Morimoto Headlight Issue

A little background: I've had Morimoto's since 2020 and within a year my driver's side headlight required replacement as the low/high beams flickered out, and ultimately never came back on.

Default Morimoto Headlight Issue

A little background:

I've had Morimoto's since 2020 and within a year my driver's side headlight required replacement as the low/high beams flickered out, and ultimately never came back on. Morimoto's warranty has come in clutch as long as I provided original purchase order; which was easy to pull from my Z1 history. Replacement was sent, swapped in, and sent back the defective. Problem solved.

Fast forward to 2023. My Z was in the body shop from tussling with a racoon in late 2022. Upon receiving my Z a few days later my passenger side headlight began experiencing the same issue. Morimoto has been great and quick at sending a replacement. However, I'm now in September and on my third passenger head light. Nissan installed one during the summer, and the latest installed by my local body shop as well.

Morimoto has been great and told me the lights were defective. Although, I'm awaiting feedback for the current one installed. I find it increasingly hard to believe that I continue to receive a defective light.

I'm asking the community if anyone has had a similar issue or if there's any trouble shooting I could do myself. I briefly read some inconsistencies with installing the additional turn signal connector (If I'm not mistaken). I'm beginning to think my aging Z may have an electrical culprit somewhere.

I am attaching a few videos displaying the lows/highs not functioning and the blinker flashing white instead of amber.

I love the look of these as well as light output versus my old OEM. However, I really just want them to function as described. I have no ill will towards Morimoto they've been great at replying and sending a replacement, but I just want my headlights to work.

Any insight or help is appreciated!
