    Ok, so I'm REALLY leaning towards getting a pair of Morimoto headlights.
    For those of you all that have them, how bright is the light output? And how do you like them?
    Post pictures too please.

    I've had OEM Halogens, OEM housings with HID, aftermarket housings with retrofit HID's, Alpharex Gen 1, and Morimoto Gen 2's.

    The Morimoto's are perfectly acceptable and I'll keep them on the vehicle unless something earth shattering I just can't live without is released.

    They are plenty bright.
    I did have aftermarket LED bulbs in for my HB in the OEM units which were too bright. I always felt the OEM HB was too dim and hated the color.
    Morimotos are I think the sweet spot and look so good.

    @PVT Pablo Nice skid and rack.

    I have had 2 sets of Morimotos. One on the 4Runner and one on a Ford Raptor. The performance was great. On the Raptor I had an issue where there was an unidentifiable electrical draw coming from the lights that killed my battery. They replaced the lights free of charge. Other than that no issues.

    I upgraded my 2019 to a full set of Morimoto lights (exterior, interior, and their cool backup lamp) and am extremely satisfied. They are exceptionally clean and bright, yet no one ever flashes their lights at me. Highly recommended (too bad they are so expensive, but worth it to me).

    IMG_0405.png Get them. They may not be for everyone but I’ve been extremely satisfied.
