- If I wasn't making a video, these could have easily been done in about 20 minutes. The visibility is greatly improved, and I think it's definitely worth the cost. If you're interested in this particular kit, here is the link: www.theretrofi...
Those look great!
I have converted most of my GTO's lights to LEDs, but have been holding off on the headlights and fog lights due to their price and how varied their designs seem to be.
Thanks for the video! Just got a 2017 Si Coupe (2 weeks ago) and ordered the Morimoto kit today after watching your install. Nicely done.
Do you still have these installed on your Civc? If so, how do you like them?
AWSOME video! Your answering all my questions before I purchase a civic. I was really thinking of going with the auto CVT since I've been driving standard for years. I think you made me change my mind with your last video👍
Keep up the videos.. You just gained another subscriber
+jdbbs1 Awesome feedback! Glad I could help. That's for subscribing!
Looks awesome makes the car look alot better especially since it now matches with the day time running lights.
just picked up my Civic yesterday and will be doing this soon. Thanks for the video.
+616 PC Repair Awesome! Congrats on your new car.
Import Car Enthusiast Thanks. I wanted the EX-T but ended up getting the EX with the 2.0l in the Aegean blue.
616 PC Repair I got the EX too. Have u changed ur stock lights to LED's yet? If so, how's it doin?
This was nice in simple you should do a night drive
An idea i've had for my civic is to install some clear side markers in front of the wheels. I pretty sure that they are clear from the factory in Australia and in Europe. You may also be able to find a black grille that fits from a euro/aus spec civic.
Great video! Just ordered mine too for my '16 Civic from TRS, can't wait to install.
+ThatDudeMiguel Sweet!!! Let me know how you like them!
Do you still have these on your Civic? If so, how do you like them?
Very clean install, always a good upgrade for any halogen projector housing oem. Not exceptional LED performance but very nice upgrade and color change vs halogen.
Big improvements, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this helpful video, i subbed to your channel since I'm planning to buy civic next month.
p.s
11:14 i like how the logo of your shirt is glowing orange.
That looks sweet! Just bought a 2017 Civic.
Brad Hacker me too!
Even honda led headlights come up with multiple led and projectors on each side. That means we won’t be able to get the same light output as hids or even halogens.
The LED lights look great, nice video and make more!
Great video, thanks!!! I just got same car, and I have a question: do I need to buy a anti-flicker links. What are they for? Thanks in advance.
+Eugene Rav You don't need anti flicker. That's only needed if the headlight bulb is also the daytime running light.
Thanks for prompt reply!
Hey,ICE. got same question as Eravus, but seems been answered. just wonder is anti-flicker just or DRL? it's not bacause some car has CAN-BUS system, the anti-flicker need to cheat the system?
+fan yang the anti flicker is needed if your low beams are the DRLs too. (or high beams are DRLs if that's what you're replacing)

I have a question I have just purchased the 2017 civic ex for my soon to be 16 yr old daughter. The light out put on original lights are horrible, they need to be gone but places i looked at have different size bulb suggestions. If I may ask what bulb size should i buy? Thanks for your help
How well does this kit seal, as to keep out moisture from getting inside the headlight assembly?
+tischlerbmw21 I haven't seen any moisture in the headlights
I installed 12000LM LEDs into the same civic as in the video.. and bam, it is pure white and better than halogen with no shitty weak ass light throw.
You did a great job instructing how to replace my Honda civic headlights with leds. Now, what about the high beams
or should I not bother and would there be enough room for the driver and all zip ties lol
Great video. I will be going the HID route, though. A bit more work involved, but better light output and much quieter.
HID'S SUCK!!!!!! OH, AND THEY ARE VERY OVERPRICED!!!!
I have the 2016 Accord Touring and they come standard thank God, they are bad ass. The visibility at night is amazing! Good video bro and congrats on your new civic. How do you like it so far?
+GBraidi78 I love it!!!
I bought some of these for my honda also but they dont throw the light that very far
You can never get the same output. Even OE led headlights come with multiple led projectors.
You could get couple of velcro to secure the drivers instead of using zip tie.
HI, MY FRIEND. can i know how many watts you're using for your LED lowbeam?, because original halogen bulb for civic is 35w for each.because i also want to change my civic lowbeam too.
Quick question to anyone. What is the point of the driver? Whats it doing?
some cars has a error light come on cause led use way less power your car thinks the bulb is burned out
Thanks for the video!
Trying to find out if the same headlights you ordered can be used in the fog lights....will the same size (H-11) fit in the fogs? I want the fogs and the headlights to match so I don't want to buy 2 different brands of LED's
TyTyCivicSi yes you can run them in your fogs too, I did the same thing
How I it in the rain on wet roads? For the money you spent you should have gotten hids.
Question! I've Honda Civic 2013 LX, want to change the main large bulb (while tuning light at night ) that is 9006 in my car so I have to buy base on that LED ? also daytime running bulbs also need to change (9005) in my car with led to make all 4 bulbs in white LED? did I understand correctly.
