MORIMOTO 1BANGER LED PODS: HXB WIDE BEAM Morimoto

OFF-ROAD REINVENTED: Since 2008, Morimoto has been building the best lighting upgrades for the automotive aftermarket… Consistently turning out products packed with more performance, reliability, and best in-class fitment & style. The 1Banger continues that tradition. In fact, the introduction of our entire offroad lineup has been a real wake-up-call for the old players in the category to get back on their game. The brand new, patent-pending line of 1Banger Off-Road LED Pods were completely designed, engineered, and torture tested in the USA, and everything about them is truly next level.

FORM MEETS FUNCTION: The overall footprint of the 1Banger is extremely compact, making them the perfect solution for adding extra light where full-size pods wont work. Each set of Morimoto 1Banger LED pods include a set of adjustable pedestal mounts for a universal fitment. Morimoto also offers a variety of application-specific mounting bracket kits for Racks and A-Pillars that make them bolt-on for many of today’s most popular trucks. Check out the full lineup for details on what’s available for your application.

PERFORMANCE: There are no “off the shelf” guts inside of a fancy housing here. Every element of the 1Banger is proprietary. LucidShape was used to optimize performance around the most modern, lumen-dense LEDs from Osram. Thermal dynamics have been optimized using SolidWorks. With white or yellow output and four distinct beam patterns (Wide/Fog, Spot, Combo, and Flood)–there is a 1Banger to suit every performance need and driving style.

HXB SPOT BEAM: Illuminates far into the distance unlike any other single-chip LED pod on the market. The HXB Spot comes standard with the most powerful Osram LED, which in combination with our advanced optics produces a beam pattern capable of penetrating up to 500 meters into your future. No matter the speed, you’ll never outrun your ability to see with the 1Banger HXB Spots.

ALL WEATHER: The white-output version is ideal for all-around visibility. For those who desire optimal output in rain, snow, or fog–the Yellow-output version will slay in shady weather. Morimoto has opted for Phosphor-converted Yellow LEDs that produce yellow light at the origin, which is the most effective way to penetrate through particles in the air without compromising output (Filtering white light through a yellow lens achieves the look, but no actual performance benefit in poor weather).

RELIABILITY: With power comes great responsibility. Extensive effort went into ensuring the reliability of the product. High power means high heat, which is why the 1Banger features a copper DTP (direct thermal path) PCB that maximizes heat-transfer to the radiator, which has been optimized through numerous rounds of thermal analysis. The cast aluminum shell is electroplated before powder coating to withstand flaking. The gasket system, integrated DT power connection, and breather valves all designed according to IP69K standards for full weather resistance.

STREET LEGALITY: When aimed properly, the Combo beam pattern complies with SAE J581 standards for an auxiliary high beam. If you’re looking for a high-performance LED pod to use as a fog light, the 1Banger wide beam will work well, but note that it is not compliant for on-road use.

POWER UP: The Morimoto 1Banger LED Pods have been developed from the ground up to set a new standard in their segment, and the same goes for the optional wire harness. If you want the best, bingo. Not one component on the harness was overlooked for the sake of cost or simplicity. Triple sealed proprietary 4-pin relay with hanger. Proprietary over-molded inline fuse holder with 20A mini fuse. DT06-2S female outputs with dual seals. Stainless steel power and ground terminals. Proprietary M-Spec push button switch with Yellow-LED backlight.
