    People around my area just don't understand what I'm doing. lol! Somebody's gonna call the cops on me pretty soon.
    Asking me what I'm doing like I'm losing my mind or something.
    Trying to aim my headlights Goddamn it!!! Get off my ass.

    To point out the brightness of the high beam I mention earlier. The high beam is plenty bright (Proper aiming required). It just not a 40-inch light bar bright. That's all.
    Take these personal assessments with a grain of salt. Everybody has their own level of bright.

    But I can certainly guarantee you it's the best aftermarket plug-n-play headlights out there. Never seen an LED with a cutline like an HID.
    If you're a number person, check out MESO test on this Morimoto way back when he was the first to get them.

    Sounds like when I was trying to aim my rx350 retrofit lol. I was all over the area getting those damn things aimed correctly

    Remember guys that everyone will be aiming them differently depending on the height of their truck. If your stock, then following the stock cutoff lines at 20+ feet will be exactly spot on. If you lowered, lifted of leveled your truck, then you will need to find the right height for your visibility without blinding others.

    Rule of thumb, if a car is in front of you at 20+ then your lights should be roughly at the bottom of his side mirrors (Still varys but a good reference). Thats the best way I have found to get headlights starting point. But this varies because if your truck is too high or too low, you'll either be blinding everyone or cant see sh** on the road lol.

    Its best to adjust them, drive on the road to see where you are at and readjust when needed. For me its more important not to blind others on the other side of the road.

    Just put mine on. The beams were pointed super low. Got the well dialed in, but need to tweak the high beams.

    Anyone got a high beam comparison shot? The reports of the high beam being weaker are a little concerning.

    I believe there was a comparison on YouTube. I'll have to find the video.

    But the high beam isn't weaker it's basically just more concentrated

    It would be cool to have adaptive lights that change its spectrum to fit certain environment such as rain, snow, fog, night, etc.
