Trying Out the Morimoto MK5 Supra Heritage-Style Tail Lights (Plug and Play!)
THANKS @Supra_shy for RUINING the intro lol
EDIT: If you unplug the blue plug into the black plug on the tail lights, it will do a startup sequence.
__________
First things first, thank you to Morimoto for sending these tail lights over to me to install and review. I have always been a fan of their products since my Subaru days so when the opportunity came up to install their new tail lights on my car, I had to jump on it.
This video will cover the entire installation process of the tail lights, from removing the bumpers and plugging in the lights. These are completely plug and play so you won't have to tap into any wiring to make them work. Super bright and pairs really nicely with the OEM 4...

R35 is too dated and as badass as the C7Z is, the overall package in my opinion is inferior to the Supra. I'm not talking about just strictly performance. Interior quality and tech of the Supra is superior to the Corvette.

    Great video Vince! I’ve been waiting for a comparison like this! I went from a A91 Supra MT to a ZL1 6 spd and now considering a 6spd 718 Spyder (gt4 vert). The one I’m considering also has a soul performance exhaust, sounds amazing . It’s a weird mixture of cars but loved the Supra, got a great offer on the a91 mt and got into the ZL1, never experienced American muscle before. I’m at the stage where either I modify the ZL1 and get 800 whp or get into another car 718 Spyder!

    Morimoto makes great lighting products! Personally not a fan of the "rings" lighting style. I wish they would've kept classic illumination pattern and globe 3-D circles. For ex (Pass Side Circles Left to Right. 1-2-3-4) When "on".Circles 1-off. (white/reverse only?), 2-solid red, 3-solid red, 4-off (amber turn signal only). When braking, circles 2-3 illuminate brighter for braking. IMO, that would be considered "heritage" style. Either way, I can respect the style if people like the "rings" style running lights. Thumbs up for great quality video regardless!

    • @VinceChristmastree
      @VinceChristmastree 6 дней назад

      Yeah I mentioned on another comment that if we were to just look at the functionality side of the tail lights, then Orion is probably the closest to that. Not enough people run aftermarket tail lights here in DFW that I know of because it would be cool to do a side-by-side with all aftermarket tail lights and a MK4 Supra.

    • @FujiboHeavy

      @@fatal.b58 1) I don't like how difficult it is to remove when it's mounted to the blendmount. Due to the design of it (it's definitely more difficult to get your hands above the detector to remove vs the R7). #2), the volume/speaker for some reason is just not nearly as loud as the R7 was. FOr example, on level 6 in the R7, that thing was screaming at me... I almost have to ride with it on level 7 all the time in the R8 bc I can't hear it as well. #3) it has a delay that even Vortex noted in his reviews. FOr example, it never seems to know what direction the radar is in right when you get on it or just pass it. I also feel like the range was better in my R7. I'd gladly go back but I dont really wanna buy a used one and It's not worth buying retail at the moment. May wait until later to either see if I can trade into uniden or something.

    hey vince! had my supra for almost two years. I haven’t bought a dash cam thinking I would need that black box.. have you had any issues with only going to one of the accessory fuses from your dash cam video? btw, love the car and content!!

      If you want to use your dash cam like a security system of sorts, a la Ring cameras. You should get a battery box for sure. There are some homemade versions you could do. But without a proper battery backup you can’t just leave it on all the time. Maybe if you drive the car every single day and you give enough drive time for the car battery to recharge every day. But I for example leave the Supra in the garage up to a week at a time sometimes. If you keep it connected to a battery tender also maybe you can get away with it. But, I want a security system that captures movements when the car is parked (google parking mode for dash cams) and the ability to remotely log in and view the camera from anywhere. So these things kinda need a battery backup as well as a cellular connection. Edit; but if you only want it to record during actual driving time, you can def run it to an accessory powered fuse

      @ yeah.. i’m really trying to figure out if I should do the black box but I don’t want to cough up the money 😂 I just bought the n7 and I think i’ll be plugging it straight to my mirror

      Thanks Anthony! No issues with previous dash cam setup and so far so good with this one. Battery backup as previously mentioned is probably the absolute safest route to go, but the Viofo dash cams in particular have features where it'll only start recording if it detects something based on the accelerometer and you can have it record the last 1-5 minutes after turning the car off. The dash cam has a small battery to record any parking events, but I'm not sure how long it lasts. Hope that helps!

      That's not too bad. Usually some good deals pop up on FB Marketplace.

    Don’t you think an air-oil-separator kit (more specifically the Verus Engineering one) could be an essential to get too? Aren’t AOS systems suppose to increase long term reliability (especially in turbocharged cars)?

      Not really needed on this platform IMO. I had the Forge Catch Can for example on my stock location turbo setup (stock and Pure 800) and it barely had anything for the 1-1.5 years I had it. I don't have scientific data for this though, just observations.
