My Morimotos arrived today. I'm going to install them very soon. I'm also going to do a tutorial write-up. I know there are already a few for HID kits, but given Morimotos use Heavy Duty Relays that connect directly to the battery, this kit is a bit different. I'll also make it detailed in my usual obsessive fashion.

Oh, and theRetrofitSource will also give me cash back or store credit for a tutorial post of their product. Kekeke. :mrgreen:

Post up your beam pattern once you get everything dialed in!

I installed them last night. I took photos for a tutorial I will post tonight.
The kit works well and the HD relay sets it apart from most other kits.

How did you aim the lights? I found that I can't have a flat horizontal beam due to the fact that we're using halogen projectors. The high beams and DRLs would be misaligned vertically. I had to follow something similar to this picture:

Insanely detailed HID installation write-up now posted.
Posting this took me as long as installing the kit.
Enjoy.

Can't see any of the pix on iPad - who are you using to host the photos?

Direct upload to the site.

They show up on my iPhone5. It's an insane ~35 photo tutorial. Practically hand-hold a viewer through it.

Are you using tapatalk? I have this issue too and I think it's something to do with the way the forum handles attachments that are inserted into the body of a post.

Pictures load on the mobile site though

Yes, Tapatalk - about 1/2 the time your pix load and the other 1/2 they don't

Oh, look what was delivered today:
