I've just installed these yesterday, I know this is prominently a US based forum, but did anyone get the RHD version of these? I've had to extend the DRL wire since there's no way it is long enough to reach the fuse box and the closest headlight to it, wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Also, in the instructions there a small box stating that for sequential indicators, you have to leave the orange and purple wires connected. However, there was a separate bit of paper that said the opposite, as well as every install video I see says to disconnect them. Anyway, I disconnected them but still only have solid indicators. help

Are you sure you disconnected the correct connection? There are two places where the wires are already plugged in (the other two connectors are for the main headlight harness and the fuse relay harness). Make sure you disconnect the correct one, which should be the black connector (not the white connectors).

For RHD cars I'm assuming your battery compartment is on the right hand side (in front of the passenger seat) and your brake fluid reservoir is on the left hand side (when standing in front of the car looking into the engine bay, so brake fluid reservoir is in front of the driver on RHD layout). With that being said, shouldn't the fuse relay harness be the same? Short side attaches to the passenger (side with the battery) and long side attaches to the driver.

Oh and FYI to anyone who cares, the prices went up to $1275.00 on The Retrofit Source's website so if you can find a spot to sell it to you for the original $1150.00 then do it ASAP.

The cutoff seems quite high in that video. I've read a few accounts of people having difficulty setting the correct height.
Would like to see a before and after with cutoffs marked on a wall with the car at a specific distance from said wall.

Yeah I definitely have the black one disconnected. After looking through the sheet one more time, it does say that if the OEM bulbs have been replaced in the tail lights, the sequential wont work. To fix this you need to change the resistor, can someone explain what this means to me? :confused:

Also, I'm assuming that having the fuse box on the left side of the bay, it means the fuse you swap out is quite close to the headlight. The fuse being on the top left of the fuse box and the fuse box being on the right side of the car for me, means that I've gotta bring the wire across the whole box and turn it back into itself, otherwise it won't shut. It's difficult to explain, and this probably sounds like nonsense, but thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was having that problem. Easy solution to that though!

They come from the factory that high, sorry don't have a before and after pic but you definitely need to adjust them, I adjusted mine super close to stock height, marked my stocks cutoff with blue tape 25ft away from a flat wall on a level surface and adjust the morimotos to match as close as I felt comfortable to adjusting, they are probably slightly higher than before, adjusting them was really easy actually, just need a wide enough flat head screwdriver to be able to turn the adjuster.

For our RHD friends.

Looks like they were trying to use the wrong fuse box by the battery. Shouldn’t have to run the harness inside the car. Also, even with the battery on the other side, it should reach both headlights. Thought I read someone else say they had to extend for EU installation?

Yeah they got the wrong fuse box, honestly I did the same, is a little strange for a fuse box to be hidden as much as that one is when the others are very accessible. Yet, at the same time, if I'd have read the instructions properly and paid a bit more attention, I would of got it right to begin with.

As for the length, there was no way I could get it to fit without an extension to the wire, but this wasn't a difficult job at all, only had to add about 4" to the end.

I'm curious to see what your fuse box looks like and where it's located in the car. I know that the fuse for the LHD models was on the upper left hand corner of the fuse box if you're looking at the fuses. I also know that you basically have to smash the wire downwards in order to make the box fit because the wires go straight out towards the outside of the box instead of going straight down over the rest of the fuses. Harness was made kind weirdly if you ask me.

Anyone else feel a renowned love for their Z after putting in these lights? I know I have, and I can't help to check out the next car in front of me at a stop light and seeing them reflect off that person's car..:icon17:

I feel the same way. I have been wanting to do something with my lights ever since I got the car last year. But didn't want to leave the car sitting while I shipped out my OEM housings to be modified. It's my daily driver.

There are very few Z's around my area, and I certainly haven't run into anyone with these headlights. I like having something different from others.

:iagree:

I havent seen any 370s here in south florida with them (yet)..:tup:

Just installed mine and it’s working perfectly fine. However after putting back and plugging in everything, my oem drl is not working.