Sweet man that was great
What are the color on the these LED lights? Are they white, or do they have a blue hint? I know the Honda Civic 2017 has an LED daytime running light curve already, but it has a blue hint. Do these have a blue hint or a white light?
Two years on, how are they now?
Hi, thanks for the video. I am checking on theretrofitsource and they show that morimoto h11 led is for fog light and morimoto 9006 led kit is for low beam. Whereas honda manual says h11 for low beam. And you are also fitting h11 in low beam. Can you please give your input on this?
Hi, just wondering what is the lighting distance or i guess also called the throw on these? More then or same as Halogen but less then HIDs?
Nice video Matt. Thinking about a similar kit for the C.
If you have projector lights, then I would totally do it!
Import Car Enthusiast I think they are projector. I forget atm lol
Import Car Enthusiast hey bud thanks for the video one question I just purchased a 2017 Honda civic hashback four-door with a 1.5 turbo engine does it take the same headlight number H 11 and do you know what bulb does it take as well for the fog light thanks bud
+rob San H11 is the low beam headlight and H8 is the fog light.
would it work for the 2017 civic hatchback ex?
Good video. Thank you.
Nice job.
Great video! Any idea on the longevity of the cooling fans in the Morimoto 2Stroke LED bulb?
+Eric Shen Not sure on that, unfortunately.
I was waiting for black Friday to pic up a set for my 2016 civic. What are your impressions of the distance and spread of light on the road at night?
It's basically the same as the halogens as for was the distance. The LED lights are much brighter and whiter, which really does help a lot.
Did you get any sensor error notification when you turn on the engine?
Cool vid! I also bought the H11's 2stroke LED kit for my 2016 Accord sport. I notice you can also install the heat sink facing downwards. I was wondering if it makes a difference to have the heat sink facing up just like in your vid? I appreciate your time!
+IFBB Pro Deenomite I'm not sure. I honestly didn't pay much attention to where it was facing.
quick question dude. I have a 17 civic hatch, connected everything fine but the driver doesnt snap all the way into the stock headlight connector and they wont turn on. I'm wondering if I need something else? Any help would be great thanks!
+Tony Licup If you used the adapter they should fit just fine. Maybe the sent you the wrong bulb?? Idk, just a thought.
SO NO DUST COVERS TO KEEP THE WATER OUT OF EVERYTHING??? INTERESTING.....
Does this kit cause any interference on the radio? Planning on installing on gf's civic 2017. I purchased a DDMtuning HID kit for my Accord 2011 and it messes up my radio whenever it's turned on.
+Mark Lawrence Galvan I haven't experienced any of those issues
Do you have some night driving so we can see how they preform
Looks gr8 man should do a nite drive video
How are they holding up. I've had bad luck with other brands
Will they blind the other drivers? and do they match with the DRLs (in color)?
The video was really useful, thank you!
+TheBlackGhost970 Yes they match the DRLs. And no, they won't blind everyone because they're in a projector housing.
Did you have to adjust headlight height and do they blind
Hi, did you use the included input adapter ? Did your led headlights power on at first try ? I just installed mine today on a 2016 civic ex, but it just won't turn on. Also the plug that connects the bulb driver end to car battery is kinda tight, did you push it all the way in ? Thank you !
+yamin huang I used the adapter and they plugged in smoothly. Worked first try.
Make sure you use the extensions that come with the setup. For some reason those are required (my theory is that even though it looks like the connectors go deep enough they don't without the extensions)
How loud are the fans? also how long was the life span or are you still using them?
Im assuming this fits the 2017 Crv?
Did they come with the dust cap cover extensions?
You replaced the high beams, not the low beams! The low beams are the ones on the most lateral part of the car.
+PwnZzZZ [HD] I replaced the low beams
Did you order the Anti flicker Harness? I'm not exactly sure if I need it... Do you have any issues with flicker?
+fshams55 You don't need the anti flicker device on this car
Hi have you had any problems or concerns with the led lights?
I'm am interested in buying some for my Civic
Thank you
+Miguel Martinez I have... I ended ip going back to the halogen lights because the passenger side kept blowing out. My best guess is that the heat from the turbo (which is offset to the passenger side) was killing it.
How’s it looking in the rain .
Those look great. How have they held up since you installed them?
+Michael Higgins they've been great!
where did you buy them? nevermind.. lol you put a link
i installed LED headlights and reverse lights on my 2016 civic EX and one day my car couldnt start... do you think the after market lights was the problem ?
+Brian Hui Possibly but it seems unlikely.
Same here took them off and it's good now
Hey can you make a comment about the throw? Like is more then the halogens or the same ? Like how far can you see with them
+msgng1 The throw is actually about the same, since I didn't switch projectors. The light itself is much brighter than halogen
So it's been 1 year and a half. How are they running.
