I just recently purchased the morimoto 3.0’s I put them in the low beams for a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe I can’t believe how much of a difference they made I strongly recommend these LED replacements!!!
Anyone else get really excited when he talked about the heating of the headlight housing during winter? This was the biggest issue for me as I like somewhere with colder conditions!
Same here, we have the wet and heavy snow that sticks to just about anything that's not heated, I need a pair of LED bulbs that produces heat to heat up the entire lamp or at least the lenses.
This will make such a huge difference for your headlights, they will actually be able to reliably melt off that snow and frost! Let us know if you would like help getting them on order, we would be happy to assist you! Have a great day!
I bought these bulbs, they do not heat enough to melt anything. The heat difference between these bulbs and other LEDs is negligible. I was highly disappointed, they just sit in a box now in the trunk unused, waste of money. I installed halogens back in. These LED bulbs are not even as bright as the halogens. Again, huge disappointment and waste of money.
@@rsreidy I would agree, a major dissapointment on the actual usability of the concept. They have the concept right but as for how well it works, it needed another couple years of RND.... The beam pattern is awesome though, just as advertised
@@aidensmith1054 the weather is a bit warmer now so I swapped these bulbs back in. Agreed, beam pattern is spot on. But still disappointed about not generating enough heat for the housing. That was 50% of the reason I bought them. I do have to say they were simple to adjust too. So I’m like 50/50 on them.
@@richterat83my H11 morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 just died. Luckily they come with a 3yr replacement. Hadn't had mine 1.5 years so it instantly paid for itself. You have to send in a proof of destruction photo within 60 days of replacement though but that's a great return policy. I use the sv4s as fog lights and they are nice and bright. I'd use the sv4s as my drl and low/highs but that Morimoto horizon line it throws is a competition killer. Seeing that on the road is bad ass.
I’m happy with my GTR Lighting Gen 3 9008 LED bulbs and wouldn’t change them for the world. Have them on my 2011 Chevy Cruze for almost a year and they work perfectly with my DRL. I noticed they get my brighter when my full headlight system is on. They’re fan-less and have the best beam pattern of any LED bulbs I’ve tried. I’m very happy with this product and would like to thank Headlight Revolution.
I've been rocking these bulbs both high and low on my 2019 Colorado ZR2 since Dec. 2021. I have been very pleased with these bulbs. Factory beam pattern. Great light output. I did need to modify my dust caps to make them fit but it was well worth it.
I just got my New Morimoto 3.0 and they are amazing. The beam pattern shape is exactly like OEM, but the intensity is on a whole other level. There's so much more usable light. And it doesn't blind oncoming drivers. Thanks for the great video that convinced me to get them.
Been running these for about a month on my 2013 f150 with stock halogen headlight. Before they arrived I was worried I was just doing a LED bulb and not a whole light replacement. But the results blew my mind. The difference between the stock halogen and these morimotos is incredible. I have mine adjusted and the beam pattern does match the stock a lot but its significantly brighter. Its also got a very white temp with very little blue or yellow. So far no on-coming traffic has flashed me so im assuming they dont cause as much blinding as some other led/hid options.
Thanks for writing this. I have the same model with halogens and was wondering about these. I was thinking GTR Ultra 2 but I think I will be getting these instead. Still working well for you?
What are your thoughts on this new LED bulb from Morimoto? I personally love the unique heatsink and cooling design. Having an LED bulb that has the ability to melt snow/ice on the lens is HUGE!
I was shopping around for some good LED’s when I stumbled on to the 2stroke 3.0. I thought they looked cool and were at a fantastic price. (Lower than msrp) I bought them not knowing what to expect. Hot damn am I excited now!!! Thanks HR!
I assume we will see a video soon comparing these to the GTR Ultra 2? The sealed fan on the back of these actually makes way more sense for fog lights where the back of the bulb is exposed to the elements. Nice!
Glad you like these lights, they are a fantastic new design! I am sure we will be testing those 2 bulbs down the road, we will totally keep you posted on that! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
In the moment when he mentions, "these bulbs take the guesswork out of choosing the right bulb for your housing", I immediately said: 99.9% of people who buy LEDs for their stock headlights don't give not even one 💩 about this extremely important detail. All they care about is brightness and blinding everyone else at night. These bulbs are wonderfully innovative, it's a shame that most won't get past their price.
Hopefully we will be able to switch some people over, once you see how useable the light is coming out of these it is really a no brainer! That beam pattern has an almost perfect spread, and really pumps out that light!
Holy crap, I literally just bought a pair of these today and I didn't even know they were the best of the best! Thank you so much for the information!!!!!
There is a nice counter to another youtube channel in this, that is so discreet that you wouldn't know it was there, if you haven't seen the other channel's video that discredited HR-Rev's way of testing. Nicely done HR-Rev! :-) And also... Great Video!.... Now... If only Morimote would make an H1 socket as well. (swapped my trucks org headlights for some aftermarked that uses H1's)
Thank you for the support, glad you liked the video! Could you link the video that was discrediting us by chance, just for kicks!😂As for the H1, we do wish Morimoto had come out with that right away, but we are still hopefull that they will release them down the road! We will keep you posted!
