    Would you let me know how three of those projectors get adjusted? By individual one or all three move up and down with one adjustment?

    Stew, if possible and if time allows, output/projection data would be much appreciated when you decide to post next. :)

    Morimoto does not cite this information beyond photos, which can be deceiving. Though these look promising and the brands of Morimoto and Osram are highly respectable, projection is where LEDs suffer the most (to my understanding), even though they "look brighter" to the naked eye.

    If the data reflects positively (as the style and functionality are otherwise dope), that would be awesome

    I found 3 individual adjustments:
    HIGH BEAM
    LOWBEAM CUTOFF(Veritcal)
    LOWBEAM STEPOVER(horizontal)

    Funny... they setup the outter projector with no step cutoff( flat) then the middle projector has the actual LHD step. There are some pros and cons of the overall output... but I’ve only had 1 night with them.

    ***OFFICIAL REVIEW BY @mesojdm ***
    Special thanks to @mesojdm for taking the time to review these!

    The Goods:

    [​IMG]



    Everything is plug and play
    LOW beam, HIGH beam, And Side marker connectors
    [​IMG]

    The Turn/DRL harness is nice. It has an adapter harness to plug into OEM LED DRL vehicles(TRD,SPORT,PRO,etc)
    But if you have a base model(SR/SR5) just remove it and you will have your regualr 3pin connector for Turn/DRL/GND
    [​IMG]

    If you don't care for the sequential style turn signal, this is a bypass jumper to go back to standard flashing

    Here is my unbiased opinion;

    Build quality- 9/10 Molds are clean, plastic looks high quality. Better than ANZO/SPYDER almost OEM grade plastic.
    Fitment- 9/10. Everything lined up pretty well. Tiny gap near the hood/grill..but nothing major.
    Installation-10/10. Everything was PnP. The pigtail DRL/turn adapter will be nice for users with non OEM-LED DRL. The bypass connector for Sequential turns is a benefit as well
    Performance- I'll have to brake this down into a few sections;
    DRL: 10/10. Great output. Awesome intensity, even with the slightly smoked DRL lens. Great attention to detail on the lens design with the optic design to diffuse the light.
    TURN: 10/10. Same as above. Would have liked a little more amber, I'd say they are more borderline of "PC AMBER".. but awesome nonetheless.
    LOW BEAM: 7/10 Step is a little too drastic for my taste(reminds me of the D2S 4.0's) I would have liked a more subtle step like 5.0, or RX's. NO COLOR band:( While the cutoff is very sharp and clean.. it lacks that nice color flicker. Not a deal breaker..but I'm so use to it. After talking with Andrew.. they might tune the projector for a little more color in final production units.
    HIGH BEAM: 8/10 Decent. Very concentrated, but it works.

    Overall, these are the best "over the counter" drop in lights I have seen. You cannot compare them to retrofits as that's a different class.

    Does anyone know if I can get matching fog lights to go with these headlights while using this coupon code? I have a stock truck, and want to upgrade the stock fog lights if I get these headlights. I didn't see anything on the website link for matching fog lights, even in the search bar.

    Amber or white?
    @eledobleu had a group buy that ended on the white.

    There’s also a coupon on the Amber fogs if you want
