HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

[Tombigbee]

Does anyone know what color temperature best matches the LED DRL?

 

I got my 5000k installed and the suggestions above of 5000k and 5500k match the led above and below the headlight is not correct. It would be more like the 4300k because the led strips are dimmed to half when the headlight is on. The full bright DRL is probably 5000k, but when they are dimmed in headlight mode, they are more warm than 5000k. FYI for anyone else out there.

Looks legit to me!

Has anybody had any luck buying headlights that were already retrofitted from a vendor?

 

Thank you

Is there a headlight Guru in Texas I could pay to dial in my Morimoto d2s4.0 lights? I had a local shop install them in my 2015 and after three attempts the hotspots still aren't right and bulbs still need to be shimmed. Willing to pay the right shop or person, any suggestions appreciated.

What part of Texas do you hail from?

Anyone interested in buying a set of FX-Rs? Will come with the HID bulb (not DS4) and harness. No ballast. $150 plus shipping. Was mounted in a 2014 Silveraldo for about a month.

Sorry over in Deep South Texas so can't help out. If near College Station give Jimbo with Tint Dreamz (Dreams) a ring. He may be able to help out or point you in the right direction. Tell him the mayor recommended you.

Hi guys,

 

This is my first post here. I have tried to read through the majority of the posts but frankly, I've been reading for about a week and a half and I still haven't found my answers. I think I'm still back in 2015. I have finally met my wits end with the lighting on this truck (I have a 2015 Silverado 2500 LTZ). Here is what I'm considering, I'm trying to make sure I will be matching and having all the right components.

 

I'd like to do a Morimoto HID Elite system for the low beams and Rigid SAE D series fogs, I am undecided on the high beams. I may do a full FXR retrofit down the road if I don't like the Elite system by itself.

 

A few questions:

 

1. Does anyone know what color the Rigid SAE fogs are? I've seen a few videos and they look to me in the videos to be around 5000 - 5500 K, but lets be honest these are youtube videos. I want to make sure I match everything and I can't decide what Kelvin to go with on the low beams. 4500K or 5000K?

 

2. Should I do HID's or LEDs for the high beams? If I do HIDs the matching will be fine. But same question with the matching if I do LEDs. For instance, If I do Morimoto 2 strokes, will the color of these match my low beams if I do 4500k on the lows?

 

Intermission: As you guys can see I'm just trying to get everything to match. Please help.

 

3. If I do 2 strokes on the high beams will they be any brighter than the lows? or the lows with fogs? Just trying to decide if I will ever use them. This is why I am stuck on whether or not I should do HID for the high beams? I know it will scatter everywhere, but will it throw further? I always yield my high beams to oncoming traffic so it shouldn't matter right?

 

4. Will this all be pretty reliable? We take long trips towing with my truck, I need reliability. Should I keep extra bulbs with me in my truck?

 

5. For this truck do I get the HD relay and the Anti-Flicker Capacitor? Or the HD relay and the Canbus? Or all 3? Or Canbus only? I know this has been answered but I want confirmation.

 

6. Should I wait for the morimoto m-led projectors to come out and do a full LED system? From what I've seen so far they still may not be as good as the HIDs, but maybe less complicated.

 

Thanks for all your help.

 

 

2strokes are terrible and will require that you cut the dust caps open. I'd go with HID if you want to start cutting. If you want plug and play, the new Xenon Depot H11's work with our factory dust caps installed.

Could someone tell me what the overall consensus is for the easiest kit to install is? HID or LED, which is giving the best results. I've tried reading through this forum but just can't seem to figure this out. I have a 2015 Silverado z71.

 

Thank you very much!

Love my Morimoto D5S replacements for the 2016+ HID trucks... I had tried an ebay D5S set with an external ballast, junk compared to OEM. These blow away OEM, and this is a 6500k!!

After running for 60s...

 

After 60s down the driveway...

 

And a final front shot...

 

I use Morimoto on all my personal HID setups, best products I came across. I loved my retrofit on my 2003 Silverado SS with their bits, figured give their D5S a shot and they nailed it!

I picked up a 14 LTZ 2 weeks ago and was disipointed by the terrible output. I picked up the long shot 4.0 projectors and HIDs. Now it's the best output I've had with any vehicle! 3rd pic is with brights.

I have a '14 Sierra with the TRS Morimoto HID kit. I'm starting to have relay failures. Any ideas how to prevent these failures or a better relay than the TRS supplied units? Thanks in advance.

Have you contacted TRS? Should be a warranty item??

 

Where do you have the relays mounted? Are they possibly getting any moisture in them?

TRS already replaced the passenger side. This is the driver's side now. I don't expect them to keep replacing relays every 2 years, but maybe the first pair was just a bad batch. They seem great about standing behind their product, though.

 

I'm fairly certain it's not a moisture issue. My relays are mounted at the spare battery tray location. I'm thinking it may be more heat-related. I have noticed the entire engine bay gets warmer than most vehicles I've owned.

TRS will take care of you as long as it's within 5 year warranty period.

Great customer service without a doubt.
