Which would you go with?

Morimoto or Oracle?

lionssfan · 06-28-2017, 04:00 AM

Morimoto is the only one i can speak for. I love the darker fog lamp back round when off or on since the upper half of fog doesn't light up. The lamp is designed to be a true fog lamp since the light beam projects down and not up to on coming traffic. Its a lot brighter then the stock fog lamp. And the color of light matches the HIDS nicely. The LED light color and brightness give the fog lamps an upscale appearance like the newer cars of today have. Read my post for further comments on morimoto fog lamps. I hope this helps.

I look forward in seeing your finished product

i used morimoto for my HIDs, and i've used oracle for my halos and sidemarkers. between the two, i'll never touch oracle again. i'm not impressed with their quality or their warranty, they took forever (~4mos) to replace one of my halos, to the point where i'm not bothering to have them replace the faulty one i currently have. once it gets worse i'm just going to swap them out for something better.

We have been selling the Morimoto products since the beginning of the year and have been very impressed with the quality, no failures at all so far. We were considering Oracle, but about half the products we purchased for testing had issues. We have been selling the Diode Dynamics product for over 2 years with very few problems and they are very easy/quick on warranty replacements.

I had change 3 ballast already from Morimoto and i got another one bad !

Stay away from Oracle. They are cheap Chinese made crap. None of their products last long and they do not stand behind their products, instead they will blame you even if they arrive damage or broken out of the box.

I have the Oracle side markers and so far (3 weeks) I haven't had any issues. Arrived perfectly, fit perfectly, and work perfectly (for now and hopefully forever).

Synner · 07-14-2017, 10:02 PM

Oracle is such overpriced crap, I'm baffled why people keep buying it. Better off with generic chinese crap which is 1/5 the price and same quality. No experience with morimoto but people seem to have a higher opinion of them.

G701LE · 07-15-2017, 05:10 PM

Well crap. Crossing fingers. I already have the Oracle halos and fog lights. I stop checking after awhile, when there are no comments. I also got Diode Dynamics demon eyes. I can only hope for the best now...... Will post pics when I'm done

Anyone have an idea of how to get the projector out of the housing easily?

Cenafan85 · 07-17-2017, 04:32 PM

Stay away from Oracle. Their products are complete garbage and they have no quality control. Less than 6 months and I already had to send my side markers in to get fixed. When I got them back the one had glue all over the LED, and the other LED marker lights were slanted. Had to send them back again just so they could fix their mistakes. I'm sorry but when you pay almost 400 for side markers, you expect high quality.

G701LE · 07-17-2017, 04:41 PM

Hell, I would be happy if I could get someone to respond to me sending them my lights. LOL. This is getting ridiculous