2017 Chevy Cruze here with projectors. Ended up returning these bulbs. I half baked measured the light output with my phone and the leds were brighter but not by a whole lot (roughly 1200 vs 1500). Visually they weren’t much brighter either. Their color had a hint of blue which matched my daytime running lights perfectly but I actually wish they were just pure white or as close as can be. Beam pattern was very close to stock. But on the road they seemed to make odd patterns sort of like you’d see when light passes through shaped glass. Didn’t help me see much more than OEM at night. Fan was not loud at all. It did help heat up the projector housing so I’m confident it would partially melt snow off of your headlight. Because bulb sticks out more than halogen my dust caps would not fit. Headlight Revolution was a pleasure to deal with. 8 out of 10 will most likely love these headlights.
I was getting really excited hearing about how it mimics factory beam pattern since that’s priority #1 for me, but my dreams were quickly dashed when I heard it’s still not DOT compliant 😢. I try to always operate above board and it’s a major bummer these aren’t legal for on-road use. I replaced my factory halogen bulbs with Sylvania Silver Star Ultras which was a big improvement yielding brighter & whiter light, but the light output down the road at distance from the factory halogen projectors in my ‘11 Porsche Cayman pales in comparison to the factory HIDs in my ‘04 Lexus LS430 (not surprising) so I’ve been researching drop-in LEDs for months. The beam pattern and distribution of light is great, it just needs to be brighter! Why are LEDs like these not DOT compliant if they reproduce the factory beam pattern, and don’t blind other drivers by scattering light every which way??? 😤😤😤
These bulbs are totally able to produce a OEM quality beam pattern. The only thing that makes them not "DOT Approved" is just that they are not the same bulb that came with the headlight from the factory. They do not mesure it at all, nor do they take the time to test it to see if it will perform safely, they just say it is not legal. Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
Headlight Revolution can't say it, but just buy them and use them, lol... Nobody cares, or is going to check your bulbs to see if they're "legal". What matters is you being able to see at night without blinding other drivers!
For Honda/Acura vehicles where the Hi beam is also the DRL. The MORIMOTO 2STROKE 3.0 is the way to go. They lower output in DRL mode and most important no error codes. One thing to note they do affect your FM radio signal. I have the MORIMOTO 2STROKE 3.0 in my Acura and wife's GMC Acadia. Both vehicles FM radio signal gets some static when the bulbs are on.
We will see what we can do as far as that video goes, but with those bulbs you will sget more light output with the Ultra 2 and V.4s, but you will get a better spread and more usable beam pattern with the 2Stroke 3.0s! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help! Have a great day!
Great video guys! To bad morimoto isn't able yet to engineer the Oslon LEDs into the dual filament bulbs yet. I can see why, but it would be nice to benefit from this new technology in those applications too.
I'm running a set of leds of Ali express which replaced my xenon factory bulb. They link to the D3S connector so no issues and performance wise the LEDs gave the same beam pattern and were overal brighter.
Based on morimoto specs these are 2600lm at 25 degrees Celsius. Compared to Morimoto HID at 3200lm. Problem with LEDs are once they get to temperature they loose 25-30% brightness. So if my math is right morimoto hid kit is still 80-85% brighter than the their own led in actual use. Would like to see them compared though at temperature. If the Morimoto led Hotspot is better than hid then this could negate the difference though.
This LED bulb is not to replace the HID bulb, it is around 2,100lm at the upper working temperature also described in the spec. Hot spot strength is all dependent on optics, and the general tendency is studied very strongly with low beam reflector optics. 2,100lm distribution of 2stroke 3.0 and HID bulb is completely different. LED has Lambertian emission and center 50% peak emission hit the far outer segment of the reflector, which generally creates a hot spot. Nearly half of the emission power is hitting the hot spot corresponding segment of the reflector, it can display reasonably stronger peak intensity relative to light source lumen volume. It's a bit more complicated than comparing point light source lumen to lumen. In projector optics, 2 stroke3.0 hotspot increase is mild. This is the nature of the projector optics because the projector uses direct above and below ( 12 and 6 o'clock) engle emission to create a hotspot. And 2ST3.0 uses high density LED, it has a less accidental overlap to create beam center intensity compare to larger LED chip LED bulb, which can have accidental beam overlap to increase beam center intensity but do compromise beam quality by shifting the hotspot or adding a significant level of foreground illumination.
@@yoshiishida6577 Thanks so much for this info. I've been on the fence between the 2ST3.0 LED and the Elite HID for use in a halogen projector. Your explanation clearly tells me that HID is still superior than LED. Cheers.
I currently have the 2.0’s in the AlphaRex (knockoff morimoto xbs) Ram assemblies and the visibility is amazing. I can see from edge to edge of any road I drive on without blinding other drivers. So if these are any improvement over the 2.0s, that’s definitely impressive
I recently picked up a pair of these from you guys. They light up the road better than the HIDs in my S2000. So far the light pattern doesn't look like it's causing any glare for oncoming traffic which is nice. I'm considering them for my wife but she has reflector type halogen lamps not a projector like mine so we'll see.
Which is better for offroad use, H4 in an older SUV, these or the GTR? I like these for the sealed design. Think river crossings, lots of water, and lots of mud.
The Morimoto bulbs will not have quite as much raw lumens, but they will provide you with a much cleaner spread of the beam pattern, which will give you more usable light down the road! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help! Have a great day!
I can't really say one is better than the other, but the 2Stroke 3.0 will work the best in the most amount of applications! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!

