2. Product Features
- Plug-and-Play Design: Eliminates the need for cutting or splicing wires, offering a direct connection solution.
- Signal Splitting: Allows a single input signal to be distributed to two output connections.
- Durable Construction: Designed for automotive environments.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for various headlight retrofit scenarios, including bi-xenon and quad projector setups.
3. Installation
The Morimoto 9006F to 9006M/9006M Splitter is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected before beginning any electrical work.
- Identify Connections: Locate the existing 9006F (female) connector in your vehicle's headlight wiring that you intend to split. This is typically the high beam signal wire.
- Connect Input: Plug the male 9006 connector of the splitter into the vehicle's female 9006F connector. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect Outputs: The splitter provides two 9006M (male) outputs. Connect these to the devices requiring the split signal, such as bi-xenon projector solenoids or additional ballasts.
- Secure Wiring: Route the wiring safely, away from moving parts or heat sources. Use zip ties or cable clips to secure the harness.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery and test the headlight system to ensure all connections are functioning correctly.

4. Operation and Applications
The splitter enables various advanced lighting configurations:
4.1. Double High Beams
When retrofitting a bi-xenon projector into a system that already has a halogen high beam, this splitter allows the stock high beam power to activate the bi-xenon solenoid simultaneously. This results in both the halogen high beam and the bi-xenon high beam being active, effectively doubling the high beam output.
4.2. Quad Retrofits
For installations involving four ballasts (e.g., two low beam harnesses in parallel), the splitter can be used to activate two pairs of bi-xenon solenoids from a single high beam output. This setup typically requires three splitters in total to manage the connections for four projectors.
4.3. Sport Bike Retrofits
In sport bike applications, where a single low beam and a single high beam might be present, the splitter can be used to retrofit two bi-xenon projectors. The single high beam output can be split to power both projector solenoids, creating an instant dual low beam and dual high beam setup. Common configurations for this application might involve an H7 Male input to 9006/9006 female outputs.

5. Maintenance
The Morimoto Splitter is designed for long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the connections for any signs of corrosion, wear, or damage. Ensure all plugs are securely seated. If any damage is observed, replace the splitter to maintain optimal performance and safety.
6. Troubleshooting
- No Power to Connected Devices:
- Check all connections to ensure they are fully seated.
- Verify the input signal is present at the vehicle's original connector.
- Inspect the splitter harness for any visible damage or breaks in the wiring.
- Intermittent Functionality:
- Ensure connections are tight and free from corrosion.
- Check for any loose wires within the harness.
- Incorrect Bulb Type:
- Confirm that the input connector matches your stock high beam bulb type.
- Ensure the output connectors are compatible with your bi-xenon projector solenoids or other connected devices.
