I was so excited thinking you were going to show them both against a wall turned on. Comparing against the two. Because a lot of times the cheap ones don’t even bother trying to control the beam pattern much.
Not gonna lie, I like the cheaper ones better, even with the "rice" factor
nice comparison. Congrats on the vest for your daughter as well.
great video, thanks for the extra wiring halo / indicator demo:-)
Thanks Dude great video I've got the one without the halo and it's great 👍
great video just received my lights today £30.00 from ali express they are amazing!!! using them on the rear of my corvette c6 with red tint film. mirimoto rears are $350!!!!
@Obsessive Hobbies , trying to decide between the Morimoto Sealed 1.0’s($75) or the sealed 2.0’s($225). Any thought would be greatly appreciated!
the anti flicker works by having a resistance integrated. making the ohm bigger to replicate the desired bulb to trick the canbus. often used when changing from glow bulb to led.
how would you flash a JK to run LED headlights? My 16 JK doesnt have DRL lights, so I am thinking the morimoto should be plug n play without the flicker adapter?
hello . . . would you make some review video about 7" LED in night view ? thx
how the rice lights holding up?
Is it possible to buy the sealed 7's singly for bike headlights? Or only by the pair?
The “anti flicker” is just a relay. Had a problem with aftermarket lights flickering on my 70 cutlass. Didn’t even bother buying anything as I had relays that I wired into the headlight wiring before the fender well.
So, what was the point of all of that if you aren't going to point them at a wall so we can see beam pattern and brightness?
Morimoto was the way I went. I went back and listened to your video again and you mentioned an adapter you were waiting for. Was that to mount the headlight? Mine will not fit into the brackets on my TJ. I'm contacting customer support to see if they might know what bracket will work with their lights and my TJ.
what brand is the "cheap ebay lights" I would love to get these for 56$
Will these fit on a JK? 2002 Liberty
Will this fit a Jeep Renegade
May I ask you to try to assemble the Captain America super car headlights? I have this product
Done my research.. I'm getting the Morimoto Sealed 7. 2.0 for my 2015 Jeep JK. Judging most Wranger's I see, they'd buy the cheap one in a heart beat. They think more crap on their jeep makes its look good. Quality of Quantity.
I have the sealed 7 2.0 in my miata. For the $ the Kong style are a much better light. Better beam pattern. Better overall light. And no issues with moisture.
"At least I dont have angry eyes" hahaha you get my vote for that
15+ mins long video, but missing the most crucial part - how they actually light up the view, how the beam pattern looks like AKA - the performance comparison.
me too, no info on pattern just "really bright"
No comparison video?
Hi mate how are the lights doing?
Capacitors are what keeps the lights from flickering. A capacitor is like a small battery.
Hey does the drl have switchback mode to amber when the turn signal comes on?
Yes
How do you install these to a 2011 Patriot? I assume you need some sort of adapter after removing the stock headlights? Where do you get the adapters from?
Did you ever find thr adaptors?
the black box holds a capacitor circuit that keeps the voltage steady @ 12.8vdc while energized
FYI: that halo LED light is called a "Switchback" LED... simply cuz it's 2 color and it will "switchback" to the 1st color when the powers pulled from the 2nd
got mine on Harley wired so it flashes amber when using turn signals, then back to white DLR when not turning ;)
50K for a plastic piece of shizn....tisk tisk, thats not a jeep, it's just using the name for sales....actually anything made after 99 is a plastic piece of over priced shizn ;)

@@thecentralscrutinizer5105 fca makes better jeeps than jeep ever did. 34 jeeps later and I can say that
@@obsessivehobbies5464 34 jeeps?...that alone tells ya they suck....
@@thecentralscrutinizer5105 not really. I've had lots of other cars too. Jeeps are just my thing.
@@obsessivehobbies5464 ya, I like em too... Had a 95, 97 & a 98....just bought an 88 grand yesterday, wasn't looking for 1 but 200$ for a running 88 w/ carb (fak EFI) and a 5 speed manual transmission, t'was hard to not pass on it ;)
Where's the beam footage? I thought you would have showed it to us against the wall or something. That was the perfect opportunity to compare the two beams side by side
I ended up ditching them before doing that video. I wasn't impressed with the Morimoto's output and beam pattern. I went to the less common "kong" style and it ABSOLUTELY destroys this headlight.
Obsessive Hobbies were you planning to make a comparison with that one too?
@@obsessivehobbies5464 what is a "kong" style?
@@obsessivehobbies5464 Yes, as others have asked "What is Kong Style"?? I tried to find something on Amazon but not successful. I was going to purchase the Morimoto's but if you can help with my consumer research...I appreciate your time, consideration and reply. Thank you for posting all this good content, I searched your channel video's as well for any titles eluding to Kong. Looking forward to hearing back :)
@@obsessivehobbies5464 Found it finally in one of your other video's and the Alibaba listing. I think these are the same on Amazon but not a 100%

