So you don't have to aim them? Just unbolt the old ones and bolt in the new ones. UPS shows mine getting here Monday. I can't wait.

purpony nice R1

Purpony that R1 is sweet. I have a 02 model.
What's up with your exhaust?
If that exits right by the shifter, it must be louder than HE double hockey sticks.
Sweet ride, keep it shiney side up.

The adjuster and headlight assembly are all one unit. You unbolt the top bolt and then the 2 front ones and the headlight pops out. I measured the amount of thread on the stock adjuster and set the new lights to the same measurement. I think they come pretty close to stock but due to my autospring kit I had to adjust my stock headlights down. I then tested them outside against the garage door and they were just about perfect.



Thanks on my R1- It used to be silver and black and I painted the entire bike myself Corvette Electron Blue. I make just about every custom part on it including the exhaust. It dumps out right under the bike by the brake pedal. It has a baffle that slides into the mid pipe and then has a 45" high temp black powdercoated tip.... its really not any louder then my friends high mount micron and looks 100% better. Really cleans up the look of the bike. The bafle is also wrapped in exhaust packing.

Those look awesome purpony, did you notice any "suggested problems" with the light output that was mentioned earlier in this post. I will be ordering mine now as that is what i have been waiting for since i bought my truck.

The '05 Expedition Limited & NBX have them, why can't the F-150?

We need more guinea pigs with different colored trucks! Mine is Bright Red, and still not sure how they would look....hopefully in the coming months we will be seeing more trucks with these to get a better feel. They look great on that dark color of your truck!
