Default Morimoto headlights

After almost 5 plus years of running LED bulbs in my factory headlights, I broke down and bought the Morimoto headlights and absolutely love them. Not only are they a lot brighter, but the
LED outline is pretty cool.

I got the hybrids a few months ago. I almost ordered these when they had the 25% off black friday sale, but I wasn't in the mood to try to sell the hybrids. Take some pics in the dark from the driver seat. I'm curious how different they are from the hybrids.

These look great and sure perform well, but $2k for LED headlights is just ridiculous.

I remember when regular household LED bulbs came out, there were 10-20 bucks. Now you can get them for a buck a piece.

Replacement style headlight LED bulbs can be had for as little or as much as you want to pay for them… I know there is going to be the arguing like that they are made in the US, which may be true, but I guarantee that many of the “pieces” of the headlights are from overseas. Most of the electronics in our trucks come from overseas and they wouldnt be made if we had to source from the US only. Wilson footballs and redwing boots are made in the US, not these these lights.

Chick fil a now pays high school students $18.50 an hour which is darn close to teachers and other jobs that require a college degree. Our US system is flawed and those who really believe and support the “made in US” ideology are just uninformed and unrealistic; while these lights are nice, $2k for these lights is just plain crazy.

These do not cost $2000 and you’re going to an unwarranted rant that no one asked for.

lastly, if someone has a college degree and only makes $18/hr, they need to quit their job right now.

Ok cool. Now go rant about something you don't know about some place where people care.
