    Already have the Morimoto H1 6.0, looking for something with a better output. Are there any kits that reuse some of my current components?

    What are you looking to upgrade to? Dont buy a kit, just buy the individual components that you need.

    If you want better output and you are using 35w then try upgrading to 55w. The H1 6.0 should still hold up.

    Just looking to "throw" the light further, if that makes sense. I've checked to make sure they're aimed correctly and everything seems spot on. I'm relatively green to the HID scene, but are there better bulbs than the Morimoto H1?

    :rofl: not sure if you did that on purpose, but even funnier if not, "green" and "morimoto" in the same sentence. Check out NHK bulbs. They are very good for a re based bulb imo.

    Maybe post up some output shots and let us see what you are working with.
