Morimoto Introduces New Headlights for 2020+ Silverado HD Trucks
Morimoto Introduces New Headlights for 2020+ Silverado HD Trucks
.
One of General Motors' best-selling cars ever is the Silverado. This indicates that there are a lot of them traveling today. Unfortunately, the majority of owners are aware of how inadequate the standard headlights are. When you drive off the lot in a brand-new vehicle, you expect the headlights to be as exciting and bright as the truck itself. Many Silverado owners don't feel that way. Morimoto understood that and developed simple plug-and-play solutions. For the 2020+ Silverado HD Trucks, two new aftermarket headlamp options are being introduced this month. Your truck will definitely benefit from the Morimoto XB LED headlights and the XB LED Hybrid headlights, which will brighten the roads ahead.
The differences between the two new headlights may now be a source of confusion for you. You can order a Whopper or a Whopper Jr. at Burger King. Think of it this way. The Whopper Jr. may not be as large as the full-size version, but that doesn't change how it tastes. It retains every flavor of its larger sibling. The XB Hybrid and XB LED headlights function similarly.
The whole package will be the XB LED headlamp. These headlights have the well-known Morimoto start-up process, standard or sequential turn signals, and bi-LED projectors for both high beams and low beams. The XB Hybrids will be a version of the headlights that are affordable and for everyone to enjoy. The term "Hybrid" comes from the fact that the XB Hybrid headlights combine halogen and LED lamps. Turn signal options, and the absence of a start-up sequence are the two main differences between the XB Hybrid and the XB LED headlights, which share many lighting components. The XB Hybrid headlights are scarcely a compromise because they share a large number of essential parts with the premium XB LED ones.
Morimoto XB LED Headlights for the 2020+ Silverado HD
The most significant addition you can make to your truck is the premium XB LED headlights. With their three bi-LED projectors, these new headlights offer a substantial increase in light production. Along with increasing brightness, the updated light will also improve width, intensity, and the way light is distributed throughout your beam pattern. These headlights will fit all 2020+ Silverado HD models, regardless of whether you have an OEM halogen or OEM LED truck. You may be confident that these lights are a direct replacement with no adjustments required if you prefer OEM+ quality. You won't have to worry about sun fade because the XB LED headlights have UV-coated polycarbonate lenses, just like your OEM light turn signal elements are among the Morimoto XB LED headlights' most distinctive features.
In contrast to the majority of other aftermarket providers, Morimoto offers you choices regarding the lighting of your turn signals. A connector that can decide either sequential or regular turn signal functionality is included on the back of every XB LED headlamp. For those who want something more cautious, this implies that just a single connector can be used to switch off the sequential mode, leaving simply ordinary turn signal operations.
When it comes to an improvement like this, lighting performance is what counts most. In order to provide you with real-world comparisons between the OEM stock headlights and the XB LED headlights, we recently had a Silverado in our studio to test with. You can see that there is a significant difference. We utilize a lux meter 25 feet away from the wall to conduct our tests. We discovered during our testing that the halogen low beam has a maximum lumen rating of 420. We found that the bi-LED unit had a maximum lux rating of 1,790 when we added the XB LED headlights. Compared to your original halogen headlights, that is 326% brighter. Please read our blog post outlining the distinctions between Lumen, Lux, and Candela if you are unfamiliar with the term Lux.
Similar outcomes are obtained when comparing the two units' high beams. While the Morimoto XB high beam has a maximum lux rating of 1,840, the halogen high beam has a maximum lux rating of 1,060. While this may not be as much of an increase as the low beam, the Morimoto high beam still outperforms the OEM lights by 73%.
These headlights check off a distinct box for each characteristic. They offer a very contemporary update for your Silverado, are remarkably well-built by Morimoto, and outperform all other aftermarket options.

Even if the XB LED headlights are likely to have pleased you, what if cost is a significant issue for you? Fortunately, Morimoto considers everyone when they develop improved lighting for cars. If the XB LEDs are too expensive for you, consider looking at the XB Hybrid lights instead. Using both your OEM halogen lamps and LED projectors, the hybrid lights help you save money. The XB Hybrid lights will not compromise the light output because they share many of the same primary components. The XB LED headlights are equally dazzling and bright as the Hybrid XBs. The OEM halogen turn signal bulb is used in the new turn signal location, and the XB Hybrid lights have standard turn signals instead of sequential or standard turn signal options. The standard Morimoto start-up feature will not be present in the XB Hybrid lighting either. When compared to OEM-grade housings and bi-LED projectors, these are the best aftermarket light you'll label at this price range.
Both the low beam and high beam LED projectors power the XB Hybrid headlights, just as the XB LED headlights. Additionally, they will work with trucks that are OEM LED and OEM halogen. Like all Marmots, the Hybrid XBs are factory replacements that require no installation changes. In order to utilize the Hybrid XB product line, the optics for the headlights were created last year. In spite of their low cost, Morimoto made them to provide a broad and powerful beam pattern.
As we found out during the most recent studio tests, the OEM halogen low beam has a maximum lux rating of 420. Bi-LED low beams with XB Hybrid units have a maximum lux rating of 880, which is twice as bright as the OEM headlights. The powerful headlight upgrade consists of a sharp cut-off line and twice as much light.
We were equally thrilled with the outcomes when we tested the high-beam comparisons in our studio. As before, the maximum lux rating for the OEM halogen high beam is 880. The high beams immediately reach a maximum lux rating of 2,420 with the XB Hybrids. Once more, this is more than twice as brilliant as the original equipment manufacturer's headlights. You may be confident that driving in the dark will be enjoyable with these new Morimoto devices.
Conclusion
The you've-end XB headlights are an obvious choice if you have an additional dollar lying around. The new XB Hybrid headlights are the best option if you want to conserve money without sacrificing your goal of improved lighting. Regardless of the route you choose, Morimoto guarantees that your improvement will not let you down.