Curious, what did you end up putting the $56 ones on, and how was the projected pattern?
They were very similar. However since this I've found kong style that look like factory jeep headlights and they are the best I've ever found. I have vids on them with beam pattern. And they're 150 bucks.
Hey great video. You might have helped me here. Is there a way I can contact you with a video I have if my issue.
Want to see both outputs next to each other, I want to see before I buy the cheapos or spent 500 on the new super7s.
Did you purchase the cheaper ones yet?
@@DentRaptor I never did, got rid of my Tj so never bought them at all.
Also I saw a pair of them cheaper ones on a friend unlimited wrangler n he liked them for the price but I didn’t like the output blinded ppl that were Infront of him rather than having a good output for you to see at night. It will just depend on your preference.
Yeah I already have a rice bikes while take the rice headlights maybe I'll get 10 pairs of them and put them in the sheds so when I die my son will still have five pairs left
i think this is one of the most honest reviews and fair ones without bias
Hey just wondering if this would fit a 74 Vw bug.
If they have 7in round headlights they should
Will this work on a 2012 jeep patriot
Did you found out if it works?
All of these style of lights have a "rice" factor. If I were to get this style of light I would prefer the one with the halo, even if it is cheaper.
Good 👍
i like the cheap ones and if they do not last long well just buy another pair
Id start with the cheap boys cuz they nice. and anty up for a nice quality set down the line.
Can this work for my 16 Jeep Patriot?
I'm watching this video asking the same question lol. I keep looking at them on my watch list in ebay.
How is the beam pattern?
It wasn't great on either. I went to the Kong style and was much happier
i just bought a pair for my 1984 alfa romeo spider, lets see if they are good
The ebay ones are called "angle eyes". Maybe that's why the bottom lens is on an angle?

I have the cheapo lights. Are they good? No.
Are they a huge improvement over sealed beam halogens on my Samurai? Hell yes.
xHECKx does it fits well on samurai?
@@lks3g380 No, but it fits. Very tight.
They cost 160$
For abroad
15 minutes and no side-by-side projection comparison???? 🤦🏻♂️
Probably made in same factory in china
Probably true of BOTH brands. Damn near everything does.....
Morimoto is Japanese and the generic ones are Chinese. 2 different Asian countries.
@@Wheelieking619The name's Japanese, to make you think they're Japanese I guess, but they 100% are made in China.
Is there have anyone want to get a headlights for free?
NO
Resistors.
Do your homework. Watch other review videos to see what the differences are. There are many of them try to get the side by side with brightness ratings so you can see how they look. Cheap isn't good if you can't see where your going. Most important is the beam pattern because that is how you see down the road. The expensive lights will have a better pattern than the less expensive ones.
More expensive will not have a better beam pattern. Just depends on how the headlight was made.
More thought in cheaper
Morimoto Sealed 7 headlights are crap, I’ve had them for 2 years and I’m on my third replacement; half of the LEDs in the daylight running system keep going out making them look really cheap. A manager is supposedly reaching out to me, but it’s been a few weeks and still no email. They require you to purchase another headlight, send in the defective one, and then wait for a refund like people have time to tear their jeeps apart for fun and part with a few hundred dollars for no reason!!
It's a no brainer why would I pay over $56??
Because the output of the cheap ones has been proven time and again to be absolute garbage compared to the quality ones like Morimoto and JW Speaker
@@theconstantevolution so just buy stronger bulbs lol
@@dangerousdoggo5465 these don't have bulbs. They are complete sealed assemblies.
It amazes me how many people are absolutely clueless to how things actually work. "Get a brighter bulb" isn't the answer to all of lighting problems. Learn how light works, how output range and patterns change from bulb type to bulb type, why each type requires its own housing and lens type, and you'll come to realize that you can actually have superb lighting without blinding the fuck out of oncoming drivers. You'll also come to realize why it costs more for the better items.....
Or just continue being cheap and going with brighter bulbs bro
@@theconstantevolution absolute garbage? In most side by side comparisons I've seen, people report the differences as minimal. Maybe 20% better quality at 1000% cost increase. Wisamic look to have a very effective cutoff for oncoming drivers. The differences between stock headlights and cheap Chinese LEDs are huge, then the jump to JW is minimal at a massive cost increase. I need 2 for my Rocket 3. I'd pay maybe 500 for a pair of the adaptive 2s, but that is roughly the cost for just 1, so I'm just gonna try some wisamic for $100 and see if it's enough of an upgrade
@@dangerousdoggo5465 these lamps are a sealed unit. Contextually, this entire discussion is about these types of sealed replacement lamps. "So maybe you euro-peans are too stupid to understand context." "Buy brighter bulbs" is a stupid comment in this context.
On point, my buddy put a set of JW Speaker 8700 evo's in his 79 toyota pickup. Was a bitch because of the negative switching, had to build a relay harness anyway for them. I've bought three different sets of these chinese knockoffs, and they have all been blown away by the jw speaker units. One of them was decent performance wise, considering it was $58 bucks, but still fell way short of the focus of the jwspeaker lights.
And the morimoto lamp is just the retrofit source rebranding yet another chinese knock off product and upcharging 400% for it.
Those china lights are not dot approved. The chinese just dont give a shit and stamp it in there. The rgb color changing ones say dot too yet you can have red or blue
Not a very scientific, technical or thorough evaluation. Seems to be based on what some dude thinks.
Pretty much. Welcome to the channel. Theres lots more of what this dude thinks on here haha
@@obsessivehobbies5464 well, if you favor the less common Kong style, please, tell us about it. I am looking for a 5.75" LED headlamp for my Sportster.
Let's stare at the boxes for 5 minutes.
