I'm SOL on those - when you go to morimoto projectors - it's impossible to get the lockring and that LED bulb to work together... you'd need a way to seat the led bulb with the projector...

So I'd just go with an LED bulb projector combo as an entire unit:

I accept your apology for assuming I employ cheap parts as well.

I wouldn't put your Morimoto junk in a golf cart.

I'd guess that since Morimoto offers an LED projector with the bulbs part of the assembly, they didn't think (or care) to make the Xenon projector compatible.

I can't speak on the Morimoto but I went with the G5BRT projectors that lightwerkz offers and stuck with the Osram Nightbreaker bulbs.

Nor can I personally, but I learn from others mistakes. I'm not on the internet very much and have seen dozens of complaints about Mori products.
