Does anyone have these headlights?

Hey just checking to see how these are holding up with moisture and the heat from the HIDs? Still happy with them? Thanks!

I've had them on my truck for about 7-8 months now and the one is peeling and yellowing. The other has something inside of it and is fogging. Get what ya pay for I guess......

 

I'm putting my stocks back on due to not being as bright. If you buy these, I would suggest going with a HID kit if you drive any at night or morning.

 

I appreciate the update! I like the looks and I wanted to run HIDs in those like you did but I guess I'd have to settle for halogen bulbs. bummer.

 

As has been mentioned before, all is not lost. You can always make this upgrade and forget about all of your problems. I did and have never regretted it.

No condensation in the headlights and nothing is melted. I'd say they're good.

 

I got a pair ive had then for about 6 months and they work perfect had to do a little adjusting but very simple, ill try to get a photo up soon

 

anyone clear coat these before installing?

 

Not too bad, they don’t seem to adjust though.

 

I also able to adjust mine just fine. Have had a few pairs of aftermarket lights and they always have a jagged upper line. When I looked real close inside the projector, I saw thats the shape of the housing. Have also seen it on display pics on here of "high end" retrofits people sell.

The only gripe I have is the high beams are basically useless. Lows are pretty good though. I don't care about the highs though as I have my lightbar triggered on by the high beam relay.

 

I had those lights for a little while, they adjust up/down and left/right. I think it was with a screwdriver.

 

The "jagged" cutoff line is so that the left side of the beam is less likely to blind oncoming traffic. That's why the left side of the beam is slightly lower than the right.

 

Does it look like I need to adjust the drivers side up then? Didn’t know it was normal. Was odd with the passenger side lighting further down the road. These are light years brighter than the eBay reflector halogens I had before. Debating a HID kit.

I tried with the screw driver this morning and nothing moved the beam. Going to try with a ratchet tonight

 

Does this look right? I think oem the bottom was for vertical adjustment

 

Yea, philips screwdriver. Had to buy 1 with about a 12" end though as I was struggling to reach one of the adjusters.

 

I wonder can you retro fit these. Was going to buy but heard light output was terrible. Talked to a guy who put PIAA LED bulbs in and said it fixed it.

 

I don't think so--I think you're good as-is. You want the light cutoff to be a bit lower on the left as a result of the notch. The passenger light will be less impacted by this (if at all) because the beam from the driver side will fill the gap. It takes some getting used to.. I used to have a D2S retrofit on my last car, and it was the same cutoff pattern.

 

Have read LED sucks in these and hid is much better

output is pretty decent though in my opinion

 

You’re on the fence with hid bc it’ll cause damage to the lens? I wonder if swapping the lens out would help.