Cause we don't want the same lights everyone else has! :owned:

So weird, after went cruising around a bit, my oem drl is working again

Oh, like every other Z with OEM headlights or maybe those that opened them up modified with halo’s?

There’s a lot more of those Z’s than ones with the Morimoto headlights.

You’re talking about the DRL in the bumper? Had to be a bad connection or a wire. There shouldn’t be anything with the headlights that’s a part of that circuit other than you had to disconnect to remove the bumper.

Exactly my thought because the morimoto headlights had nothing to do with the oem drl on bumper. Was so confused when I finished installation. But after driving around, it just started working again.

As far as installation goes for the headlights it was easy. Only real problem was the fuse relay. The standard size fuse tap wasn’t very secure and closing the fuse cover was a pain. Either the side of the fuse cover was bulging out and can’t close correctly or the fuse would pop out of the socket a little when forcing the cover close. Instead my friend went and picked up a micro fuse tap. Much more secure and just had to mod the tap a little bit so it was easier to close the fuse cover.

Wish I had a camera to take some better pictures because iPhone sucks. Headlights too bright and iPhone just picks up glare. Gotta wait to see if one of my boys wants to cruise and hold they bring a camera.

It's been a while. just wondering what you all think of your Morimoto's? Do you think they are to fancy for a stock roadster?

Yes

Do you mean, yes it's to fancy? Explain why you think that please. Do you have these lights? Was really liking the DRL's on them for my 2010.

Seems pretty obvious you're not going to be modding this car to the extent necessary for this to look good

aggressive, blacked out LED headlights on a pedestrian stock body is whack

these things look good on a stanced car with some aero

The only mods I've done so far are Nismo wheels, wing, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

We know.:tup:

I asked 78works yesterday on their insta when the taillights are gonna be released but no response yet. I’ll update you guys if they get back to me.

So 78works did not get back to me about the taillights but I saw someone else had checked with next level so I asked them, they informed me that morimoto would be releasing them in about a month. 👍🏻

I've had these installed for a month or two now. I absolutely love them. Well worth it.

The only issue involved installation...these are NOT plug and play.http://https://ibb.co/fXRTc85 https://ibb.co/9w0b7Vc

Unlimited potential with OE's you got one option with Morimoto's enjoy! :tup:

Well now I’ve got my OE’s out and can modify those if I want!

But I’m very happy with the Morimotos. I think I heard there is a company modifying the Morimotos, but haven’t seen it.

It has been mentioned in this thread.

Pretty much any of the custom light companies can modify morimotos. Most of the good shops are using Morimoto lights and accessories anyway.

Anyone notice a stepped pattern in the beam of each headlight? Its like each led housing is off a bit, about 25ft away it all looks like one cutoff but when you go farther it starts to turn into 2 separate cutoffs, hope I am making since, not sure if they are supposed to be like that or not?

It'll be interesting to see what the aftermarket mod companies come up with. I guess at that point buyers will be over $2k for headlights though. :eek:

Have any of you guys had any issues with the Morimoto lights yet? I’m seriously considering getting the Morimoto XB lights for mine. I do like some of the other lights more but they are extra expensive plus I’d have to wait on them to be made, whereas I won’t have to wait as long for the Morimotos.

Also, what all comes with the lights? I’m assuming they actually use LED bulbs and not lights built in for the head lights?

And yes I know that’s a dumb question lol, but just wanted to confirm one way or the other.

Unboxing is in the video on page 14.


If there very any serious issues, we would have heard about them by now in this thread.

Mine are starting to look like chit. Ugg, time for some new ones. I don't have DRl's, That means All I need to not do is plug in the extra power wire that goes to the fuse box, correct.

How so and hand how long have you had them? My stock headlights have been starting to fade for awhile now and new OEM lights are pretty much the same price so I’m seriously considering ordering them within the next couple days. Wanted to make sure they work decent after having them installed for awhile, but haven’t found anyone mentioning it. Didn’t know if that’s cause they are good, no one has had them long enough or simply no one has said anything about it yet.
