HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

[Roscopcoletrain]

Curious, do bulbs change beam pattern at all or is that all projector?

So I just bought my 2018 Sierra 1500 without the led upgrade. I’d rather just do a morimoto bulb switch but I haven’t heard nearly any talk about the 45watt D5s bulb that morimoto has. Are there compatibility issues or are they just new. They are only $20 more than the 35 watt bulbs. 

 

Has anyone run these yet??

Havent heard of any issues but 45 watt will wear the bulbs out faster (20% faster). If you want you can use gmforum_10% and get 10% off at fastheadlights.com on the 35 watt setup.

Honestly the wear wouldn’t bother me all that much. I kinda feel like if I’m gunna do it I want to put the brightest thing I can in. When they go out I’ll replace it. Will y’all not be carrying the 45watt for a specific reason?

The amp plugs on the d2h will plug directly into your ballast just like the HIDs you had before. Since your lights come on when you manually power them on it doesnt sound like a connection issue. If they inconsistently came on then perhaps an issue with the connections. Being that it isn't working in DRL mode it really points at that capacitor link being suspect. Check the ground connection on the capacitor and check the polarity. Red to red and black to black. Many times guys will reverse the polarity and it will cause the capacitor to not work.

I checked the capacitor and it looks correct. Is it possible the capacitor went bad the same moment I swapped the bulbs? I will swap it this weekend and see if that makes a difference. I just don’t understand why it would stop working. You are right everything works fine except for the DRL/running lights

It may very well have gone bad. You dont see any bulging on it do you?

I don’t think so but I will look closer. I truly appreciate the help!

I just purchased the morimoto d2s kit from fastheadlights for a 2015 GMC Sierra HD. Quick question, how do you adjust the projectors? I’m concerned about whether they will be too low or high.

And for anyone considering upgrading their HIDS (with or with a new projector) I strongly recommend the Hylux ballast. I have been selling Morimoto products for over 10 years now. Good product but the failure rate is much higher than Hylux in my experience.
Not to mention that if you have an issue with a Hylux ballast it is simple to diagnose. Swap one side with the other and if it resolves the issue then warranty replace the ballast. Frickin Morimoto having separate ignitor, ballast and anti flicker links makes it a bitch to diagnose. Especially if you aren't familiar with HID systems.

Fast,

 

I am considering a plugandplay HID kit for my 14 Sierra SLT.  I have purchased the Morimoto kits with relay harness in the past and have had good luck but after reading your and other's comments I am wondering about your morimoto/hylux option.  I have never heard of the Hylux kit before reading about it here. So if I understand your website correctly, there is no need for a separate relay harness, igniter, capacitor, etc?  Can the OEM headlight harness handle running all current through it alone?  Any warranty on your kits? Sorry for multiple questions but this kit is new to me. 
 

Thanks.

All you do is use the adjuster screw on the top of the headlight. No different than adjusting the factory setup.

Hey no worries on questions. Happy to answer them. The Hylux ballast essentially has all the components the Morimoto system has all built into one unit. Makes installation much easier. When you buy a kit on our site you get everything needed to do the install: )

Any warranty on your kits?

There is a 3 year warranty on the Hylux ballasts. It’s an easy process to make a claim. Send Phil (Fast) an email letting him know there’s a problem. He’ll ask you to follow a couple steps to confirm the issue is in fact the ballast. If it is, you prepay a reduced price for the replacement ballast which will arrive in 2 days. When it arrives, remove the failed ballast, destroy it (cut the wires) and send him a pic of the destroyed ballast. He refunds your money less the shipping of the replacement ballast. I received the new ballast two days after I made my payment. I received a refund before the new one arrived since I destroyed my failed ballast and sent him a pic while the new one was shipping. In the end, I paid $8 (shipping) for what would have cost me $58 to replace and had it fixed two days after I made a claim. Simple.

 

It took me more time to write this description than it did to actually make the warranty claim.
