    So I bought some new lights from EBAY, square insert with halo daytime running light. The blasted things will not adjust.

    My highs are my lows, and my lows are my highs, but I plugged them straight up. The highs are double horizoned when shining, are bright, but two different horizons, the bottom horizon is really bright, but the top horizon is dimmer, but there is a blue jagged line creating the two horizons or light variances.

    The low beams are close together, but are on the high setting, and they shoot way out, but not close enough to the truck on the road while driving. I really thought these would be plug and play.

    If I adjust the lows, the highs get messed up, and if I adjust the highs the lows get messed up. They are just like the factory with the upper and lower 4 adjustments. I even did tacomaholics video and everything and it didn't work.

    My turn signals are really fast now but all lights are working including hazards.
    Should I have my buddy, who also tried to adjust them and came up with the same result, should we adjust the top and bottom adjusters @ the same time? They are really bad and dangerous especially on back country roads.......BAAAAD!

    I hate to say it but you wasted your money on junk eBay headlights. The way to improve lighting is in the link that’s posted above.
