Yours look really good.

Mine have a flat beam - and I can't recognise a cutoff on either side (just at the top of the beam), but then again I haven't really checked it properly. I'll try to do that tonight.

That's interesting you haven't noticed a distinctive cut off line , maybe you could take a photo tonight so i can compare the light line on yours to mine.
All the projector lights i have seen so far have had a definite cut off line , whether or not they are US made or European .

I could be that these lights are made in Taiwan and are budget models so the cut off might not be as precise as they should be.

Blue, looks great in every respect. I assume the shadow on your test wall in the aerial?

How about a high beam shot? What bulb wattage/colour did you go for with the LB?

Also, a parkers on shot showing the angel-rings and LEDs?

Congrats on another very neat & professional job there!

I'll answer all your other questions tomorrow when i retake the photo's your after.
The LH light need adjusting down a little but all in all it looks good , i have been on a road test with no oncoming traffic flashing me,

the cut off line works great, here's a pic.



You can see the Lh light needs adjusting , the cut sits just under the rear bar of the vehicles you are following which is what i wanted.





That's Low beam

The LB's are 4300K and the HB's are 5000K work great not to bright for oncoming traffic which i had that trouble with the ond style headlights.

LED Projectors

Here are 2 photos of mine I took last night. First photo from outside, Second photo from the centre of the cabin.

I am yet to adjust the passenger side up a little from its original LHD alignment.

Adrian, LH up a bit, RH down a bit.
Looks like the US lights have met Australian compliance because of the very clear cut-off - albeit they still throw a bit of more light up the RHS.

The RH is already down quite a bit (it looks like it is much higher in the pic than it really is, because my drive has quite a slope).

And don't mention it - there was no compliance with my lights

Here's a photo of the angel-rings


In my opinion the LED's are a little over bright against the angel-rings here's how they look.


The lights are good value if your looking for projectors, and with the fitment you do have to cut a little out of the header panel .

A really great result Blue.

The new lights bring the truck up to date in the looks and the light output departments.

They're now on my to do list - next mod!

Simon, before i had them fitted i had the dual filament Hid's in the new style housing everything was ok as far as the wiring , but since i fitted the projectors with two lots of Hid's I've had some trouble with Rf interference and the DP - chip , what happen was when i have the truck running and turn the headlights on hi beam the truck would stall (no fun there) so I've done a heap of research and emailed Justin at DP , the result was to use ferrite chokes on all the bulbs wires and move the 12vdc power wires away from the ABS module as there was some problems with the chip that DP uses and RF interference with them.

Interesting. I currently have Woif 35W HIDs in both my spot lamps and fog lamps and have run them without any problems. I'm using the PHP chip.

But point taken, when I wire up the HID headlights I will fit chokes on every wire!

It may not cause problems with the PHP chip , but it's known to happen with the DP, you should try it without the chokes first.

Breaking news. The HIDS flicking on killed my truck twice on Friday night.

Each time I was heading down hill, the foggies flicked off with the dipper, and the engine died for about 5 seconds - I think the ECM unit rebooted in those 5 seconds, the Check Engine light flashed, then the power came on again. I had to reset the Edge scan gauge to get it to start reading again.

So I'll be fitting chokes on all the HID wires now.