Not as much foreground light, which I sorta enjoyed. But did gave the range i needed. With the gtr lighting, Even if I adjusted the light. Itll be stupid bright and glaring on coming traffic bc of how unfocus the hot spot was.

@@HeadlightRevolution i have the same question I want the best lights to my Hyundai Tucson 2020 SE high and low I’m between the gtr series 2 and these newly ones! I want to buy right now but also I don’t know which bulbs use my car if you can also help me whit that I want to have the Black Friday promo !
Morimoto are not that much brighter than stock, in my opinion they aren’t worth the price. There are better led options out there, the Lumibright XT1 Gen 2 is one of them.
My application is a '15 Ford Flex with halogen reflectors. Is it fair to say that the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 will perform better and with a more uniform beam in this traditional reflector than the GTR Ultra 2.0?
... ..7:30... That 'reflector cup' is there to give your low-beams a flatter pattern on top, so as to avoid blinding on-coming traffic...nice to see some one in the engineering dept. is looking out for us... But, the important thing is...the location of the LED chips in relation to the original halogen in the headlight reflector itself.
Reference distance was the first priority to begin with in this bulb development, emitter positioning is consistent to standard specification of halogen bulbs. H4 shade cup in this bulb is Not only just average cutoff generator as specification defined. But it also act as virtual secondary illumination point generator by manipulating the ray group which was traditionally blocked to be waisted. By recycling the waited ray group into direct above range illumination ability. it is more than the cutoff shade cup, it is special optical component to achieve illumination angle range enhancer to cover direct above range from the typical 2 sided LED layout design. This helps much better vertical beam gradient and balanced foreground illumination distribution. What is the concern you may have? Feel free to ask me any question about features.
Ok, I JUST bought the Ultra 2 in an H4 for my T100. I'm really thinking about ordering these and giving the Ultra 2s to my dad for his Sienna since he lives in Florida and I live in Pennsylvania where I have to deal with snow.
Hey there, thanks for commenting! I will need you to get me the year for that Sienna, then I will be able to get you some recommendations, and see if those bulbs will work!
For that vehicle, you will be able to use the 2Stroke 3.0 with no issues! That will actually be the one you want since t doesnt have an exposed fan that the dust cover will be interfering with! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help! Have a great day!
I have these in the hi and low in my 2019 Impreza sport and they work well. This is because my High beams are not also the DRL's, the Sport has a separate DRL lamp assembly where most Impreza's have Fog Lights. I also have a set of low beams in my 2013 Outback Limited. I tried them in the Outback's High beams which also double as the DRL's. I could not get them to work in the high beams without flicker. I tried anti flicker modules in line but the bulbs would not turn on so I had to go back to the halogen bulbs in the high beams. I was hoping they would operate at a lower power as the DRL's but it would not do that for some reason as like they said they would.
Awww it looks like no H1 version of these 😭, I have the 2.0s on my 05 taco with after market specD bixenon projectors, they are alright, I think it just needs a bit more power but the projector did make a huuuge improvement compared to the H4 oems. Hope to see the 3.0s in an H1 soon🙏🏻
Most snowmobiles and many ATVs use the H4 bulb. The 3.0 does not use the new chip but has that new reflector cup. Everyone seems to be testing using single filaments, H11, 9005s but what about us? Rarely do you see an H4 review other then by some private individual. We are strictly off-road and ride at night and the dim yellow halogens can hide the next corner or tree you need to go around. Heck maybe even test in a sled as that is never ever done. Could use a skidoo as they have yet to go to led headlights. For the record, even though they are less raw lumens I just ordered up a set of these new 2stroke 3.0s versus a $50 10000 lumen chinese or the GTR csp minis for my newer skidoo. I am hoping for a big improvement over stock in both hi and low beam and not blinding everyone on the trail. Plus now the polaris guys will quit razing me about yellow headlights.
Hey there, thanks for commenting! Thatis totally true, it is very rare that we actually test dual beam bulbs right away when they come out, ususally it will have to wait until we are testing a vehicle specific bulb that is a dual beam bulb! I hope that we will have that video out for you soon, we will keep you posted!
I have a 2014 ram 1500 and bought a set of the Xb headlights and love them. Also got the foglights and I am not a fan. Might look into getting these instead and re install the factory fog light assembly.
Why don't you like thsoe XB LED Fog lights? Anything in pertcular, or something we could help with? Let us know so that we can get you properly taken care of, thanks!
So ... The results on the test wall are relevant, but the birds eye view, is more important and definite the true one. And from all the test you've done ,in that ATV headlight or the SUV. I can clearly see that the light pathen is more scattered and un focused, from the 2 stroke LED . Hmmm ,I believe you have a special love for Morimoto. :))
It is always fun to do those vertical tests, but that is harder to do than one might think! It is all about finding a space that will be empty enough for us to do that, and then we will have to make sure that we can opperate the video drone over that area!

