Morimoto Retro-Quik: Bosch E46 Bi-Xenon Fashion

PRODUCT DETAILS

LUCKY YOU: The Bosch E46 Bi-Xenon projectors are the most common OEM HID projector ever used, ranging from BMWs to Range Rovers to the Lamborghini Aventador! Luckily for you, the Morimoto Retro-Quik system is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for a big performance boost inside the fog lights on all cars equipped with Bosch s 3 E46 style Bi-Xenon projectors.

PROJECTOR-PERFECTION: There are other projectors that produce brighter hot spots. There are other projectors that have unholy amounts of width. But no other option creates the perfect balance of width & hotspot lux (aka distance) quite like the 5.0. In order to create the ultimate weapon for driving in the dark; Morimoto baked in all of the best practices from a variety of well-respected OEM and aftermarket projectors. Their latest and greatest equates to the perfect all-around perfomer. While it big boost in the performance department, it s also clear they ve paid attention to the details in the parts department too. New bulb holders & lock rings are icing on our projector pie!

MOUNTING HARDWARE: 100% Engineered in the US. Laser cut from automotive-grade G10 fiberglass. The Retro-Quik brackets at the heart of the kit are designed to adapt the Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0 Bi-xenon projectors directly in place of the unsophisticated stock units. Using the original mounting holes paired with new hardware, they are the beauty behind the kit that makes it an easy install. You re welcome.

OPTIONAL 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!

OPTIONAL D2S HID BULBS: Homegrown by Morimoto to out-perform any alternatives on the market when installed in projector-based headlight–and it shows. We admit the latest generation XB HID bulbs are pretty impressive when compared to other bulbs, and even older Morimoto bulbs. At the heart of the XB bulbs is their perfectly-aligned 100% Philips quartz glass capsule that houses high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer. In our annual lux comparison test, they produced nearly the same lumin Osity (intensity) as the industry benchmark Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you re not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night.

OPTIONAL RELAY HARNESS: As one of the most important parts in any HID lighting upgrade, don t skimp out when it comes to your wiring. It doesn t matter how good your ballasts are or how good your bulbs are, if your harness is a piece of crap, when it gives out your fog lights are gonzo. The Morimoto HD Relay harness is easily worth the premium price compared to cheaper alternatives. With triple-sealed twin relays, 14ga. stranded copper wiring, over-molded fittings, and plug-n-play functionality, it will ensure everything functions properly and permanently from the original in-cabin controls. It s easily the best fog light wire harness out there.

OPTIONAL HOUSING SEALANT: Protection is priceless! When you re putting together a set of high-end fog lights, the last thing you want is moisture in em the first time it rains outside. RetroRubber is the most effective way to make sure the original seal is fully restored. For the small price, why anybody wouldn t prevent their new fog lights from fogging up is beyond us. It ll be the best twelve bucks you ve ever spent.
