Bi Xenon Morimoto Mini H1 Stage III Kit. High Ranking For years now Morimotos Mini H1 Stage III complete retrofit kit has been our most popular setup on the site. Not only is it the easiest to install, but due to the compact size of the Mini H1 projectors, its the most universal fitting in most every application. While Morimoto continues to enhance the performance of their Mini H1 with each new generation, its also now one of the best performing kits in the catalog too. Morimoto Bi Xenon Projectors Morimotos new Mini H1 7. Representing the first full overhaul of the Mini H1 since their launch, its one of the most advanced headlight projectors in the world today. Revised optics paired with a cast curved cutoff shield produces one of the widest low beam patterns weve ever seen, and a high beam that will easily go the distance. Kuria Optic clear lenses maximize intensity throughout, and keep the cutoff line sharp, colorful, and attractive. New side action solenoids are more than 3x stronger than the old and fussy vertically sprung units. Result Maximum light on the ground, zero glare to oncoming traffic. Shrouds Basically, theyre the trim piece that adds the finishing touch to your new headlight retrofit. They cover the projector after its installed to restore the factory finished look inside the housings. With so many different shapes, sizes, and designs available, we really recommend picking one that suits the geometry inside of your headlights, and also your personal preference on how they look. Check out all of the projector shroud options we offer and take your pick HID Ballasts Morimotos XB ballasts are a functional work of art. While the industrial edge design by California native Artur Saakyan looks great from the outside, theyre packed with too much modern tech on the inside to cover it all in on place. Their DSP 3. 0 circuit maximizes reliability, input and output efficiency. Their ability to warm the bulbs up to full operating intensity quickly is matched by few. Aftermarket HID ballasts arent all the same, and the XBs make that clear in most every category in our opinion. H1 HID Bulbs Homegrown by Morimoto to out perform any alternatives on the market when installed in projector based headlightsand it shows. We admit the latest generation XB HID bulbs are pretty impressive when compared to other bulbs, and even older Morimoto bulbs. The Valvetronic motor is used on BMW E90 models with a normallyaspirated engine. It is responsible for actuating an eccentric shaft that adjusts intake valve lift. At the heart of the XB bulbs is their perfectly aligned 1. 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 luminosity intensity as the industry benchmark Osram CBI bulbs at 5. K. No, youre not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night. Wire Harness As one of the most important parts in any HID lighting upgrade dont skimp out when it comes to your wiring. It doesnt matter how good your ballasts are. How good your bulbs are. If your harness is a piece of crap, when it gives out your headlights are gonzo. Morimotos harnesses are the best on the market and easily worth their premium price compared to cheaper alternatives. No matter which one is right for your application, the harness features triple sealed central relay packs, 1. This will ensure everything properly and permanently works with your vehicles original in cabin controls. Optional Precision Bulb Holders Designed by Morimoto in California, the new Moto. Ho. 1der utilizes a three piece design thats way more effective but virtually no bigger overall than the old clip setup. The clever three piece design provides even pressure on the back of the bulb, ensuring perfect alignment. To be honest, we think its the single best upgrade to the projector thats ever been conceived since it helps make the most of the awesome 7. Well worth the extra few bucks in the grand scheme of things Optional Canbus Harnesses Instead of a traditional relayed harness that draws power from the battery, Morimotos Standalone Canbus harnesses use two individual sub harnesses to keep a load on the factory wiring. Recommended for vehicles that recognize when a bulb is out, these contain a series of capacitors and resistors to trick the car into thinking nothing has changed and help you avoid annoying bulb out warnings. We generally recommend them for use on most modern European applications instead of normal harnesses since they do a great job at providing stable power to the ballasts and canceling bulb out warnings. Optional LED Halos Though LED halos may not be for everybody, if youre looking for the cleanest, most simple, most reliable setup, we highly recommend the Morimoto XSB Halos. Not only are they the brightest, most uniformly lit halos currently on the market, but they double as a switchback turn signal with your blinker circuit. The integrated controllers are extremely easy to setup with only three wires white, amber, and ground and allow you to run the white mode continuously until interrupted by the signal at which point they will blink amber. Once the signal stops, the XSB ring will automatically switch back to its pure white mode. Optional Housing Sealant Protection is priceless When youre putting together a set of high end headlights, the last thing you want is moisture in em the first time it rains outside. Retro. Rubber is the most effective way to make sure the original seal is fully restored. For the small price, why anybody wouldnt prevent their new headlights from fogging up is beyond us. Itll be the best twelve bucks youve ever spent. Optional Precision Bulb Holders Designed by Morimoto in California, the new Moto.

Need a recommendation on parts for your projectGot a tech question Wholesale inquiryBMW E9. 0 Valvetronic Motor Replacement E9. E9. 2, E9. 3The Valvetronic motor is used on BMW E9. It is responsible for actuating an eccentric shaft that adjusts intake valve lift. The motor itself is pretty reliable and does not fail too often. However, you will have to remove it for other engine repairs and the gasket that seals the mounting surface of the Valvetronic motor fails and leaks oil. When repairs are performed on the Valvetronic assembly, the limit stops have to be relearned. You will need access to a BMW scan tool to do this procedure. The limit stops are the mechanical limit stop, end to end of rotation of the eccentric shaft. The DME digital motor electronics records these stops via the eccentric shaft sensor to determine mechanical adjustment limits of the eccentric shaft. With that said, when removing the motor to replace the gasket you are not changing the mechanical position of any Valvetrnoic assembly components, a relearn is not always needed. Now use this with caution and when in doubt, perform the relearn. Do your research and check with up to date repair information before beginning. In this article, Ill go over the steps involved with replacing the Valvetronic motor and Valvetronic motor gasket on BMW E9. Be sure to work with a cool engine. Remove engine covers. See our tech article on engine cover removing. Disconnect negative battery cable. See our tech article on battery replacing notes. Keep in mind that when your car was serviced before, parts may have been replaced with different size fasteners used in the replacement. The sizes of the nuts and bolts we give may be different from what you have, so be prepared with different size sockets and wrenches. Protect your eyes, hands and body from fluids, dust and debris while working on your vehicle. If working with the electrical system, disconnect the battery before beginning. Always catch fluids in appropriate containers and properly dispose of any fluid waste. Recycle parts, packaging and fluids when possible. Do not work on your vehicle if you feel the task is beyond your ability. Vehicle models change and evolve as they grow older, so the vehicle shown in our illustrations may vary slightly from yours.