Figures, bought the GTR Ultra 2s a month before these came out so I'd be ready for winter.... if only I'd known these would be out for $20 less if I just waited a bit:(
That is not an issue with these, they are designed to take that heat and function in those sealed headlight housings! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
To perfectly mimic a halogen bulb, the actual led chip setup should be as thin as the actual filament. If you are to take a ultrasonic cutter and cut one of these bulbs in half to see the profile and take a filament and see from the side, would they be similar in tightness!? Using this led chip is just an advantage for size/power/reliability but doesn't guarantee anything else because the led chips must be designed with the reflector unit where they shine the light. And for the halogen replacement bulbs, if they are not exactly as thin as the filament, well, they aren't doing it right 100%
There is no LED bulb currently that mimic filament, but as far as intervals between 2 emission surface, this build is the thinnest in the market. The filament tolerance box is 1.8mm in diameter, 2 stroke 3.0 emission surface interval is about 1.9~2.0mm ( which includes dielectric layer thickness and solder thickness in consideration) Axial reference distance is adjusted to the critical center tolerance zone of the halogen filament specification. It is not a chip that must be designed with a reflector. The reflector is designed around the filament, and to make LED placement as close as the filament is the direct first effort should be made. No matter how accurate you place the LED chip at halogen filament, it still won't display the same behavior as filament. LED has Lambertian distribution, it can not be compared just by positioning. The optical detail is much deeper than that. However, what I can say is no other LED bulb that paid close attention to filament tolerance box size and emission character. HKL emission area is smaller than filament overall YZ cross-section, which is important. Because filament edge does no emit as strong emission as critical tolerance box. 2 stroke 3.0 mimic YZ plane of filament critical tolerance box most accurately. Filament YZ plain cross-section size is 1.4mm x 4.5mm HKL emitter is 1.03mm x 4.33mm
Ok, your videos keep popping up on my feed so I’ll ask the question. After seeing a few of your videos, it’s clear you do your homework but also clear is that you focus on car applications. What about motorcycles? Have spent hundreds on different sets of led bulbs but never found any that I was completely happy with. What I’d like is a defined beam pattern, good amount of light output and the ability to project that light down the road. I’ve had bright bulbs but they didn’t cast it very far. Also had lights that cast it a good distance but the beam pattern was useless. Never found a set that tick all the boxes. Now the more complicated part. Firstly, I’m using a reflector housing, so unless the bulbs mimic the beam pattern of the H7 halogens perfectly, they’re not going to be any use. Then there’s the issue with waterproofing. There’s an adapter that plugs onto the back of the H7 bulbs which makes the pins wider. Then there’s a rubber boot that has a watertight seal around that adapter. The wiring loom has a rubber surround and when pushed onto the back of the pins, creates a waterproof seal. With led bulbs, because they have a wire with the connector on the end, this means that the wiring loom doesn’t push into the back of the bulb to make the connection watertight. Hope all of that makes sense and if it does, any bulb suggestions?
That does make it hard, but we do have one fixed connector bulb, I have linked that for you below! Let us know if you think that will work for you, and we will be happy to get a order going for you!

Great video. However I have tried 4 times to get mine to rotate the collars. I cannot get any of my 11s and 9005 to turn in or out of the housing. What am I doing wrong? How much force does it take? Are they sticky at first? Is it possible I received earlier models that did not have the rotation feature? My research prior was why I purchased this company $325.00. At this point neither of my LEDs are 3 and 9 and will leave them now installed.
It can be sticky, and you will need some force to remove the collars! They are a super snug fit over the o-ring. you wouldn't want them rotating while you're driving!

How do these bulbs compare to the GTR Ultra 2.0? Can you compare them in the same housing as your testing with all the other brands you did, I believe it was a tacoma headlight.
Have you tested to see how these lights react when used in a circuit that switches the ground rather than the power for high/low operation? There are a lot of Japanese and European vehicles that have their systems set up that way since normal incandescent bulbs don't care which way the current is going.
We did just do testing on this to be able to give you a good answer, they dowork just the same on ground switched vehicles! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help!
Hey Headlight Revolution, should I install an aftermarket dust boot with my 2stroke 3's? The oem dust boot on my fj doesn't work with the new bulb. Thanks
What other led bulbs offer this universal twist feature. The led bulbs that use the tiny screw to hold the collar in place suck. These look great, but are there any other led bulbs similar to these?
Please compare the Lumibright XT1 Gen 2 with these please ! I own a pair and they have left me satisfied with a halogen projector application (I finally have a bright hotspot !)

GTR are brighter, while the Morimoto bulbs have a better overall beam pattern. The GTR bulbs have a lifetime warranty, Morimoto has a 3 year. There are trade-offs to each. I would personally go with the GTR bulbs!

