Hella Headlight upgrade
#11

How do you feel the headlight pattern is for the Morimoto headlights? I’ve seen several led conversions that either have terrible patterns of extremely low lumen output- basically worthless upgrades.

The dual hi/low beam combination allows all 4 lights to be active at once on either hi or low beam so the brightness is excellent. It is night and day different from the old xenon lights which for night driving above 35 mph was a bit scary. On a freeway doing 65 mph I feel I can see far enough for safety no problem. I would not use any led that is not Morimoto unless specifically called out in testing by headlight revolution website. I also have Morimoto on my F150 and again, night and day. On my toad, Mini Cooper, I had to use a different led and not the same experience as with Morimoto.

Thank you so much for all the help!  After some digging around, I ended up going with some Morimoto LED headlights.  They have worked great for me in the past and have hope these will be just as good.  Each light has a low beam and a high beam, so you can operate all four at once.  It was a little tricky to get them adjusted perfectly, but they do a great job of providing great lighting without blinding the oncoming traffic.
I know this is an old thread, but maybe you’ll see this and it would be awesome if you could share model numbers and any installation/wiring details you encountered. I’m about to change the headlights on Coach 1294.
Hello, sorry for the delayed response, I have been off grid for a bit.

Here are the headlights I choose as I used (4) of them because they offer a hi/low beam in each light thus when active I have all 4 lights at once.
Here are the lights used;  https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-sea...quantity=1. Select either hi beam, low beam or the hi/low beam combination which is what I picked.  I had to cut some aluminum to make a new housing for behind the fiberglass, but not too much trouble.  On the wiring make sure you remove the transformer for the xenon lights and get back to a 12 VDC wire.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for the response. That's very helpful. Do you happen to have a picture of the bracket you had to make? Or a picture of the lights once the install was complete?

I’m helping my uncle care for his 2010 P2000i, Coach #1294

Sorry for the delay but I lost most of my photos so I had to go to the coach to get some of the headlights installed.  I don't have one of the bracket but, it was just a piece of aluminum I had laying around, probably something like 6"x12"x1/8"or 3/16".  Here are the photos installed.  One thing I will say is I would have thought the brackets for the old lights would be level, but they are not.  I would make the aluminum bracket, install it, then put a level line on both lights to get them perfectly level.  I did not and it didn't seem to affect my adjustment of the headlights but if I did it again, I would certainly do it.
