Headlight adjustment

Haven't done much night driving yet with the new pickup but tonight I noticed that it does a poor job of illuminating on the right side not an issue going down the road but defiantly when not on the the road. Haven't looked at it yet but curious if anybody noticed the same thing and if anybody had played with it to make it better.

Head light revolution

I used these led plug and play bulbs. They’re amazing that’s all I’ll say.

I used their video to help with grille removal for a different project, but I bookmarked the lights you linked.
I'm all for better lighting, but I'm concerned about blinding other drivers. I meet a guy early mornings on the road who has all LED in an FJ Cruiser. I know that his high beams aren't on, but it's still very bright. Enough to **** me off every morning.

I hate those bright lights too. My truck is a 2017 f250 lifted 6” with 37” tires. I drove down a 2 lane road in town the first night and no one flashed me. The led bulbs have a great cut off line. I did get flashed with the halogen bulbs before adjusted lights all the way down.

Thanks, they're on my "to do" list. I've read online that grille removal isn't really necessary to install these lights.
When I was doing my other project it looks like there's enough room on the driver side to install without grille removal. Passenger side, the air intake snaps right out and also should provide enough access on the 6.2 trucks.

How long did it take for you order from HR to ship? I ordered 3-4 days ago. The order status just tells me that it's "awaiting shipment".

I’m in Florida it took maybe 5 or 6 days. But they sent the wrong bulbs. Lol called them at 515pm had new ones at 11am the next mourning. Now that’s fast. Still not one person has flashed me at night.