Looking to buy a set of h13s and am on the fence between the morimoto or GTR. A year later, any word?
@@richterat83my H11 morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 just died. Luckily they come with a 3yr replacement. Hadn't had mine 1.5 years so it instantly paid for itself. You have to send in a proof of destruction photo within 60 days of replacement though but that's a great return policy. I use the sv4s as fog lights and they are nice and bright. I'd use the sv4s as my drl and low/highs but that Morimoto horizon line it throws is a competition killer. Seeing that on the road is bad ass.
I’m happy with my GTR Lighting Gen 3 9008 LED bulbs and wouldn’t change them for the world. Have them on my 2011 Chevy Cruze for almost a year and they work perfectly with my DRL. I noticed they get my brighter when my full headlight system is on. They’re fan-less and have the best beam pattern of any LED bulbs I’ve tried.
I’m very happy with this product and would like to thank Headlight Revolution.
So glad to hear that you are liking those bulbs, thank you for the support! If you need anything else just let us know, have a great day!
I've been rocking these bulbs both high and low on my 2019 Colorado ZR2 since Dec. 2021. I have been very pleased with these bulbs. Factory beam pattern. Great light output. I did need to modify my dust caps to make them fit but it was well worth it.
Glad you like them!
I just got my New Morimoto 3.0 and they are amazing. The beam pattern shape is exactly like OEM, but the intensity is on a whole other level. There's so much more usable light. And it doesn't blind oncoming drivers. Thanks for the great video that convinced me to get them.
Great to hear!
Been running these for about a month on my 2013 f150 with stock halogen headlight.
Before they arrived I was worried I was just doing a LED bulb and not a whole light replacement.
But the results blew my mind. The difference between the stock halogen and these morimotos is incredible. I have mine adjusted and the beam pattern does match the stock a lot but its significantly brighter. Its also got a very white temp with very little blue or yellow. So far no on-coming traffic has flashed me so im assuming they dont cause as much blinding as some other led/hid options.
Where do you live please, if it's the USA, I understand they are not legal there.
@David Beach not enforced anywhere. Only running a light bar on the highway will get you a ticket
@@davidbeach7187 Seriously?
Thanks for writing this. I have the same model with halogens and was wondering about these. I was thinking GTR Ultra 2 but I think I will be getting these instead. Still working well for you?
@lewis tan - would love a long term update. I've got a 14 and I'm curious how they're working for you. Also considering GTR Ultras. TIA!
What are your thoughts on this new LED bulb from Morimoto? I personally love the unique heatsink and cooling design. Having an LED bulb that has the ability to melt snow/ice on the lens is HUGE!
When do these go on sale? I just checked the website and it won't let you purchase them yet.
Can u do another video of these bulbs but inside of a projector housing
How do they compare to a hid
Rather have a bulb that extracts the heat from the housing vs. circulate the heat inside a housing
These do seem like they are better for non projector headlights, but how do they compare to the GTRs? I've been loving the GTR Ultra 2s.
I was shopping around for some good LED’s when I stumbled on to the 2stroke 3.0. I thought they looked cool and were at a fantastic price. (Lower than msrp) I bought them not knowing what to expect. Hot damn am I excited now!!! Thanks HR!
Awesome! 😁 Glad you're happy with your purchase!
I assume we will see a video soon comparing these to the GTR Ultra 2? The sealed fan on the back of these actually makes way more sense for fog lights where the back of the bulb is exposed to the elements. Nice!
Glad you like these lights, they are a fantastic new design! I am sure we will be testing those 2 bulbs down the road, we will totally keep you posted on that! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!

Just in time for Christmas too. I know what I’m asking my wife for this year 😊

How did it go?
impressive, that's what I call a technician, someone with that knowledge, great video
In the moment when he mentions, "these bulbs take the guesswork out of choosing the right bulb for your housing", I immediately said: 99.9% of people who buy LEDs for their stock headlights don't give not even one 💩 about this extremely important detail. All they care about is brightness and blinding everyone else at night.
These bulbs are wonderfully innovative, it's a shame that most won't get past their price.
would those be the same idiots driving without their lights on at night now?
Hopefully we will be able to switch some people over, once you see how useable the light is coming out of these it is really a no brainer! That beam pattern has an almost perfect spread, and really pumps out that light!

2017 Chevy Cruze here with projectors. Ended up returning these bulbs.
I half baked measured the light output with my phone and the leds were brighter but not by a whole lot (roughly 1200 vs 1500). Visually they weren’t much brighter either. Their color had a hint of blue which matched my daytime running lights perfectly but I actually wish they were just pure white or as close as can be. Beam pattern was very close to stock. But on the road they seemed to make odd patterns sort of like you’d see when light passes through shaped glass. Didn’t help me see much more than OEM at night. Fan was not loud at all. It did help heat up the projector housing so I’m confident it would partially melt snow off of your headlight. Because bulb sticks out more than halogen my dust caps would not fit.
Headlight Revolution was a pleasure to deal with. 8 out of 10 will most likely love these headlights.

I was getting really excited hearing about how it mimics factory beam pattern since that’s priority #1 for me, but my dreams were quickly dashed when I heard it’s still not DOT compliant 😢. I try to always operate above board and it’s a major bummer these aren’t legal for on-road use.
I replaced my factory halogen bulbs with Sylvania Silver Star Ultras which was a big improvement yielding brighter & whiter light, but the light output down the road at distance from the factory halogen projectors in my ‘11 Porsche Cayman pales in comparison to the factory HIDs in my ‘04 Lexus LS430 (not surprising) so I’ve been researching drop-in LEDs for months. The beam pattern and distribution of light is great, it just needs to be brighter!
Why are LEDs like these not DOT compliant if they reproduce the factory beam pattern, and don’t blind other drivers by scattering light every which way??? 😤😤😤
These bulbs are totally able to produce a OEM quality beam pattern. The only thing that makes them not "DOT Approved" is just that they are not the same bulb that came with the headlight from the factory. They do not mesure it at all, nor do they take the time to test it to see if it will perform safely, they just say it is not legal. Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
Headlight Revolution can't say it, but just buy them and use them, lol... Nobody cares, or is going to check your bulbs to see if they're "legal". What matters is you being able to see at night without blinding other drivers!
Awesome video, very nice and interesting to see how led bulbs are being developed and are just getting better and better :-D
It is cool to watch that process for sure, I can't wait to see what these look like a few years down the road! Thanks for commenting, have a good one!
For Honda/Acura vehicles where the Hi beam is also the DRL. The MORIMOTO 2STROKE 3.0 is the way to go. They lower output in DRL mode and most important no error codes. One thing to note they do affect your FM radio signal. I have the MORIMOTO 2STROKE 3.0 in my Acura and wife's GMC Acadia. Both vehicles FM radio signal gets some static when the bulbs are on.
Morimoto FTW! Some vehicles do get some static, but some of these will solve that!

@@Oosik91 really ? How so?

