Which projectors are better between the morimoto mini h1 and mini D2S?

ok guys so I just wanted to know how you all like your setups between the two if your running them. I'd really appreciate it if yall could help me make my mind up between the two because I've been looking to do the retrofit for some time now and I'm torn between them. Thanks! And I'm new to the retrofitting so if you have any pointers that would be much appreciated!

 

I have only had the D2Ss and I like them but impossible for me to compare to anything else except the stock headlights which wont help you.

If anyone on this site has had both, the are likely to frequent this thread. Post your same question there.

According to Matt, the owner of TRS/Morimoto:

"For the most part, the performance of the Mini D2S and Mini H1 projectors is even, but I will highlight some of the small differences below:

1) Beam uniformity: The Mini D2S is a bit better in this category, with slightly more even-ness in its output.
2) Beam Width: The Mini H1 is slightly wider here
3) High beam performance: The Mini D2S has a brighter, more defined high beam (bi-xenon) output
4) Cutoff color/sharpness: The projectors are even, since they use the same exact lens - giving them a sharp and colorful cutoff line.
5) Bulb type used: Obviously the H1 takes H1 and D2S takes D2S, and we feel that D2S bulbs offer a bit more precision, though no more light.
6) Size: The D2S version is about 1/2" shorter in overall depth, but is also barely wider and a little bit taller than the H1 version.
7) Modification to your OEM housing: the diameter of the mounting shaft on the H1 is 22mm, whereas it's 32mm on the D2S model, so you probably wont have to modify anything at all when using the MH1, whereas you will likely have to just widen the diameter of the existing bulb opening to use the D2S projector.

Therefore, if you value the categories more than the H1 wins, you should probably go that route - and vice versa for the D2S model.

Personally I just "like" the D2S model more since I favor the categories that it outshines the H1 model more in, but ultimately its up to you - since both should fit your vehicle with little to no modifications at all."


Bulb plays a big role also. If you want OEM bulbs, D2S is the way to go.

 

thanks guys for all the info it helped a lot!!! I think im gonna go with either of them because they are so even. im gonna put some halos on the shrouds but I don't know which ones yet, so that's my next challenge!

 

They're both good projectors. I personally like d2s better. More bulb options, if you're into OEM stuff.

 

D2S no argument
