Thanks, been waiting for this. I am happy with my G5-R choice

[RetrofitSource]

D2S 5.0 is king! G5-R is a good projector, but with too much focus on putting light in the hot spot, compared to the 5.0 it lacks in two ways: 1) The width wont be as strong, and 2) the transition from the hot spot to the foreground isn't gradual enough, leaving you with too much light on the ground close to the car, smaller pupils, and less ability to see long range.

I love my 5.0s but I give the G5R the edge. Just remember when comparing these 2 is like comparing a BMW with an Audi either one is going to outperform and be a major upgrade to most factory headlights (94 Pontiac quad four).

Good work as always Caesar. To me the G5/R still has it over the 5.0.

Ppl say the 5.0 is the best, but I prefer the beam distribution of the G5-R. Happy to have them in my retrofit! I've got the same exact setup as in the vid, too lol - G5-R, 66240 CBI, Morimoto XB 2.0 35W

The g5r looks really good. Du you think it will fit into my 2014 Passat with oem xenon? Is there a adaptor plate that will fit? I have the active turning lights.

Qiestion I just got My Headlights Retrofit, I have nhk G5R -BRT projectors. Are they reliable?
Also whats the difference beetween the G5-R and the G5-BRT?

[rogerramroop]

Great comparison video as always bro 👍🏼 ...keep it up !!

[mujjuman]

what is the G5 a replica of? and damn when did the xb 2.0 come out? whats teh advantage over the 1.0

[amjathkhan]

Is G5-R still good or there are other better alternatives available? I have been using it with Philips XV2 bulbs for more than a year now, and I don't quite follow the latest products in the market. Thanks in advance for helping!

[redline]

I have no idea what to buy! The G5R, the D2S 5.0, or the tuned RX350? Cost doesn’t matter, I want the best performer. Any recommendations?

[Snicker]

I remember watching this video and choosing the Morimoto over the NHK and now I regret buying the Morimoto. You can see that the light carries over more evenly off to the sides with the G5R than with the Morimoto, which to me matters more than the hotspot. That and the fact that the AR coated lenses ruin the color and make it too warm. Still a good projector, but after living with the Morimoto for some time, I wanna go back to clear lenses with my CBB bulbs!

[fabiangomez]

anybody use the morimoto xb35 5500k bulbs and have this green issue as seen here in the video? is it simply a break in issue or a characteristic of the bulb itself that will exist forever?

[miguelgonzalez]

Does the G5-X have more or less the same intensity and hotspot as the G5-R? If so, I may not need to get these 5.0's.

[GordonGreenCincinnati]

The black speckle table you use for close up comparison has got to go!!

[fabiangomez]

why does the morimoto d2s 5.0 have that green/yellow look in the middle and below the hotspot? in your morimoto d2s 4.0 comparison video against the g5-r it's not really there, or that noticeable, almost nonexistent. Is this just a design flaw of the 5.0?

[jobanirubio]

How do I get that crispy 6000k white with ar coated lens 35watt

[jonyherrera]

Can I install in h4 car. I can use h1 bulbs? Thanks
