Headlights Hella or Morimoto

I am doing a Morimoto (Warranty) replacement right now since they have some weird spider cracks on the inside its been a very easy progress for me so far

First of all: I’m a Morimoto headlight owner. Overall, I love them. Glad I bought them. My biggest issue is having to replace lightbulbs. There’s no bulb replacement option with our Morimotos. Lots of folks having to replace the whole housing because be of the bulbs burned out.

I was in the same boat as you recently. I have a 2011 Trail and decided to go with the Morimoto headlights. So far I’m not disappointed. They are an upgrade over the stock halogen lights.

I currently have morimoto xb evos on my 5th gen and they do not disappoint in any category. Yes they're expensive, but they're pretty much the only real upgrade over factory leds in a facelift 5th gen.

Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers

I run Morimoto Sealed 7's. They're nice and bright, but aren't hot enough to melt snow accumulation.

I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.

I picked up my morimotos years ago after hitting of all things - a chicken and it cracked an OEM. Insurance covered the expensive OEMs so I opted to replace with morimotos. Several times I experienced high beam/low beam issues. Every time I reached out, morimoto provided quick and excellent customer service. Shipped me replacement lights on 3 occasions.

I been telling people for months on here to stop spending thousands of dollars on shit that makes their car less reliable. Morimotos are well known for being an unreliable product, even if they are cool.

I've been running Morimoto XB LED headlights on my 370Z for a while now and love the look - sequential turn signals, great output, matches the TRD Pro aesthetic perfectly. The 4Runner I just bought came with Morimoto headlights already installed. They have moisture intrusion in the lenses (common issue in Texas heat/humidity). I reached out to Morimoto hoping to buy replacement lenses since the housings and LEDs are fine. "We don't sell replacement lenses or any replacement components. You'll need to purchase a complete new headlight assembly." So if a lens gets damaged, moisture gets in, road debris cracks it, or UV weathering deteriorates it over time... you're buying an entirely new $1,700-2,000 set. No repair options. No replacement parts.
