mds0017 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Okay so first off, I currently have DDM Tuning HID's. Unfortunetly my drivers side has NEVER ignited on the first try. I have tried turning lights off before turning the car off and also starting the car before turning them on. I then installed a relay harness which didnt help. So... I'm going to buy a new kit, from a different manufacterer because I cannot stand DDM's rediculous turnaround time. Anyone tried the Morimoto's from theretrofitsource.com? How much of an improvement would they be over DDM? Also how much of an improvement would Volt be over DDM? And lastly, is there any possibility that I could continue to have the same problem because of the way my car is wired or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the quality of TRS kits forget about the cheap ass DDM kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds0017 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do you had first hand experience? My current plan would be to get new lenses, fill squirrel spotter and put in morimotos. Do you think morimotos are worth the extra money over Volt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.hicksta Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have one a TRS hid kit and so does a friend of mine. Neither of us have had issues. Great build quality and they perform well. Email them or call them and they'll be happy to answer all your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds0017 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone else had any experience with the morimotos? Anyone have a bad experience with the volt HID's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin2334 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have morimotos for about 6 months. Great quality kit all around. Not a single problem with them. I had an install question, called, helped out and emailed me a photo. Easy and great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 personally i didn't like their customer service response it says the kit is for 4th gen LGT, and installation instruction is available Kit came with no instruction at all, so I emailed them with my model year, they reply me with a link to a 5th gen install that just have some words and no pics...

mds0017 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Would anyone care to post some pictures of their morimotos that aren't retro-fitted? Im looking at getting either 4300K or 5000k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 that won't make a difference you'll just get glare, and not so good light output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just ordered the TRS H1 kit. Unfortunately it's backordered until 3/7, but I'm stoked to get it. I have a stupid question...how do you "Fill the squirl finders?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 open up the headlights, take out the projector, bend the tab or use metal filler to fill the hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks drift. I assume that will all make sense when I have the headlights opened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06LegacyRBP Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 i use to have 4300k volt kit on my lgt not bad at all...now i have 5000k morimotos on my nissan and quality wise morimotos wins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal2None Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have the Morimoto bi-xeons and they have been excellent. Not an issue yet for over 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenon expert Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well, we are sponsor here and have been for a long time. I won't comment on a the other product but we can tell you that the Volt is one great kit with excellent reliability. If you have a defective part we send you one right away. No need to return the defective one. That's how rare this happens! Imagine if we had to do this and the kit was not reliable...That brand would have been gone a looong time ago. And it's not made in China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds0017 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well I have had the Morimotos for about a month now, no issues. I went with 5000k and the color is spot on. No blue or yellow whatsoever. I have them set up without a retrofit, and the cutoff doesnt look bad at all. Theres a nice blue streak at the cutoff. I would recommend the Morimotos without a doubt.
