COMPLIANCE
APPLICATION: HID and LED bulbs are street legal in the USA for Fog Light use only. Not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108 and not street legal in the USA for Headlights. Legal for off-road use in Snowmobile and ATV headlights and off-road racing use only auxiliary or forward lighting. International street legality varies by country. For detailed clarification on street use, CLICK HERE
Note: This usage regulation is not unique to this item. All LED and HID bulbs from all other brands, regardless of marketing claims, are prohibited from street use in halogen headlights in the USA.
HOMOLOGATION ECE: NO
DOT/SAE/FMVSS108: NO (NOT STREET LEGAL IN HEADLIGHTS IN USA)
INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS
Renowned: The Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best set of HID's. We urge you to check out the specs below, Read the reviews and then ask yourself whether your ability to see well while driving at night is worth saving a couple bucks?
NOTE: This kit is designed specifically for the newer MINI COOPER fog lights with OEM H13 bulbs
HID Ballasts: Designed in California by Morimoto's engineer, Yoshi Ishida, the Morimoto XB 2.0 HID Ballasts are just as good looking on the outside as they are well-engineered on the inside. They are available in both 35w and 50w versions, use proprietary software by the pros at Hylux paired with packaging perfection from the masters at Morimoto. This is today's most modern iteration of a model that has sold more than half a million units since inception, and we don't think it can really get any better!
HID Bulbs: The Morimoto Elite HID bulbs feature ceramic bases for precise alignment giving you a clean beam pattern. Quartz glass tubes to minimize UV output and maximize luminosity. Their Praxair (US) metal halide salts produce very accurate color temperatures in the 4K, 5K, and 6K range.
Wiring: The special Bi-xenon Harness features an all-new weather-pack extruded aluminum relay, 14 gauge stranded copper wire wrapped in durable black tech-flex mesh that looks like a factory harness once installed. No cutting or splicing here: all connections for this Bi-xenon Relay are plug-n-play. Most importantly, this harness includes the proper resistors and capacitor to absorb and smooth out the pulsed signal from the factory fog light circuit that plagues these cars.
Backed Up: Let's not forget the 5-year warranty on the entire kit*. The Morimoto Elite system is designed to run for 2500 hours, so that's what it's guaranteed for. Don't buy into empty promises from other places offering BS "lifetime" warranties. Nothing lasts forever, and if you think "the other guy" will be there to pick up the phone or even stay in business long enough to assist you when there's a problem; guess again! [*XB55 Mopar HID kits have a 3 year warranty]

Outstanding performance (Honda civic 2011 coupe with A103ET6W101 headlights)
by Arturas
Ordered that Morimoto H1 HID elite kit (50w ballasts), arrived yesterday, installed right away. My first impression was - Oh my!! These bad boys give so much light they are bright as sun but at the same time don't blind oncoming traffic or cars in front, light pattern is incredible. Intentionally ordered 5000K with 50w so they would become 4000K with more lux output.
Overall install was rather easy, if you are familiar with automotive electronics and your arms are growing from shoulders - you should not have any problems what so ever.
The only downside is - HID kits have much more wiring and couple more control units (ballast, Standalone CANBUS, igniter) hence takes more space as opposed to LED kits.
Other than that I'm very happy with the purchase and I want to thank HR for their educational videos on Youtube which helped me decide what I want and what I need to make it work!
Thank YOU!
