WELL here ya go folks. Don't hold me liable for any measurements. This is backyard redneck testing.(my. neighbors probably thought I was a little off. All setups were LED. EXCEPT the stock headlight which has a halogen bulb. I wish I would have had an RX350 handy..but unfortunately not
Draw your own conclusions.
I tried to do an accurate comparison of DRIVERS side ONLY (keep it easier to compare). The XB kinda cheats because it has DUAL low beam projectors.... so I will compare it to my Bi-LED dual 3" retrofit. (that's only fair right?! )

Onto some pics. 56K take a seat

And now what you have all been waiting for: MORIMOTO XB LED



SINGLE HEADLIGHT

So yeah... it kicks butt. compared to stock and even the crappy LED OEMASSIVE/WINJET/ebay(all the same)


But how does TWO of those perform compared to ONE of it's big brother; the MORIMOTO M-LED Projector?
Here ya go: (yes I know both sides are on, it's the wifes car and I didn't feel like unplugging)

NOW...
If we are comparing DUAL LED projector headlights,
Here is my last set of double Bi-LED 3" retrofits.

I'm scratching my head wondering why anyone would want the XB LED Headlights and not a retro M-Led headlight. I guess bling and convenience. The color definitely isn't as good or sharp. How is the width of all the headlights in comparison?

 

eledobleu,

no comment on the $729USD shipping to Canada?
That has to be a mistake

There is something to be said about getting decent out of the box setup. Doing a retro is awesome, but is involved and generally more expensive. Especially if you rely on a service to do the retro. Yeah a retro be superior (when done right) but the process is not everyone’s cup of tea.

I know this may be difficult to answer, but I have the Tacomabeast housings with Morimoto Elite 35w hid's. The housings are great looking and have been happy with them, but want more light output. Will upgrading to these be a big improvement or do I need to go the custom route?

 

Come on come on!!!!

 

Yes its a mistake, Will be fixed soon!

 

Well said. I used to be the main Retrofitter over at Tundras.com. Retrofits are far more superior when it comes to light output. Though a good retrofit (RX350 w Osram bulbs, Denso Ballasts) cost alot more than these. Unless you can do the retrofit yourself of course. Also, by the lights being LED, its a maintenance free setup compared to HID.
