well i know they are pretty dead on when driving down the road cause i can see alot. High beams go out alot farther. I tested the diffrence on a dark road and i can see just fine. I dont know why that one beam is pointing down. But if you look at NCSU pic it does the samething.

NCSU's does it because of the cut off shield inside the projector.

On yours, it's the hot spot that is pointing down.



The red is the high beam. Assuming you didn't move your truck, I used the little black dots on the wall to match up the hot spots. Are you sure the wiring isn't backwards? Do both your bulbs move in/out at the same time when you flip the MFS lever? Are they in or out when you flip the high beams?

I know when I did my sister's Mustang, I had to rewire the connector.

Ah, you fixed the link.

Don't know. Maybe they are set up right, and I'm just nitpicking What brand are they?

Low and High based on the vid look OK, but if the above pictures are accurate, you should really readjust your headlights per the manuals instructions. Or check out the thread below:

Look at our pics side by side, there is a huge difference. Just one being the lack of hot spots in my photo.



Out of curiosity, has anyone flashed their high beams at you yet?

Also, is it just me, or the overall beam in the low picture is higher than the high beam picture? You sure you have them in right/wired right?

+2.. . kinda odd~

That would do it!

Still, you should aim your lights just in case.

Cool deal, again, keep an eye out for people flashing their brights at you at night. Sometime it happens to people, sometimes it doesn't.
