INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS
No Comparison: When it comes to HID bulbs, Morimoto has always brought us the best in the aftermarket, and their latest examples are no exception. Sure we think the options from Philips and Osram are great too, but when it comes to bang for the buck - nothing compares to the Morimoto XB HID lineup. Compatible with 35W and 55W: The XB's will produce more lumens, last longer, project farther, and look better doing it.
Lumin Osity: At the heart of the XB H11B bulbs is their perfectly aligned 100% Philips quartz glass that houses a capsule from APL-USA. Using high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer, the bulbs produce nearly the same lumin Osity (intensity) as the amazing Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night. In our comparison to the big brands, Morimoto's XB capsule ran with the best of em!
Long Life: The Austrian-sourced Plansee electrodes help keep the bulbs running brighter for longer. In comparison to a Philips bulb with 200 hours of use, the Morimoto will maintain 83% of it's intensity whereas the Philips bulb will retain 86%. Yeah, the Philips maintains a little longer, but this kind of longevity is unheard of in the aftermarket. We're impressed!
Precise Alignment: Morimoto's Symmetry-Structure frame surrounds the base of the glass capsule keeping everything properly lined up, which is paramount when it comes to HID bulbs. In the past we all agreed that precision wasn't the strong suit for the XB bulbs... But the latest are indeed the greatest - and they're now consistently well-aligned, which is a good thing - because it means the output is also consistently bright and uniform throughout. [Applause]
Industry Standard: The XB replacement HID bulbs are built to industry-standard size specifications and are compatible with all ballasts with "AMP" outputs - making them a perfect match for a replacement bulb or upgrade! We've tested them here in the shop for reliability with all ballasts from Morimoto, Hylux, ACME, Denso, Hella, Bosch, and Koito and passed with ease.

Quality Bulbs!
by Micheal -
These are a great choice for your HID needs. Nice quality and great output.
Excellent product
by Bill
Ordered these as a replacement for another brand. Quality is much better than the previous aftermarket bulbs. All plugs fit perfect. Super easy to install. Highly recommend!
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Vast improvement over the standard halogen fog lights. Wide view with clear cut off. I'd say with the fog lights I have now versus the previous halogens, It's well over 110% improvement. Used these along with a canbus relay (to eliminate the bulb out warning) and ballasts work perfectly. You can't go wrong with Morimoto in any situation when it comes to vehicle lighting.

Beautiful
by Fahd Yehia
Installed in my 8th gen accord coupe and I'm really amazed
I got 5500K with XB55
And the color is white only, without any tint of blue
It looks more like the OEM halogens but 3X brighter in my opinion
I felt MAJOR Difference and it's by far one of the best mods I've done
If you want the OEM HID look with a slight blue tink I think you should go for 6500K with the XB55 ballast
Awesome HID bulbs
by Aaron Nuhsbaumer
Not all HIDs are created equal. Bought these to replace some no name brand hids I bought off amazon. These are noticeable brighter and the alignment is perfect. I was actually shocked at how much brighter these were. I will definitely be buying from these guys again.
Best Bulb for Prius 3
by Felix
I bought it for my Prius gen 3 2012, compared to my old chinese HID bulb (CNLight), no more ground shadow and much better light pattern.
I am really satisfied and I have now a OEM quality HID light system...
(well, I think the HID Planet guys will not approuve...)
Beautiful
by Ernesto
Just plain awesome! Spent almost a week researching for a decent HID kit then I finally came across this! Awesome. You guys are the best to deal with. I like the 5 year warranty and fast shipping! I was so happy with the outcome that I recommended this site to most of my co-workers. Well, they got busy ordering a morimoto HID kit to replace their current chinese made HID.
