Headlights Morimoto or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Headlights

For headlights there a tons of options. Personally I went with an OEM style with black housings, but you can find a bunch on ebay. Just be prepared for the clearcoat to wear out on them after 3 or so years if it lives outside.

Pros: OEM style, black housings
Cons: clearcoat wears out
Vehicle: Honda Civic

I did the same exact thing. This is what I got [Morimoto mini](https://www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3?quantity=1) . Installation instructions aare available online and it required putting the headlight in the oven to take the cover off. It was pretty easy. 5 years later and still works and i use high beams frequently. You'll have to do some custom work to find some place to hold the ballasts in place in the engine bay. Very high quality product.

Pros: high quality product, still works
Cons: custom work required

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.

Pros: quick customer service
Cons: high beam/low beam issues

Pros: considerably brighter lows

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.

Pros: cool look
Cons: unreliable product
Vehicle: Nissan

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.

Pros: great output, matches aesthetic
Cons: moisture intrusion, no replacement parts
