Please help ID this COB emitter

Thanks, those do look nearly identical, especially with the aluminum housing and visible circular regions, which I’m guessing are the + and - connections.

I am guessing the ones I have are ~150 lumens each since total output of all five was fairly decent. Again, that is merely subjective by my eye, but there is enough illumination when activated that I can see through my rear tinted window back at least 20 feet or so. In the end, that is all I wanted to accomplish for this project. However, I do have another set of custom DIY DRLs on the front, one of which seems to be suffering from the weather and may need replacing. I would love to mod these Morimotto units with different emitters in the event I decide to replace my current front DRLs.

The epoxy they use is very hard, and I have been scouring the web for methods to remove it with things like acetone or heat. If I could get that gunk out, then and emitter swap may be very doable, even if I had to control with an external constant current driver (which I have done with other projects). I would even consider purchasing another set to mod so I could have a pair. Sadly, there is not much on the market for high quality, universal DRLs.

Thanks for the reference. I checked out “eagle eye” on Amazon (link) and came up with about a dozen different vendors selling what looks like the identical thing, and yes, they appear to look almost the same as what I have installed in my DRL from Morimotto.

Fwiw, I replaced my reverse bulbs with LEDs, trying to keep the stock look as much as possible.

One uses rear-facing 1156es(!), which I replaced with a similar donk that has an XM-L and aspheric lens in grooved Al tube (forgot who made them). All the light gets shot rearward (out the “top” of the bulb), so I’m not using the reflector at all, and the nice cone of light is plenty bright.

The other uses 921 glass-based wedge bulbs, which I replaced with ostensibly 800lm bulbs from JDM Astar. Rather nice. The reflector is wide horizontally but short vertically, with the filament in the bulbs running vertically, and these bulbs are similarly featured so that the 2 “faces” shine the LEDs right into the reflectors, with very little waste vertically.

Everything looks stock, but it’s daylight when you shift into reverse.
