    I just got done messing with mine, they’re so much brighter and wider then the led fogs on my wife’s 18 Sierra.

    I hope you share your initial impressions with us

    I'm sorry to hear about the trouble. We don't use adhesives of any kind on these anywhere, so we're really confused about this too. I believe the dealer you purchased from already contacted us, and we will be eagerly awaiting the unit back so we can review what may be going on. Don't worry, we will make sure you get a replacement right away!

    I'm not sure if this was directed at me, but that is not the wording we use, I was stating it for comparison. Our warranties are always clearly listed as a specific time period. Thanks.

    Got my lights in, finally. They're pretty neato. I still feel like I'm blinding people when they drive past me on the sides though...can see yellow all up in there faces hah.

    Couldn’t agree more. Your warranty info is very specific and clear. There is no reason for shock upon receipt of receiving them. It’s clearly posted in the product information. Nice job.

    Seems like this is directed at me even tho it was pretty clear what my point was. I simply showed what the card said and stated my opinion that it’s far from an industry leading warranty and even at 8 years by far the worst of any major light company in the same category.

    As has already been said, you need to re-aim them. Park your truck about 20 feet from a flat wall and turn your headlights and fog lights on. The fogs should fill in nicely below the main headlight pattern. If they're above it - and it sounds like they are - they're not only bothering oncoming drivers, but you're not getting the most out of them either. It may take a few tries to get them absolutely correct.

    Apparently this forum is full of snowflakes as my response got deleted.

    learn to read, I wasn’t surprised at the warranty they came with I know what the site says I was sharing the warranty claim and how I think the “industry leading” part is ridiculous.

    Whats it to you what I drive? This is a lighting discussion that’s the reason I came to this site in the first place

    Ftr. Your response was deleted because it was bashing another member.

    Maybe read the COC before spouting off again.
