New Product - Morimoto XB LED Replacement Headlights

[jleds]

We've already informed Morimoto that we'll be purchasing a pallet of these headlights to make sure that everyone that wants a set, gets a set! It's going to take a bit longer than we would've liked, but they'll be worth the wait!

Count me in!

Also super interested in these for my Everest.

**** UPDATE ****

Per my conversation with Morimoto this afternoon, pre-ordering should commence in May. Still longer than any of us had hoped for, but progress.

If they'd sell the Everest in the States, that would be my next vehicle.

On my Jeep when I switched to some JW Speaker LEDs, I had significant ice/snow-over problems. On the trip from Denver to Summit County to ski, I’d sometimes have to stop at different points to brush off/scrape off snow and ice in snowy conditions since the LEDs put off zero heat. Do these have some sort of heat output/element to keep that from happening? I was really close to ditching those on the Wrangler for some Trucklite heated ones but sold it off before swapping...

The LED headlights do produce some heat, but definitely not as much as the older halogen or HID style headlights. And Morimoto has historically never offered a heating element as an option. We're still waiting on final details, pictures, etc for the new Ranger headlights. We'll post everything we can once they release more details.

One thing I have yet to see posted anywhere on these is the beam pattern/cutoff. The cutoff on the OEM Lariat LEDs is pretty bad.

please elaborate, whats the cutoff

please elaborate, whats the cutoff

The cutoff is the point at which the intense light from HID and LEDs stops. This is so it does not cause excessive glare to the oncoming drivers. You can see this when HID's and LEDs are installed in standard reflector headlights. Below is an example of these. The image on the right is what a nice sharp cutoff should look like. The cutoff on the Lariat OEM LEDs is similar to the right, but had a nasty dip to the left of the point where the cutoff angles up. This is likely to be to reduce the glare to oncoming traffic, but produces a fairly odd beam pattern. I suspect this is due to the plate design inside the projector housing as well as the lens being a modified Fresnel design instead of it being optically clear with no secondary focus points or rings.

The left being that with HID's in reflector housings.
