Morimoto 9012 2stroke led's?

I'd also join hidplanet.com to learn about retrofitting, and headlight junkies on facebook. Doing your own retrofit is easier then you probably realize.

I just installed a morimoto hid kit last weekend in my 14. I used the 4500k 35w kit. 4500k gives you the most usuable light fyi. Not a bad install just takes a little time to route everything.

Thanks for the reply, and what do you mean by "most useable" light? I was thinking of going with the 5500k/ 35w kit.

4500k is thought to be the best overall light for distance and brightness. The higher Kelvin rating (4500k, 6000k, 8000k, etc.), the more "blue" you get and lower lumens. 5500k is considered "Pure White" while 4500k is Warm White and 6000k is Cool White.

Thanks guys, I'll be ordering my kit today and hopefully installing next week sometime. Can't wait to see the difference

Got my hid kit today, didn't have a chance to install so I plan on tackling it tomoro after work. Does anyone else tape/ heat shrink over their connectors? I saw somewhere someone did that, good idea, not necessary? Just wanting to make sure I hopefully avoid any possible issues. Thanks

I didn't shrink wrap my connectors. The plug gaskets seem to fit tightly enough. I'd also recommend Rigid SAE fog lights if you want even more light output. Regardless, the HID kit will be a great improvement.

Below is the 5500k kit with Rigid fogs.

I just installed the kit and have noticed a slight buzz coming from the ballasts, normal? Do I need to change something? I remember reading about the buzz but don't remember what was said about it or where I saw it. Both lights come on just fine otherwise.

Normal unless its really loud. A slight hmm is normal

Juan_ID · March 3, 2017

EDIT, I got it all sorted out. Thanks guys!

Pics or it didn't happen

Let's see them lights Juan!

Juan_ID · March 3, 2017

This is the only pic I took last night, but the short drive down the street after all was done I am a happy camper. So much better than stock, will likely have to go out tonight and check the height and adjust if needed. Should have taken some road output pics before, but I'll take some of the after to post.

Those look great. After watching fondupots video you need to run a positive and negative lead to the battery as well as plugging in the other supplied leads, correct?
