Yeah I totally agree! You should always aim lights FIRST before you film how they appear on the road because your impression is going to be based on beams that are either too high or too low or both such as this case. Doesn't make sense.
I am in Eastern Canada, got my new 2024 4Runner OffRoad 2 weeks ago and already running those head lights. Love the wide spectrum and the supercharger. I am still on stuck suspension and lower the lights a bit to avoid issues.. Since I will run them supercharged.. Once I get on high beams I can see so far away and dont feel ditch light will be needed.. I did install the resistor, not clear on if i need or not. But Ya Morimoto out done themself with this...
@@TheBenupton I was considering it, I am in Canada. How much you think they are worth with shipping. They are in the Morimoto box ready to go! Oh and they only have been used for 1000 km (620 miles)
Welcome back! No need to apologize for being busy. :) I'm not sure why you'd need something for Halogen when the new unit is all LED. Is it a voltage thing coming off the fuse block? I do like the look of the Morimoto more. I also think it blends better with your existing ambers. Thanks!
@@InGratitudeIam likely because the voltage is designed for a halogen load not LED load. So the little resistor thing is just for originally stock halogen headlights. That’s my best guess
Honestly opinion, I can't justify the $$$ to get these even though they look super sick! But that goes for all headlights tbh and why are they all so expensive! PSA....wicked 4Runner and love all the content you create!
Sick! In the market to get some headlights, I was torn between alpharex or the morimoto since you had both which do you prefer? Also what fog lights you have they match really well with the amber theme?
I was really excited when i first saw these released a couplw weeks back and am glad to see the headlights in action. Curious if you know any specifics on the lens heating (is it physical elements in the lens or a forced-air type heating) or if youve tried running that yet to see how warm the lens gets. I know we dont need it in Minnesota quite yet, but wondering if its worth it. Also, what remote start are you running?
It is area convection heating, no heating element is embedded in lens material to disturb optical output. heating potency is approx about +30C to ambient temp This is to aid breaking ice/snow layer to lens surface adhesion In US scale, When ambient is 30F ( sticky snow) drive speed + headwind speed total 40mph, lens surface expected to maintain approx about 65-70F When ambient is 20F, at total wind speed 40mph, lens surface is expected to be around 60F Important to note this is not designed for boil or evaporate accumulated snow tower overnight parking, it is an aid to break snow layer adhesion, for it to slide off, so snow layer won't accumulate on the lens while driving.
Thanks for the breakdown! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
@@SithLordDarthBane so far, pretty sweet honestly. Beam pattern seems a little bit odd like it ventures too far into the oncoming lane, but also its lower so maybe it dodges oncoming traffic and allows for nice ditch visibility. I need to get more night driving under my belt with these to really decide though.
I wired mine to the inj fuse, but if I’m in low beam while I turn off the car the lights aren’t turning off automatically. Are you running into this issue as well?
I'm debating getting this but i got the shake around 60mph...even after 2 road force balance only 5k miles on it, Ironman lift, method wheels w 33 ko2. Thinking of trading it for land cruiser 1958
I also get the shake at exactly 60mph. 2 road force balance on wild peaks at4’s. Seems like it’s just a 4Runner thing with offroad tires from reading other forums.
best intro on a 4Runner I’ve seen and lemme tell you I’ve seen a F ton
@@hernangutierrez4052 thanks! I really appreciate that. I try to spice the videos up a bit, make them a little more exciting than a basic install.
Good to see you back👍🏻 the 4Runner is looking good💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Sick intro 🏁
@@DreamTruckStuff you know it!
Stoked for mine to ship out. Right now they’re saying mid to late December.
Very cool video and glad to see you back!
@@lucasr5675 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just waiting for the next Land Cruiser vid to drop. 👍🏻
Love the look on the new morimotos.
Really wish you would have adjusted the lights before you did the night drive... otherwise these look amazing!
@@colemaurer5030 They were aimed a little high especially on the left

Are you selling the OEM LED headlights? If so, hit me up.

@@alantacitus I'd have to check on what shipping would cost, and if any duty would be owed. Where in CA are you?

I want a follow up in 2-4 months if the headlights are durable, thanks!

@@wrm787 yeah, they are not cheap…if it’s any consolation the German cars charge double the cost of these for OEM replacements…it’s crazy.
@@wrm787 thanks for the kind words!
You didn’t mention if you ended up needing to install the DRL harness. If you didn’t, do you need to turn on the DRL manually with the stock?
Can I reuse the drl harness from my current older gen Morimoto headlights?
Would you say these are brighter then the alpharex ones you had ?

So I just got these also, how are you liking that beam pattern? Does your driver side headlight have that weird dip/step up?

@@randytran9774 hmm…that’s kind of odd. I haven’t seen that. If you lock the car will they eventually shut off?
Do you have all of your drls wired to your control inputs on your Garmin?
@@justinmoreno380 I do have an engine trigger with all DRLs on them. But I’ve just been using the OEM switch for headlight DRLs to blend in a bit
