3rd get LED headlight pics

asking for pics of anyone who has put led headlight bulbs on their tundra I installed morimoto led 2stroke 2.0 on my 2019 with reflectors and really dislike them the beam is all scattered ??

 

I installed the Auxbeam NF-S1 and they're fantastic. They're fanless and light output is great. Retains halogen beam pattern. Installed then in the fogs as well.

 

Gtr ultra 2

 

Do you have the bulbs orientated right? The LEDs need to be facing left and right

 

@bdpeelgren I need to check so they do need to be a certain way?!!

 

Headlight revolution had a couple videos on YouTube regarding aiming led headlights

 

ok so I went outside and checked the bulbs and there are leds on both sides?

 

Yes, you want the bulb vertical. So the LEDs are facing directly left and right. Do that and you should have a good beam pattern.

Imagine this: { } , is your headlight.
You want this: { I }
NOT this: { \ }
NOT this: { - }

 

I posted a link of bulbs and the way they are in the pic shows the silver cap on tips to be on top and mine are on the bottom so im going to assume I have them upside down? I thought they only went in one way??

 

@bdpeelgren ok I will check it all out again ! thanks for all the quick responses and help!

 

No problem. Let us know if you were able to get it fixed

 

please give me insight !! look at the silver caps on tips of bulbs the two pics on left are my led morimoto 2stroke 2.0 and my factory halogen bulbs and the right pic is the morimoto 2stroke 2.0 bulb from their website the silver cap is on the top not the bottom..

 

@bdpeelgren posted pics

 

I’m not 100% sure on the orientation of the silver cap on the morimotos. But you for sure want the bulb running exactly vertical

Just try both ways and see which way works better. I imagine the cap helps direct the hi or low beams.

 

@bdpeelgren but do you see the pic with the factory halogen the silver cap is on bottom also the placement of the leds is the same as the placement of the fillements on halogen bulbs
??

 

have You tried orientating the bulb different ways to test what works best with your hi and low beam?

 

@bdpeelgren no . I started to rotate the black base then realized the silver cap was on top and the leds were off so I took them out and started to compare them inside...

 

Just put them in and test the silver cap either directly on top or directly on bottom.

 

Hey just confirmed those silver caps go on bottom.

 

@bdpeelgren ok thanks ..!! Awesome I was trying to confirm as well . Well I had them in right. Just don’t know why the beam looked all screwed up?

 

I just installed my own LED bulbs today. I’ll post pictures of mine when it gets dark. I got the supernova v.4s

 

@bdpeelgren ok cool

 

Here’s the cut off from the LEDs I have. Distance is around 15ft. Can’t get much further at the apartment.

 

@bdpeelgren , how are they on the road?

 

Damn, those look better than the OE LED. I feel the OEM is too blue. You have a 19 with halogen housings? I thought after 2018 they were standard LED.

 

Gtr ultra 3.

 

I have reflectors. It will depend on the trim model. I believe you have to get the pro model or platinum to grt led. Either way I'm happy with the bulbs and surely are better than oem stock. For $65 investment for headlights and fogs you can't go wrong. There was no way I was going to spend $160 at headlight revolution. Way too overpriced.

 

Ah I have the Platinum. The OE are nice, but I'm not overly impressed with them. Do the halogen housings still have the [ ] DRL's?
