Installed Morimoto HID, Warning Lights?

[cestjoel]

So, I changed the battery and installed Morimoto HID. However, all the warning lights came on. Will they go away after driving for a while? Do I have to reset the computer???

Just drive it, they should go off.

Cool - thanks! Hopefully that's all that's needed.

I hear when you replace the battery you have to drive it a bit to get everything to relearn.

What HID's do you have? I am wanting the Morimoto, but I want them to match (as close as possible) the DRL's. What temp do you have? and what specific bulb size? H11b or H11a? Thanks!

From other threads, 5500k is closest with Morimoto's and go with H11b, those are the non-canbus.

Morimoto H11B 35w/5500k here
Warning lights go off after 30 sec of driving.

I opted for the 35 watt ballast with 5500k H11B bulb and relay Harness.

However, we have been emailing back and forth about the color. To me, the 5500k looks yellow/greenish. They said to give it more time for the bulbs to break in. But, I don't think they'll get any whiter than they are now. If you do buy Morimotos, go for the 6500k.

Their Harness, cables, and ballast are great quality! But, I'm not sure about their bulbs. I'm gonna try to buy some DMTunning bulbs and Morimoto bulbs both in 6500k and see which look best. For now, here are some pics of the yellowish 5500k Morimotos

We have the same setup but yours definitely look a little more yellow. Mine were like that when I first installed but seem to be a little whiter now.

I don't know if mine look the same as yours but they are 5500k Morimoto

Wow, your guy's definitely look a lot less yellow than mine. Do you mind if I use your pictures so I can show The Retrofit Source the comparison?

I just installed the Morimoto 35w 5550k kit as well. Picture right after turning them on the first time. Overall they're pretty close to DRL.