I don't have the car anymore lol
How do you like these LEDs? Any burn out problems? Been searching for a good product
+Christian Bisetti Mine burnt out a couple times on the passenger side so I went back to the halogens. I think the heat from the turbo was causing it.
did u switch out the fog lights? if so did u take off the plastic shield to get to them ?
+dRican91 I have yellow halogen bulbs in the fog lights. You have to remove part of the bottom cover to access them.
Have you tried these for fogs? Just bought a si yesterday looking at my options
+Doom The foodie I have not. If you get them, let me know how they work out for fog lights
How well does it match the led strip, and what color temp did you get?
+Steven Lynch It makes almost exactly. I believe it's around 6000k
Hey, i own a 17 civic coupe ex-t. Installed xenon hid. Sometimes my battery just dies. I feel like the hid is taking too much of my battery. I got sun series 55w 6000k from xenonhids.com
What light output are these? I see you can buy like 5500k 6000k etc. thanks
Never mind. Technical terms of the 2stroke mention 6000k
Hey ICE, nice review... question... I am not tech savvy and not sure if these LED lights require projectors... I have a '17 Golf Wolfsburg and would like to change the stock halogen head lights. If they require projectors, which one would you recommend for the Golf? and, do you know of the H11 would fit? Thank you and looking forward to your input.
+Luis Feliciano I would not suggest putting LEDs it HIDs in a reflector housing that was designed for halogens. I don't know a whole lot about projector retrofits, but I'm sure there's a Golf forum that would be able to help you out.
Sounds good! I will check on that. Thank you for taking time to address my question.
+Luis Feliciano No problem! Sorry I couldn't be more help.
No problem! I appreciate your input! Thanks!
Luis Feliciano not too tech-savvy? you can go to Atlanta to the retrofit source and they could retrofit your headlights for you or you could send them your headlights through mail and they could retrofit for a fee as well.
Did you require 2 kits for high beam and low beam or did you only change high or low?
+John McElroy I only changed the low beam, so just 1 kit.
Import Car Enthusiast HB3/9005 bulbs are the high beams, bought opt7 h11, but their 9005 won't fit apparently, easy to replace old bulbs with LEDs... mass improvement from stocks
so anyone tell me differently,we got the extended warranty on our 2016 ex-t, and dealership told us we cant touch anything in the engine bay or it will void it, i wanted to uprgrade everything to led's but this left me stunned, and bummed out we just wrapped the car in chameleon, put a front lip and a rear top diffuser for now.
+DapitenOSoChurroSarge Channel Ese! why did you buy an extended warranty knowing you're going to modify the car?
its my wifes car, she wants it stock ,wants the engine untouched its her daily driver, i just wanted to do cosmetic things, didnt think lights would be an issue so the car is staying as is for a looooong time .lol
instagram.com/wrapitabq/?hl=en
check it out ,its the latest post, thats my wrapper's page
I don't see any problem you can switch them out and in case anything ever happens in the future with extended warranty, just swap the stock ones back in before taking the car in for work.
How has the reliability been, I guess you have had the lights over a year now. Any issues or such? Thanks.
I had two lights burn out so I ended up putting the halogens back in lol
Good to know, thanks for your reply.
They are garbage lol
Can you do a night time review and show how far is the throw?
Also how do you compare them to OPT7 LEDs?
+SAL I'm not sure. I've never used OPT7
+SAL absolutely!
Import Car Enthusiast still waiting on the night time review!
How long did you take to install the LEDs on your Civic?
+Wish Eric If I wasn't making the video, it would have been about 20 minutes.
High beam bulb size???
did you only change the low headlights?
+Joseluis Aguila Yes
10:55 that's when you want to turn off your speaker.
Getting flashed at all on the road?
+Veydin Nope. Not at all.
Oh no sorry
Thanks for the reply
Make some more videos to check out
:)
My 2017 Honda Civic Spirt comes with LED anyway
The 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback did not get an Si edition, instead it got a 'Sport Touring' edition. Lookup '2017 Honda Civic Sport Manual Hatchback'
use stick on velcro
have you done the fog lights yet?
+JUStCALLMEZIMM I just have halogens in them
Import Car Enthusiast I'll be doing leds on both. you o 10th gen civic page yet?
anyone else spot that the bulb looks like its designed to look like a piston lol
Adam Talbot that’s the name of the product
its called morimoto 2 stroke
What size? Thanks...
+Jaque Elegido H11
thanks
This sucks I thought it was as simple as just changing the bulb :(
lol. How is this not simple?
How do you compare these with the OPT 7?
Salman I regret the Opt7’s so badly...
you are very cute.
Just go hid.
How long is the throw? I have opt7's and I don't think mine are far enough
Throw is about the same as the holgens, maybe slightly further. The real difference is in the light output or the brightness of the light.
Do you need to retrofit at all or does the car come with projectors?
+Jon Silva It comes with halogen projector
Are these replacements for low-beam only or both low and high beam ?
+Keimeko Scotland They have kits for both low beam and high beam, but I just did low. I don't use the high beams very much so it would have been a waste of money for me.
thanks for the reply
