MORIMOTO BIGBANGER LED DITCH LIGHT SYSTEM: FORD F-150 (09-14)
PRODUCT DETAILS
BOLT ON BRIGHTER: The Morimoto BigBanger A-Pillar LED system is the perfect solution for more light, aimed exactly where you want it. From long-range spotlights for high-speed driving to ditch lights to illuminate the side of the road, our A-Pillar kit is all about versatility. Select a set of high-performance BigBanger LED pods in your choice of beam pattern, pair that with the brackets to make installation a breeze, and power it properly with our switched wire harness.
ENGINEERED FITMENT: Morimoto's A-Pillar kit for the 09-14 Ford F-150 has been through numerous rounds of design, prototyping, and testing directly on the truck to ensure perfect compatibility. Everything lines up with pre-existing mounting points to create an installation that is truly modification-free. Guaranteed. Yes, we agree this is a basic requirement, but you wouldn't believe the poor fitment we encountered from other well-known brands during development. It was mind-blowing.
BRANCHES BEWARE: Each bracket is laser cut from 304 stainless steel, then powder coated. Put simply, the side mirrors on your Ram will rip off way before our A-Pillar kit even flexes a muscle.
PERFORMANCE: It's big. It's heavy. It's expensive, but nothing else out there can compete. Out on the trail at night, the BigBanger will run with the best brands in the business. Every element has been designed to maximize light output without compromise. LucidShape was used to optimize performance around the most modern, lumen-dense LEDs from Nichia and Osram. Thermal dynamics have been optimized using SolidWorks. With two performance tiers, two beam patterns (spot or combo), and two colors (white or yellow output); there is a BigBanger to suit the most demanding performance needs.
HXB SPOT BEAM: The BigBanger HXB spot is a true performance powerhouse for fast-paced driving in the dark--and no matter the speed, you will never outrun its ability to penetrate up to 800 meters into the distance. Producing well over a half million Candela, there is nothing else on the market that can compare to the BigBanger HXB spot. To put the power in perspective, our 4Banger HXB wide beam is the brightest pod on the market in its class, it's highly impressive, and it's only pushing 22,000CD.
HXB COMBO BEAM: Illuminates a clear path in every direction. The HXB Combo beam provides an unmatched blend of width and distance illumination making driving in the middle of nowhere far more comfortable. The powerful hot spot is complimented by a meaningful amount of both width and height, all perfectly tuned to produce a beam perfect for all-around visibility.
NCS SPOT BEAM: Illuminates a narrow field, but well into the distance. The NCS Spot features a highly focused 5-degree hot spot that's surrounded by a 14H x 4C degree flood beam, making it the perfect weapon for long-range visibility. While not quite as powerful as the BigBanger HXB Spot, the NCS model easily keeps pace with the best in the business and offers a lot of 'Banger for the buck.
NCS COMBO BEAM: Offering the same great beam pattern as the top-of-the-line HXB model, the NCS Combo will effectively illuminate the path ahead in every direction with a meaningful amount of intensity throughout. The Combo optics produce a strong hotspot, width, and vertical flood into a beam pattern that's highly useful for all-around visibility. Powered with modern LEDs from Nichia, intensity won't disappoint either.
AMBER BACKLIGHT: Comes standard on all BigBanger Pods. While amber backlight does not produce any forward illumination, the daytime setting is so bright that it will dim by 90% at night to avoid creating glare for oncoming traffic. The dual-intensity control for the backlight is integrated into our optional BigBanger-specific wire harness, which has been designed to control all modes on two pods
POWER UP: The Morimoto BigBanger 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 harnesses. This harness is designed to control the pods and their dual-intensity backlight with ease. Not one component 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. DT06-4S female outputs with dual seals. Stainless steel power and ground terminals. Proprietary M-Spec push button switch with Amber-LED backlight.
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 BigBangers. High power means high heat, which is why the platform is built around 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 are all designed according to IP69K standards for full weather resistance.