Great video guys!
To bad morimoto isn't able yet to engineer the Oslon LEDs into the dual filament bulbs yet. I can see why, but it would be nice to benefit from this new technology in those applications too.
The chips on the dual-beam bulbs will still produce an amazing amount of light output, so there is not much to worry about there!💪
I'm running a set of leds of Ali express which replaced my xenon factory bulb. They link to the D3S connector so no issues and performance wise the LEDs gave the same beam pattern and were overal brighter.
Based on morimoto specs these are 2600lm at 25 degrees Celsius. Compared to Morimoto HID at 3200lm. Problem with LEDs are once they get to temperature they loose 25-30% brightness. So if my math is right morimoto hid kit is still 80-85% brighter than the their own led in actual use.
Would like to see them compared though at temperature. If the Morimoto led Hotspot is better than hid then this could negate the difference though.
This LED bulb is not to replace the HID bulb, it is around 2,100lm at the upper working temperature also described in the spec. Hot spot strength is all dependent on optics, and the general tendency is studied very strongly with low beam reflector optics. 2,100lm distribution of 2stroke 3.0 and HID bulb is completely different. LED has Lambertian emission and center 50% peak emission hit the far outer segment of the reflector, which generally creates a hot spot. Nearly half of the emission power is hitting the hot spot corresponding segment of the reflector, it can display reasonably stronger peak intensity relative to light source lumen volume. It's a bit more complicated than comparing point light source lumen to lumen. In projector optics, 2 stroke3.0 hotspot increase is mild. This is the nature of the projector optics because the projector uses direct above and below ( 12 and 6 o'clock) engle emission to create a hotspot. And 2ST3.0 uses high density LED, it has a less accidental overlap to create beam center intensity compare to larger LED chip LED bulb, which can have accidental beam overlap to increase beam center intensity but do compromise beam quality by shifting the hotspot or adding a significant level of foreground illumination.
@@yoshiishida6577 great info. Thanks for sharing. Always trying to be better educated.
@@yoshiishida6577 Thanks so much for this info. I've been on the fence between the 2ST3.0 LED and the Elite HID for use in a halogen projector. Your explanation clearly tells me that HID is still superior than LED. Cheers.
I currently have the 2.0’s in the AlphaRex (knockoff morimoto xbs) Ram assemblies and the visibility is amazing. I can see from edge to edge of any road I drive on without blinding other drivers. So if these are any improvement over the 2.0s, that’s definitely impressive

I recently picked up a pair of these from you guys. They light up the road better than the HIDs in my S2000. So far the light pattern doesn't look like it's causing any glare for oncoming traffic which is nice. I'm considering them for my wife but she has reflector type halogen lamps not a projector like mine so we'll see.
Which is better for offroad use, H4 in an older SUV, these or the GTR? I like these for the sealed design. Think river crossings, lots of water, and lots of mud.
Looks like a great bulb. But in an H11 which has better light output, these morimotos or the GTR Ultra2?
The Morimoto bulbs will not have quite as much raw lumens, but they will provide you with a much cleaner spread of the beam pattern, which will give you more usable light down the road! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help! Have a great day!

Morimoto are not that much brighter than stock, in my opinion they aren’t worth the price. There are better led options out there, the Lumibright XT1 Gen 2 is one of them.
My application is a '15 Ford Flex with halogen reflectors. Is it fair to say that the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 will perform better and with a more uniform beam in this traditional reflector than the GTR Ultra 2.0?
Any tests done with projectors with this LED ?
HR any answers?
... ..7:30... That 'reflector cup' is there to give your low-beams a flatter pattern on top, so as to avoid blinding on-coming traffic...nice to see some one in the engineering dept. is looking out for us...
But, the important thing is...the location of the LED chips in relation to the original halogen in the headlight reflector itself.
Reference distance was the first priority to begin with in this bulb development, emitter positioning is consistent to standard specification of halogen bulbs. H4 shade cup in this bulb is Not only just average cutoff generator as specification defined. But it also act as virtual secondary illumination point generator by manipulating the ray group which was traditionally blocked to be waisted. By recycling the waited ray group into direct above range illumination ability. it is more than the cutoff shade cup, it is special optical component to achieve illumination angle range enhancer to cover direct above range from the typical 2 sided LED layout design. This helps much better vertical beam gradient and balanced foreground illumination distribution. What is the concern you may have? Feel free to ask me any question about features.
Ok, I JUST bought the Ultra 2 in an H4 for my T100. I'm really thinking about ordering these and giving the Ultra 2s to my dad for his Sienna since he lives in Florida and I live in Pennsylvania where I have to deal with snow.
Hey there, thanks for commenting! I will need you to get me the year for that Sienna, then I will be able to get you some recommendations, and see if those bulbs will work!
It's an 02 Sienna, both vehicles use a 9003/H4 style bulb.

I have these in the hi and low in my 2019 Impreza sport and they work well. This is because my High beams are not also the DRL's, the Sport has a separate DRL lamp assembly where most Impreza's have Fog Lights. I also have a set of low beams in my 2013 Outback Limited. I tried them in the Outback's High beams which also double as the DRL's. I could not get them to work in the high beams without flicker. I tried anti flicker modules in line but the bulbs would not turn on so I had to go back to the halogen bulbs in the high beams. I was hoping they would operate at a lower power as the DRL's but it would not do that for some reason as like they said they would.
Sorry that didnt work for you! Thanks for explaining what all you tried this is very useful information!
I feel solid state Braided fins cooling 8s best. No fan, No moving parts.

