Headlights Morimoto or OEM Mazda

Morimoto has been good to me. 4 years or so first Gen xbs.

I have Morimoto Super 7 headlights, they are amazingly bright but look way out of place on a Miata. I keep my lights down during the day so I don't scare any other Miata owners out there. I outshine Teslas and Porches in my area at night.

I daily my ND3. It's still brand new so I'll see what I have in store as far as reliability and maintenance. I got the soft top club trim. I traded in an 01 Mazda Protege DX for it. I drive at night so I can confidently say that the headlights are by far the best I've had.

I have morimotos in my f150, and they are life changing in that vehicle. It's a 2011, so stock was incandescent. Once I got them, I vowed to make sure my next vehicle could be fitted with morimotos.

First thing I did when I bought mine was swap out the dim eBay halos for some stock replacements. Still in there 12+ years later!

I have a 2020 2500 tradesman. I upgraded to these lights and they are awesome. I’ve had em for like 5 months now no issues.

It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.

These are known to go bad. I didn't have your issue, but my passenger light decided to start flickering one night instantly. The next day, the DRL wasn't working, and the low beam wouldn't come on. I ended up getting new headlights from Morimoto since I had no warranty, and I wasn't going to pay $1200 for one headlight from Nissan. The OEM lights are pretty good, but terribly designed, causing water intrusion.

It was a terrible headlight design with a built in fan that failed very quickly, so it's believable that they are short on them.

Maintenance after 5 years warranty is expensive. Parts are pricey and hard to come by. 1 bnew headlight alone can cost you 6 digits.
