Nice to see u guys making some cool product vids. We want more TRS vids!!! :)
damn, i watched the whole thing to see the high beam output shot
He switches back and forth literally @2:45 in 😂
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Adonis Kash Instablaster ;)
I would like to see a video of you installing the 15-17 f150 retro kit. If it is out there I can't find it.
I think you guys should do a new vid with all the 2.0s considering the new m led is dropping. You got the koito bi led 2.0, profile 2.0, ups, and all the others.
YO DUDE I'M LOOKING TO RETROFIT MY D4S HID PROJECTOR WITH LED BI PROJECTOR WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
Will you please post link to 7 lense led by Profile when it becomes available
As of now would you say there are better led projector that would rival the g5r and the new d2s 5.0?
Hello. which model is sample number 1, at 2.30min
The lower colour temperature on the Osram projectors on high beam is pretty neat. I drive in a lot of snow in winter, and my LED bar with it's 6000K is useless when the snow become just a little bit thick.
Definitely a unique feature we've yet to see from anybody else. Still have those guys in stock too!
Do you have anything specific for a 2009 Silverado? I went to the website trying to find a kit but there's too many to choose from. What would be the best kit
We sure do! Check out the Morimoto 2stroke LED bulbs! It's a great upgrade, you just need to know your bulb type.
Lux value for the Koito??
Can you recommend me a good projector for my 2020 Civic Sport Sedan? I will get an HID kit and want to change the oem projectors to something that has great cutout, good output etc. Thanks sir.
Send us an email to sales@Theretrofitsource.com and we will point you in the right direction!
Hello!
I want to ask when driving on a rainy night with the lights on, the lantern inside will gather water vapor or blur; thank you
It could be a sealing issue, Try getting the headlights completely dried out and look for any openings or signs of water entry.
Maan its good to see you making vids again BIG MATT
So a 300w projector led takes uses the same amount of power as a regular led headlight
So do you guys have anything for a 2011 yukon SLE that didn't come with factory fog lights or harness???
We do! check these out: www.theretrofitsource.com/gmc-5-inch-morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights.html should just replace the bezels that block off the holes for the fog lights.
looking for a kit with shield for my first gen tundra AC ...recommend anything ?
Definitely! I'd suggest something like the D2S 4.0 system, would be a great option for a retrofit on your Tundra: www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-d2s-stage-3.html
Whats the M at 6:50 and why do they all have that little diagonal lines in the middle? Do they face the other direction in right hand drive countrires?
Exactly, that slope faces the other direction in countries that drive on the other side of the road. Provides extra light for you as the driver, and limits glare to oncoming traffic. The M is just for decor
Hi, are you planning a video with the upgraded versions of these projectors, or the new ones coming this year?
Maybe!
Any kits for 2005 Neonsrt4?
hi, i have a 2005 is300, any morimoto projector kit recomendation i can use for my car? thanks
Of course, we have some great kits available on our website!
www.theretrofitsource.com/projector-kits/retrofit-kits-universal
There are many people in the past that have used the Mini H1 kit to retrofit their IS300s.
Hi there. Can you tell me the model of the Morimoto projectors?? I liked the M on the concrete
Those are the Morimoto MLED projectors.
Funny thing....people keep harping on the projectors for LED, but my 2017 Freightliner Cascadia uses a purpose-designed LED REFLECTOR housing. They are great to drive behind, unfortunately oncoming traffic doesn't appreciate them as much.
I'm betting, with further refinement, the LED-specific reflector housings will win over projectors for LED applications. At least from what I've been able to see in real-world use so far.
The reflectors aren't bad at all, no doubt about it! The projectors provide a better aeshetic though, but performance wise we agree reflectors aren't too shabby.
I agree, I have that truck too. Does anyone make those reflectors for cars yet?
MrAcuta73 You know if any manufacturer makes them for cars yet?
which projector does morimoto use in their xb led headlight assemblies?
The projector will vary depending on the headlight and what can fit, but they're all Bi-Kuria projectors
I’m trying to go for a projecter that gives the best blue hue from certain angles. Any recommendations? An what bulb gives that best blue hue. If you send me links to the best ones out there that give the blues I’d greatly appreciate it for a 2012 Honda civic for HID bulb
Hey Michael, for this reach out to our CS team, we should be able to get you squared away with a killer set up!

Hey good evening ive just subscribed and I was looking to gwt my head light retrofited I was woundering how much does it cost?
I have a 2000 honda civic coupe
Thanks for your interest! there are a variety of options for your Civic. Retrofit kits can vary in cost from
TheRetrofitSource Inc thanks man really appreciate it😎 will do
Which one is the brightest and ...can it be run on 12v DC....plz let me know
The Morimoto MLED has the brightest hot spot of all these at around 540 lux on our beam wall. They can be ran on 12V DC for sure
The first high only is from Jauguar.But who is the OEM?
What is the brightest lead lens? have links?
Currently the MLED lens is the brightest: www.theretrofitsource.com/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-headlight-projectors.html
I’m just not sold on LED for headlamp use...I don’t mind most OEM LED’s but I’d much rather go with HID for aftermarket. I tried LED in two different vehicles and ended up returning both times and going HID lol. 🤷🏻♂️
OEM LEDs are generally underwhelming to say the least. Something like an M-LED would best 95% of OEM LED projectors by a long shot in both intensity and even light distribution.
