    I have them to. The high beam and low beam can be adjusted separately. You just need a Philips screwdriver to do the job. Each headlight has 2 adjustment screws. The one at the very top is the high beam and the one that is lower on the headlight body is the low beam adjustment. I do say for the best high beam output you have to stagger the pattern. Basically the right high beam is aimed higher.

    These look absolutely gorgeous man. Holy moly! I was thinking on installing 2020 led headlights on my 2016 Sequoia but these lights are a beast. I LOVE THEM!

      The best thing about these is they're plug and play, no wiring is needed.

    Eric, I am still admiring your truck. I have made up my mind to buy the pro series. Is your headlight assemlbly housing CHROME OR BLACK HOUSING. What is the advantage over the other? I am writing from Scandiinavia but I will be installing and using the truck in Africa where temperatures can 39-40 degree celcius. Thought chrome will not absorb more heat as black. The truck is metalic grey. Your input will be much appreciated.

      Mine I believe are jet/gloss black, but an early batch which they no longer make. I think the current model is completely blacked out instead of having some bits remain chrome. Personally I don't really like the look of the chrome model of the NOVA series, but I think the chrome PRO series might look pretty good. Give them a try!

    YOU can rid of the HI beam gap by a few ways depending on manufacturer... Turn/Twist ur light/led bulb slightly or "if" it's an aftermarket LED it comes with an Allen wrench to adjust the beam pattern...
    "if" it's LED it was factory adjusted don't need to do nothing unless it's factory defective, then need to manually adjust it by 9 o'clock/3 o'clock position

      They use the OE turn signal socket and the OE bulb, I have no idea what brand the LED bulbs are, they were just the best seller on Taobao that I could find.

    Great video. Thanks for this! Quick question, if these headlights don't come with a level adjuster how would one adjust the headlights? Are other drivers complaining about being blinded by the lights?

    • @HeZhenliangtintin186
      @HeZhenliangtintin186  4 года назад +1

      They do come with a level adjuster, I just aim mine rather high. As a Chinese person I must admit people drive around with high beams on a lot, so this is my way of fighting them.

    What wire do you cut in the DRL assembly to loose the amber glow for DRL? Looks great

    • @HeZhenliangtintin186
      @HeZhenliangtintin186  3 года назад

      There's a gray wire going to the flasher module, I believe it's the fifth one in a row or something. Just look up "Tundra DRL delete" on RUclips, it's the same thing.

      It's been about 11 months since I've had these put on and they're holding up well. I would say the lens doesn't hold up too well towards scratches, which is why I would recommend getting the lens clear bra'd. I have had a friend's set of lights suffer from moisture issues, but quickly got resolved under warrenty.

    thanks for your video, i was looking for something like this. doing my research there are two manufacturer model numbers for this headlight 880729 and 880727. i can't fins what's the difference between them. also one of them is available on Amazon for 900 not 980.
    any idea what's going on?

    Hi Eric, thanks a lot for this video. It was really informative and helpful. I have also bought the AlphaRex for my Sequoia and I was wondering if you can explain me or tell me where I can find the information about which cable I have to cut if I dont want the turn signals to be on on day light (I also like it pure white like you said in the video). I want them to function just when I turn on the turn signal. Thank you!
