Morimoto HID - Any Issues for you?

GMC-AT · December 8, 2014

To the guys that Morimoto installed - have you had any issue with your lights? If so, please describe what your issues were, how long have you been running the lights, etc. I heard some were having issues with the bulbs losing output, etc...

I myself have not had a single issue with my Morimoto 35w kit over the last 4-5 months. But then again I don't do a ton of night time driving.

I've had my 3five kit for about 2 months now and I love it! No issues

I've had the 5Five kit for 6 months. No problems.

35w kit, but have yet to resolve issues with HD radio when the lights are on.

Had a ballast that failed.

I've had it installed for over 2 months now. No problems what so ever and absolutely love them.

I had a bulb go out after a few months. When I put one of my 9011 bulbs in for a short time, I could see that it was the same brightness as the remaining HID bulb. When the new HID bulb came, I could see it is much brighter than the old one. I'm guessing something like 30%

I had a bad ballast when I first installed mine, the lights wouldn't turn off.. Morimoto sent me one (albeit, via ground so i had to wait 3 days), but it worked perfectly after that. 2 months and they're great. - 35W with 6000k bulbs

zero issues, maybe two months.

GMC-AT · December 25, 2014

Any of you guys notice any changes in bulbs like Spurshot has indicated ?

I've had mine for about 2 months and had no issues at all with them. Great product for sure.

Ive been having a new problem that has happen twice, not sure whats causing it but the drivers side light will stay on when I turn the lights to the off position in the cab, even tried turning truck off then restarting and this all happened during the day when the lights shouldnt be on in the first place. Also noticed when this was happening that the passager side light doesnt even come on at all. After a few hours I noticed it go off and then everything work as it should, weird.... as a side note does anyone experience a buzzing sound coming from one of the relays of the kit? Ive also noticed this to be quite annoying

If your relay is buzzing, you need to check the resistor setuo for correct orientation.

Normally when a relay is bussing you have DRLs and the way they operate is a "pulse" signal. You probably need to install a capacitor in your wiring to smooth out the signal from a pulse to a constant signal.