We have an F150 LED comparison hitting youtube in the next few days, stay tuned for that.
TheRetrofitSource Inc That will def be cool to see. My experiences have solely been on simply replacing the stock halogen bulbs for LED’s and using the existing OEM projectors/reflector lenses. I think had I found you guys before OPT7, I would still have LED’s. Going from halogen to HID’s in the two vehicles I owned just worked better than going from halogen to LED, as far as using the factory set up.
I have to say though, I just hooked up my Morimoto 4500k HID’s in my car that I got from you guys and I am in LOVE with how they’ve turned out! Even with the stock projector housing. Installation was a breeze, thanks to your vids here and customer service has been awesome too! 👌🏽👍🏽
*what is best projector to used for high beam?*
Check out the EvoXR 2.0! www.theretrofitsource.com/bi-xenon-morimoto-evox-r-2.html
My 2013 camry stock projectors don’t look like the beam pattern here why??
Have led’s in them.
A quality LED bulbs can only go as far as the optics allow. If you're looking for a higher performing LED system we recommend swapping out your projectors and LED bulbs for this Bi-LED setup from Morimoto.
www.theretrofitsource.com/projector-kits/retrofit-kits-universal/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-headlight-projectors-kit.html
2014 was the first year koito led projectors were offered in the corolla amd iirc, the camry. was not a bi-LED, best performing LED low beam on the market, but paired with a halogen high beam. koito's bi-led is a very good projector and offers just about maximum legal output/intensity on both low and high beam
Can you guys please do a back to back comparison of the best LED projectors vs the best HID projectors? I would really like to see MLED vs Mini D2S.
what Led bulb/chip/make are in these projectors?
There are quite a variety. The Morimoto MLED uses a proprietary chipset made by Seoul Semiconductor though
Helo
How do I open the lens from its place
To remove a headlight lens you would need to warm up the sealant around the edges, an oven or heat gun could work!
At 4:42 do you have any specs, brand, model?
Andres we have these for sale here @ TRS - please give us a call @ 404 220 7940, ask for Matt
TheRetrofitSource Inc I can't call but I wrote a message in your webpage, I really need them. Thank you!
Hi retrofit,
I was following your video for quite a time. I've a car which had halogen projector. The light is not that bright in highways. In from India and if you do little research, you will see that all cars run high beams and they have extra headlights. They don't care about the on coming trrafic. So my question is to increase my light out put what can I do? Shall I go to HID as I've halogen projector or I can go to LED?
HID would be a great upgrade for your stock halogen projector and require little extra effort. If you want to add extra light to the high beams, we would recommend LED - since it can instantly flash on/off without any reliability concerns
TheRetrofitSource Inc thank you very much for your reply. So I'll go for 35w 4300k HID because if I go for 6000k , in the rain the light will be ineffective
how do i get mled ?
www.theretrofitsource.com/projector-kits/hid-led-projectors/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-headlight-projectors.html
can u guys review the Sanvi L82 Pro??
Hopefully we can get to it at some point soon!
Do you have a website or some way to send you head light for retrofit?
We dont do retrofits here, but you can find partners of ours who can do a retrofit for you: www.theretrofitsource.com/15-17-f150-tail-lights.html
Sorry, we dont do retrofits here - but we would be happy to help you source the parts and connect you with a pro in your area who can do the work for you
TheRetrofitSource Inc thank you but I will be giving you a call in the near future because have a older car and want a little more light ya know and I think a retro fit would be perfect.
Are NHK IV plus lens is good for my kia forte ?
It can depend upon which style headlights you currently have, if you want to email us we can help you find a perfect match.

@@RetrofitSource I sent a message
Great video
Thank you for the support, We really appreciate it!
I love how you guys use a DJI Phantom drone to film the footage, lol...
What can I say, We like to have fun! Thanks for watching.
Can you link your web site in the info please
of course, visit us at www.theretrofitsource.com - thanks Aaron!
What were the amp draws like on these? All 35W? Were the drivers actually pulling that?
Hey there! Sounds like you have lot's of questions. Give us a ring today and we would be happy to help answer anything you have! 404-220-7940
The only issue I have with these Projector housings is that the high beam does not have width, they are focused on a single point on the road and some of us really want to see not only the road but the road side as well
You have to remember that when you have your high beam on, that is intended to shine way down the road. When you are looking at that light at 700-1000 feet back, it will totally illuminate the entire road and surrounding area! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
4:29 ngl I put an LED in an aftermarket D1S projector and it's an upgrade compared to the HID conversion kit I had before.... calling me out lollll
Would it be efficient to put LEDs in a Bi-xenon projector?
Uh, no. Didn't you watch the video? The G5 is a Bi-xenon projector that they fitted with an LED bulb. The result was terrible.
It wouldn't be the best, but we do offer newer products now. Visit our webpage www.theretrofitsource.com and check them out.
Can I install one of these on my 2014 GL450? The original one sucks and high bean is terrible
It will take some custom work but you sure could!
