    Very interested in these, but.... how do I know I won't be the jackass with the super bright lights that blind oncoming traffic?

    because you have projectors, which help a ton. That and you can ensure they are aimed correctly.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    This ^ with projectors they cut off nicely and don't blind other drivers. My Tacoma has mini's and it's awesome pure white wide beam pattern that lights up all lanes on the free way.

    Factory projectors like ours aren't the best, same as on the denali headlights I had. But better than a regular housing. Or you can retrofit an upgraded projector in there.

    Mine is 5500k. I have no issues with blinding people. H11B bulbs fit perfect and the cut off is perfect. You may blind a lowered miata in front of you, but besides that your golden.

    It's a serious question. See the glare above the cutoff? That's what blinds oncoming drivers

    It's not that much glare, compared to non projector housings

    is that the same system? i'm not getting any glare. I had them with H11 bulbs they sent, but we found out the H11B was needed and now i have no glare as the pictures above.

    There should be more of a cross pattern. Did you try correcting the aim of the beam?

    Nope, haven't looked around for the adjustment screws. I'm sure the lights are adjustable, one would imagine....

    You say that you put A set of HIDs in your 2016 last night. Did you put these HIDs in your truck last night?

    So why are you posting your pictures in here? People are going to assume you have installed the Morimoto Elite HID System when you have not

    You could write that you do not have Morimoto Elite HID headlights in your truck so people don't think they are going to give them a V in their light path
