Hi Brian,

Yep...we at Ford started into the electronics in the early 80s, we had to learn hex. It was a struggle, but we got it...now some 19 years later....all is lost.

Best,

At least it's not Binary, Then you would have a string of ones and zeros. ?

These look very nice. Morimoto is good stuff too. Had their components on a retrofit on my focus as well as their xb led fog housings and wow. I’d say those rivaled the output of the lariat headlights.

Question... their legality page says they are not street legal... is that just a CYA statement/Disclaimer or are these truly not street legal?

And do they come with LED lights? (The ones for use in the projectors.)
Yes, both low and high beams are LED as are the DRL's.

I have a Lariat and I hate how well the lights work at night, on back roads. Do these light up the ditch any better? If so, who might want to buy some Lariat headlights?

Very possible. For now all we have is a few pictures and limited specs. Once we get more information, any additional pictures, or any output shots, we'll let everyone know. Morimoto is targeting release of these before the end of the calendar year but exact date is unknown at this time.

I'm guessing they will be better than Lariat lights. In my experience Morimoto projectors blow OEM Ford stuff away. I had a HID projector retrofit in my Focus and they were much nicer then the OEM HID that came in my Escape.

So, i'll second the question, when can we start a group buy?

Sounds like you may need a nap. :yawn::crackup:
I'll sleep soundly once I know I have my pre-order in. ?

I tried to pre-order the PS5 when the time was available. I clicked on the button and the web page at Best Buy didn't respond. Turns out there was so much traffic at the site. Tried for 2 hours. I finally made it to "proceed to payment" only for it to disappear from my basket. I'm like....WTF?!

Oh well. I'll use the money for the headlights.
