About Morimoto

We redefine the automotive aftermarket for high intensity lighting. Taking the poorly lit back roads has never been more exciting with Morimoto powered headlamps. Morimoto lighting was established in 2008 to fill the gap in the aftermarket for truly high quality automotive lighting products. Without the budget of a major automaker to back R&D and production, individual consumers could either salvage original equipment components, or be forced to settle for inferior aftermarket parts. If you are an enthusiast, a fabricator, or a distributor and have found yourself unimpressed with the dime-a-dozen HID kits and accessories from other manufactures, then we urge you to take a closer look at what we have to offer. Search the web for an alternative name in lighting that comes more widely recommended by end-users for performance, reliability, and the way it looks and if you can find it, then buy it. Morimoto is the automotive lighting benchmark.

Product Details

No Comparison: When it comes to HID bulbs, Morimoto has always brought us the best in the aftermarket, and their latest examples are no exception. Sure we think the options from Philips and Osram are great too, but when it comes to bang for the buck – nothing compares to the Morimoto XB HID lineup. Compared to any original D5 bulb; the XB’s will produce more lumens, project farther, and look better doing it. First Mover: Since the introduction of the D5 bulbs to original-equipment world, there’s been a couple shoddy attempts by the aftermarket to offer an upgrade – nothing more than D1 bulbs with wiring rigged to their inputs that A) didnt fit properly, and B) required splicing the factory harness. The XB D5 from Morimoto is the FIRST bulb that’s designed to be a true D5 upgrade. Factory fitment. Factory wiring. Aftermarket First! Luminosity: Sure it’s nice to be able to pick a higher Kelvin like 5500K or 6500K, but that’s not even the best part! All Philips and Osram D5 Bulbs only run at 25W, but the integrated ballast in the base of the XB pumps out 35W. What that means for you? An easy 40% bump in output compared to stock bulbs! Paired with the cooler Kelvin rating that not only looks better, but provides better contrast while driving at night – the XB D5 bulbs are undoubtedly the best way to boost the performance from your headlights. Precise Alignment: Morimoto’s Symmetry-Structure frame surrounds the base of the glass capsule keeping everything properly lined up, which is paramount when it comes to HID bulbs. In the past we all agreed that precision wasn’t the strong suit for the XB bulbs… but the latest are indeed the greatest – and they’re now consistently well-aligned, which is a good thing – because it means the output is also consistently bright and uniform throughout. [Applause] Compliance: The XB bulbs are built to industry-standard specifications and meet/exceed all SAE, DOT, and ECE requirements, making them a perfect match for a replacement bulb or upgrade!
