You have no idea how the high beam conversion to HID will change the vision in the dark. The morimotos are good with high beam but firing up another set of 55w HID is almost crazy. They take a couple of seconds to get warm but forget everything else you've ever experienced before.
It's well worth to upgrade the high beam circuit.

The OEM H1 high beam is based on a reflector. What setup are you using for high beam HID?

Andy Hodapp used these in high beam

Nice! Looking forward to following your installation and hearing your thoughts.

Did you go for the MotoHo1ders?

More info on them here:

Very interesting. In my reading the position of the filament is critical to obtaining the highest Lux from a given reflector. The question here is that the Projectors shown in the YouTube video are V.7 Morimoto and the current 993 in LHD version is V.8 and I wonder if the V.8 has changed the bulb mount in the first place making the Motoholder unnecessary

A very interesting website here comparing bulbs and kits: https://www.bulbfacts.com

V8 looks like it already has the bulb holder, used pic below from here: https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto...ors?quantity=1

ch3tman - Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I did not know that Morimoto made an upgraded H1 bulb holder for their projector lens.

Seem like they are included in the v8 Morimoto projector lens.

Cupcar

Yes, it looks like the V.8 version supplied for left hand drives cars has the Motoholder included.

I used the stock reflectors of the original housing. Just placed the H1 bulb and connected it to the ballast. Run it like this for some 8 years or longer w/o issues. This was long before Morimoto came out with a kit. I still use their early design projector, never failed.

thank so much Ed for reposting.

Goose 993

The splitters arrived and I have no idea how these would connect. I don’t have any of these type of connections.

H1M > H1/9006F on the label.

Goose 993 -- see image below from the install guide. Upper left hand corner of the diagram is the wire splitter cable you are holding in your picture.




Best,

Ah ok. I tossed the brown and white wire as I did not know it was for this setup. I will email and get another set.

To be clear, the high beam bulb plugs into the blue female ends?

I also have a pill type and a flat type connection vs two flat type.
