When you say tilted, do you mean the beam cut off pattern? It’s supposed to be higher on the right and slope down to the left, so it’s lower on the side that’s shining into oncoming traffic.
did you end up having any scattering issues. I just purchased an essentially identical set but im scared to go through with it since i would need to remove the shield.
Not at all. You can see the beam patterns at the end of the video. Scattering issues are from using a standard LED in the stock housing, which is a bad idea IMO. Thats why I went with the collector (projector) type, so I wouldn’t have those issues.
That happens when I unplug my fogs. There is not enough resistance in the circuit to “tell” the dash that the high beams are on. Add a resistor to the headlight circuit, and that should fix the issue.
There is an adjustment screw in the projectors that allow you to turn the lense inside the housing. You adjust the housing itself the same way you would with factory headlight bulbs.
Make sure you have both projectors oriented the same way in the housings. I have mine with the open side facing straight down. That gave me a good beam pattern.
You’re welcome! If that doesn’t get your pattern sorted, next step would be adjusting the housings themselves, using the adjustment screws in the mounts.

I have these on my 2000 Tundra in some aftermarket housings that luckily didn't have the reflector. Like them a lot.
For the cost, they are definitely a noticeable improvement over the stock bulbs.
Nice. The link seems to be dead for this product. I order the co-light mini projector from their website. Hopefully this works out
Yeah, this video is older. They have probably came out with a newer version since I filmed this. Mine are still going strong with no issues though!
my headlights are titled, any idea how i can fix that?

@@JHBtheIV well the cut off pattern supposed to look like this

but instead its slanted i would say

@@RazeyIstSounds like you need to rotate the bulbs in the housings to bring the light “fan,” more horizontal.

Did you happen to have any issues with the bright light indicator on the dash not working after installing these?

hows the range compared to your old setup?
Similar range, as I made sure to adjust them properly. They do put out better light though.
thanks for the vid.. wet sand and buff those headlights and you will be one happy camper : )
Sure thing. Yes, they are certainly due for another refresh.
Nice truck
Thank you sir.
How did you Adjust the front head lights ?
There is an adjustment screw in the projectors that allow you to turn the lense inside the housing. You adjust the housing itself the same way you would with factory headlight bulbs.
@@JHBtheIV I bought the same one . My head lights is facing up trying to keep it level,
Make sure you have both projectors oriented the same way in the housings. I have mine with the open side facing straight down. That gave me a good beam pattern.
@@JHBtheIV ok thanks.
