Morimoto headlights

[Npd15]

So I’ve looked and looked and since it’s so costly for bulbs and deleting my drls on my 23 custom…I’ve been looking at headlights. I noticed morimoto comes highly recommended and I see there is two kinds. One is $1200 and the other $1800. Both are out of my price range lol but…I’m leaning towards the basic model (halogen signals) anyone have these? Or is the upgraded version best? I’m just looking for good lights and drls

are you wanting to change DRL's to be LED strip like the higher optioned trucks?  If not, then it's much cheaper to just switch to LASfit LED bulbs and get the harness from Gen5diy to relocate DRL from headlight to parking light in your current headlight housings.  You can change your lows/highs/turn/marker bulbs plus the harness from Gen5 and still be half the cost of changing out housings.  But if it's the led signature strip DRL's your after, like I was, then your only option is to switch to aftermarket housings, or the stock led housings and harnesses.  I hope that helps some.

Well…I love the look of the updated lights no doubt. I did look at upgrading the bulbs but read the drls will burn those out fast. I was unaware of this harness you speak of, I think the parking lights as drl would be kinda cool. Link for this harness? I checked that site and I’m not seeing this? I’m probably just missing it…as for the new lights you have…you have the upgraded stock or morimoto? And did you get the high end morimoto or regular two led lights? Love to see a pic

here is the drl relocation harness.  It has went up in price some, like everything else these days, but still cheaper than whole new headlight housings.

I got a set of oem led housings and swapped into mine.  I was able to get them at cost through a buddy is only reason I ended up going this route.  I had Lasfit led bulbs in my stock halogen housings before switching and actually liked the light output of them better (was brighter).  If I hadn't have gotten the stock led housings, I was going to go the route mentioned before of just changing the DRL to the parking lights.  I've also added oem fog lights and they are able to come on with high beams for all 6 on high lighting up the road nicely.

I definitely want to add oem fog lights. I have the auxiliary switches already so should be easy I hope. Thanks for the link!