Awww it looks like no H1 version of these 😭, I have the 2.0s on my 05 taco with after market specD bixenon projectors, they are alright, I think it just needs a bit more power but the projector did make a huuuge improvement compared to the H4 oems. Hope to see the 3.0s in an H1 soon🙏🏻
Hopefully we will come out with something for you down the road, we will keep you posted! Thanks for commenting, have a great day!
Most snowmobiles and many ATVs use the H4 bulb. The 3.0 does not use the new chip but has that new reflector cup. Everyone seems to be testing using single filaments, H11, 9005s but what about us? Rarely do you see an H4 review other then by some private individual. We are strictly off-road and ride at night and the dim yellow halogens can hide the next corner or tree you need to go around. Heck maybe even test in a sled as that is never ever done. Could use a skidoo as they have yet to go to led headlights.
For the record, even though they are less raw lumens I just ordered up a set of these new 2stroke 3.0s versus a $50 10000 lumen chinese or the GTR csp minis for my newer skidoo. I am hoping for a big improvement over stock in both hi and low beam and not blinding everyone on the trail. Plus now the polaris guys will quit razing me about yellow headlights.
Hey there, thanks for commenting! Thatis totally true, it is very rare that we actually test dual beam bulbs right away when they come out, ususally it will have to wait until we are testing a vehicle specific bulb that is a dual beam bulb! I hope that we will have that video out for you soon, we will keep you posted!

So ... The results on the test wall are relevant, but the birds eye view, is more important and definite the true one. And from all the test you've done ,in that ATV headlight or the SUV.

That is not an issue with these, they are designed to take that heat and function in those sealed headlight housings! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
This looks very good, but how does it stack up compared to a Hikari Ultra of similar type?
Are these good for 2018 1500 ram reflectors? What size do i need? I have the quad headlights
That is neat you can use it on classic 6 volt positive ground vehicles.
Well.. Not really it will dim on 6Volt.
To perfectly mimic a halogen bulb, the actual led chip setup should be as thin as the actual filament.
If you are to take a ultrasonic cutter and cut one of these bulbs in half to see the profile and take a filament and see from the side, would they be similar in tightness!?
Using this led chip is just an advantage for size/power/reliability but doesn't guarantee anything else because the led chips must be designed with the reflector unit where they shine the light.
And for the halogen replacement bulbs, if they are not exactly as thin as the filament, well, they aren't doing it right 100%
There is no LED bulb currently that mimic filament, but as far as intervals between 2 emission surface, this build is the thinnest in the market.
The filament tolerance box is 1.8mm in diameter, 2 stroke 3.0 emission surface interval is about 1.9~2.0mm ( which includes dielectric layer thickness and solder thickness in consideration) Axial reference distance is adjusted to the critical center tolerance zone of the halogen filament specification. It is not a chip that must be designed with a reflector. The reflector is designed around the filament, and to make LED placement as close as the filament is the direct first effort should be made. No matter how accurate you place the LED chip at halogen filament, it still won't display the same behavior as filament. LED has Lambertian distribution, it can not be compared just by positioning. The optical detail is much deeper than that. However, what I can say is no other LED bulb that paid close attention to filament tolerance box size and emission character. HKL emission area is smaller than filament overall YZ cross-section, which is important. Because filament edge does no emit as strong emission as critical tolerance box. 2 stroke 3.0 mimic YZ plane of filament critical tolerance box most accurately. Filament YZ plain cross-section size is 1.4mm x 4.5mm HKL emitter is 1.03mm x 4.33mm
Ok, your videos keep popping up on my feed so I’ll ask the question. After seeing a few of your videos, it’s clear you do your homework but also clear is that you focus on car applications. What about motorcycles? Have spent hundreds on different sets of led bulbs but never found any that I was completely happy with. What I’d like is a defined beam pattern, good amount of light output and the ability to project that light down the road. I’ve had bright bulbs but they didn’t cast it very far. Also had lights that cast it a good distance but the beam pattern was useless. Never found a set that tick all the boxes.
Now the more complicated part. Firstly, I’m using a reflector housing, so unless the bulbs mimic the beam pattern of the H7 halogens perfectly, they’re not going to be any use. Then there’s the issue with waterproofing. There’s an adapter that plugs onto the back of the H7 bulbs which makes the pins wider. Then there’s a rubber boot that has a watertight seal around that adapter. The wiring loom has a rubber surround and when pushed onto the back of the pins, creates a waterproof seal. With led bulbs, because they have a wire with the connector on the end, this means that the wiring loom doesn’t push into the back of the bulb to make the connection watertight. Hope all of that makes sense and if it does, any bulb suggestions?
That does make it hard, but we do have one fixed connector bulb, I have linked that for you below! Let us know if you think that will work for you, and we will be happy to get a order going for you!