Кто скажет какой тут в топе? какие места какие линзы занимают?
О чем тут говорить, если они не показали результаты штатного който модуля? А так рекламируют свои моримото, которые номер 6 справа, второе место по свету занимает номер семь справа, его можно на алике купить у Yufanya Store за 6500руб. В России они продаются как Alpha5 и имеют очень крутые отзывы, мне в принципе тоже понравились, как светят.
Sir can you plz gimmi the details of the M projector that has letter M under the light beam
That is the M-LED!
@@RetrofitSource Thanks bro…. Any bying link or anything from where i can buy this
The first 5 light look good, the 1 u selling got many black spot
We sell multiple LED projectors shown in this video. Each have their strong points, and different weak points. It really comes down to what fits your needs- pure raw power? width? good balance of brightness and width? foreground? etc...
Why this guy not have million subscribers?
Right!?😄
Thanks for the support my man!
love these comparison
Glad you liked the video, thank you so much for your support! Have a great day!
@@RetrofitSource these comparison videos are the best
Glad you like them man, thank you for the support! Have a good one!
Top 3 biled projectors from aliexpress? Light intensity and durability? Best regards
We can try to make a video like that one day! We'd have to do some research and testing in our studio.
IT WILL BE AWESOME. I think It will have lots os views because I know some guys from my country and also from another countries that will love to see something like that. @@RetrofitSource
Thank you
do you recommend LED or HID for a 2016 tahoe?
It really depends on what your needs are! We'll be releasing a new video in the next week that goes over the differences between HID, LED, and halogen in factory projectors.
TheRetrofitSource Inc i really like the looks of LED but not sure if it will work since it has the dust cap on the housing
The dust cap will have no effect on it working or not :). Because you have factory projectors, with a bracket the M-LEDs would be bolt-on. You just need to run a pass-through on the dust cover. We sell those in "build materials" on our website!
www.theretrofitsource.com
www.theretrofitsource.com/h11-morimoto-2stroke.html?carDisplay=2016+Chevrolet+Tahoe+%28Non+HID+Equipped%29&preselect=&preselect_restrict=1
that would be this kit correct
Might be time to update this video
Definitely is!
No DMEX led projector huh? It's better than the MLED (which is a pretty good projector).
i had been tried DMEX/ AES A2 bi-led projector, it's definitely better than MLED.
what version of dmex projector: seul semiconducter or osram led inside ?
obviously they aren't going to show products better than the ones they sell...why would they do that?
@@stokedGSXR off course... But example lightwerkz shows the Dmex vs profile biled vs Mled... And the looser is Mled...
Are u the TRS Andrew?
Bro, what about aozoom f1 75 w?
Can't say we're familiar with that one yet. Maybe we include it if we ever do another testing video! This one is a few years old now.
Thanks for answer. I will be tuned to your videos
@@RetrofitSource
Basically, all these projectors are made in China but they are rating the ones that they sell under their brand name to be the top rated?
The projectors we choose to make the TRS catalog are picked because they are top performers, not the other way around :). The data speaks for itself!
LOL even in our country the chinese dmex bileds are sold as xpled at twice the price!
nice
Thanks!
No wall Shot of the 7 lens? 💔
Coming soon. Video screwed up :(. Stay tuned!
I'm prolly gonna have to ghetto fit one of those projection lenses on my 99 Yukon
They are very worth it!
Q5 at the beginning....G5 at the end lol so which one is it ?
Same thing! Hella Gen 5 is the Audi Q5 projector, but good question!
@@RetrofitSource according to a VERY reputable source (LW) it's my understanding the Q5R Projector is actually a relative of the Morimoto/Profile D2S 3.0 Projector while the G5R is based off the original Hella G5 Projector as is the D2S 4.0...
No Hella units? I thought Hella has all sorts of led projectors? I would think that those would be the "industry standards."
Hella does indeed, but they're not really retrofitter-friendly like these aftermarket options (excluding the Koito and Osram projector we included - since they're compact and have integrated mounting points - The Koito is arguably the best OEM Bi-LED projector though, even with Hella included too)
WHICH ONE IS BEST???????
In a lot of ways it comes down to preference.
I can decide without a test by myself. I had switched to a Taochis bi-led projector, but I will still be left with a bi-xenon 3.0 projector. I'll wait for the bi led and the laser to calm down the prices. The cut off of the hotspot of the bi leds don’t be satisfactory today. I’ll wait...
Thank you for the reply.
Maybe time for an update?
Maybe soon!
That have come* out not came out... so like where are all the lux numbers you promised in the beginning? I saw like 3
seropserop every projector has the lux at the top left corner after showing the output.
Actually they're not
I saw like 3.*
Why on Earth didn't you show the test for the "high only" multi lens?! Wtf was the point in even including it!?
We actually did, but the video got fu*ked up. We'll be dropping a video on just that projector this week!
I probably buy the high beam piece im a lazy retrofit guy
The projector at 5:30 is a bmw knock off. It's laser version is insanely good!
Haha, just throw away the trash brah, keep the decent and good ones
You right! we don't sell 90% of these here, they were just for testing
