Morimoto XB LED fog light request for Mazda.

[romanster]

I'm with ya, the color temp difference to my Philips 85122+ bulbs is super obvious, even with the XB 5500K I had before (with both F3 and F5 ballasts).

I've got my XB Type S fogs cut open, to swap the stock Luxeon T 6500K emitters for Luxeon TX 5000K, and boosting the driver from 900mA to 1A or maybe 1.2A output. The Luxeon TX comes in a bunch of color temps, including 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, and 6500K.

The LED board is easy enough to reflow the emitters, and the Luxeon TX has a boost in lumens over the stock Luxeon T.

Pictures of side by side please! I'd be interested in 4000K lol (5000K is fine).

Are there any plans to bring the Mazda Morimoto LEDs Type Z fog lights back to theretrofitsource.com store? I've been looking into purchasing a set, but they haven't been on the website for a few months now. Thanks!

gelzero, I was told that in order to bring the Type Z back, they'd need to have at the minimum, 300 orders for them. I thought about throwing it up on the Mazda3 forum I belong to, to see what kind of feedback I get, but that's a stretch to get 300 orders.

Any hope that the same LED fogs (Type Z) will be produced again?

I spent the last two months searching for a pair, even if used

Also a 300 for sure will go in seconds, all the distributors are out of stock in no time

Good news guys... Fogs are back again! I went back to TRS website and was surprized the fogs are back! Just ordered a pair imediately!


-------------- UPDATE -------------------

After paying for the pair, I realized it's a pre-order and it will be available in May, it's fine as long as It's guaranteed that I will get one.

Yeah, TRS posted a week or so ago that they're available for pre-order, and they had a big block of red text about pre-ordering and delivery around May. I doubt they would've sold out of the pre-orders, and even if they did, your card isn't charged yet

It is charged and it's fine to me... And i really would be happy if TRS surprise us and ship it in April 😀

Yup, I was charged too. Lucky to find discount code as well. Can't wait to get my hands on the pair.

[PC Master]

Any news guys? TRS said it might be shipped early May, and June is about 10 days away

I don't know why this thread is not active,

Anyways, I finally received the fog lights, installed it and it's awsome! Worth every penny.