What was the light temp (k) of the bulb tested in the video?
5.7 K look at 1:27
Has anyone here swapped out their D2S HID bulbs for these? I saw that they have this in D2S / D2R / D2H fitments.
Should try it in the 2017 Chevy suburban headlight housing
How does the MORIMOTO 2STROKE 3.0 compares to the GTR LIGHTING ULTRA 2.0 in a projector setup? Which is better?
On test that we have done they are very close to each other. Its hard to say which is better than the other. The warranty is better on the GTR, its lifetime.
Just got these for my wife’s terrain to replace the 2.0’s. Does the need chip technology mean that I don’t need to use the anti flicker module when I hook it up? 2015 GMC Terrain
Great video. However I have tried 4 times to get mine to rotate the collars. I cannot get any of my 11s and 9005 to turn in or out of the housing.
What am I doing wrong? How much force does it take? Are they sticky at first? Is it possible I received earlier models that did not have the rotation feature? My research prior was why I purchased this company $325.00. At this point neither of my LEDs are 3 and 9 and will leave them now installed.
It can be sticky, and you will need some force to remove the collars! They are a super snug fit over the o-ring. you wouldn't want them rotating while you're driving! If you need any help or suggestions on how to remove the collar, please reach out. We'd be happy to help! sales@headlightrevolution.com or 218-755-5200
This is epic!
Super epic!
How do these bulbs compare to the GTR Ultra 2.0? Can you compare them in the same housing as your testing with all the other brands you did, I believe it was a tacoma headlight.
We will have to accurately test them down the road, we will keep you posted when that test is available! Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
Which one better this product or GTR ultra 2 and when you going to make videos about semi 🚛 truck headlights LED
Put them in my fog lights and dammnn they are bright af !
Have you tested to see how these lights react when used in a circuit that switches the ground rather than the power for high/low operation? There are a lot of Japanese and European vehicles that have their systems set up that way since normal incandescent bulbs don't care which way the current is going.
We did just do testing on this to be able to give you a good answer, they dowork just the same on ground switched vehicles! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help!
How are they in halogen projectors?Would love to get rid if hid’s in projectors.
They perform well, but HID is still the bet for a projector.
Hey Headlight Revolution, should I install an aftermarket dust boot with my 2stroke 3's? The oem dust boot on my fj doesn't work with the new bulb. Thanks
Depending on what yo drive you may need to.
which model 2stroke 3.0 would you recommend to replace an H3B? My car moves the bulb to change from low beam to high beam.
I would suggest reaching out to our CS team so we can go over some options with you!

What other led bulbs offer this universal twist feature. The led bulbs that use the tiny screw to hold the collar in place suck. These look great, but are there any other led bulbs similar to these?
Just this one as of right now!
Please compare the Lumibright XT1 Gen 2 with these please ! I own a pair and they have left me satisfied with a halogen projector application (I finally have a bright hotspot !)
Do these replace my hid bulbs in my 2013 ford f 150 limited
For an OEM HID system, it's typically best to stick with HIDs in that headlight. You can upgrade the bulbs or ballasts for more output, send us an email for recommendations!

What lighting do you recommend for 97 toyota 4runner. The pattern in the headlight is terrible. I need a retrofit headlight
Just curious now how these compare to the GTR Lighting Ultra 2.0 that I was about to pull the trigger on and order? Other than warranty cause I don't think you can beat the GTR warranty. I really like the way they cool which is what I worry about with the fans as they see a lot of dust. Hopefully you will have a vid soon comparing these to the GTR lights.
Hopefully we will get a video going for you down the road, we will see what we can do!😃
I have a 2016 civic and 2017 impreza both with h11 halogens. Would these be the best bulb for both cars?
Great Bulb. hard do you have to push to rotate the position?
Are these as an h4 single bulb on a motorcycle a good upgrade?
They are a fantastic upgrade for motorcycles! I ride myself, and have been using the 2Stroke bulbs in both my Yamaha MT07 & my Ducati Monster! Great width on the beam pattern and plenty of hotspot for riding, I highly recommend them!

Hey guys I have a question
I bought these but the lights seem to be “whiter” but not “brighter”. What could that be?
They are installed in a 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited
will these work in my 2019 f250 as headlights, it uses halogen headlights stock. I ask because I can't find a kit recommended for my f250 on your website that uses these morimoto 3.0 leds.
Also, if the pwm module dies but the led unit still works is there any option other than buying a whole new kit since the pwm module on these appears to be hardwired to the led.?
Curious what these would look like on a 4runner with projectors instead of reflectors.
They would do great in that application, I think you would be very impressed! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
I haven’t any knowledge of led headlights. I have a bulb with two wires coming out. From what I looked up it’s 2 waterproof connectors. It says OPT7 on the side. Could you recommend anything?
How works on 2017 dodge ram OEM projector headlights
I have a 2019 ram 2500 and have the Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 and blew one out do I still need the anti flicker module with the new 3.0’s
Shame they do not do a H1. Q. In your opinion, what is the Best overall LED H1 headlight bulb replacement ?. I tried some NightEye H1's and they were terrible, so im back with Osram Nightbreaker Laser halogens at the moment.
I just bought an electric moped and the LED headlight is not very strong. I noticed it is one-sided and casting light up only. Can you recommend a LED light which is 2-sided which will help brighten up my headlight? Thanks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Great video. Thanks. Could you provide recommendations for 9006 low beam led type for 2013 Honda Civic? My daughter’s car’s low beams are dangerously dim.
Thanks for your help!

Great video!
Will the 3 work in a nissan maxima 2018 sv as a headlight as a low beam?
It currently has a halogen in a projector housing! If it doesn't fit what do you suggest? Hid or Led!?
They sure would! No extra parts or pieces needed either, just the bulbs!
Can You Make A Comparison Of The GTR Lighting 2.0 Vs Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0??? What Would Your Preference Be And Why??? Asking For A Potential Future Car.
GTR are brighter, while the Morimoto bulbs have a better overall beam pattern. The GTR bulbs have a lifetime warranty, Morimoto has a 3 year.
There are trade-offs to each. I would personally go with the GTR bulbs!
