Ah yes, 4.0s should be out in the next month or so!

 

What improvements were made on the 4.0?

 

The biggest change IMO is the curved shield vs the straight one before. Of course other little tweaks also such as
-rear facing solenoid connector
-front half is gonna change a bit
- and other things.





A little different eh?

 

^ Umm...sure. Haha. I guess I need to do some reading on projectors, cuz I don't know what you're talking about.

 

No worries. I'll make it even easier to understand

On the left is Mini D2S 3.0 with straight cutoff shield. On the right you have Mini H1 7.0 with curved shield. The width on the Mini H1 is definitely wider because of it's cutoff shield being curved. However, Mini D2S does have a bigger hotspot, so that means the distance is better vs the Mini H1. Both are great projectors still.

So if you keep that intensity of Mini D2S 3.0 but add the curved shield of the mini h1 7.0, you get Mini D2S 4.0.
