That sucks! Is it both sides? May want to check the harnesses as I noticed on mine that I had to press really hard to get them to set "click" properly.

Its looks like only the passenger side. It's really hard to trouble shoot because of the brightness. I'm not happy because that bottom bolt took forever to get off and on. Every car I'm behind on the road I can see the reflection look like a strobe when it hits a bump. I'm hoping I can get to the harness without having to take it completely apart again.

Do you have the 6.2? if so you should be able to remove the small air scoop and get access to the harness plugs.

Yea I will give it s shot. The back of the light doesn't have any option to tighten the light assembly. If the harness is not the fix then I will contact retrofit tmw. Really sucks considering the time waiting on these and money

It's not the harness. The top light rattles with vibration. This blows

if you turn the lights on and are aiming them at a wall and close and open the driver's door does the light vibrate? Is so my passengers doing the same thing 🤐

That's exactly what I did. Try driving down a bumpy road and pay attention to your reflection. It will drive you insane. I have video of the vibration. I plan to send it to retro tmw if they need proof.

Have you adjusted your headlights? I hadn't done that till now and pointed them way down to where they should be and it pretty much eliminated that vibration. Only adjusted the up and down, and it looks like both of them we're way off.

Really hate to hear you guys are experiencing quality issues. I don't get it, given The Retrofit Source told me over two weeks ago the additional delays are due to the fact they're testing and inspecting every set that goes out. Maybe that was just their excuse that day as to why my December order hasn't shipped. Such a significant issue from two cases just within this group...of a premium-priced Morimoto product and 100% inspection and testing from the distributor when so many orders already backordered...doesn't make sense to me unless there are some known issues. Hoping it's a simple fix.

Hopefully, as stated above, the vibration in the light is caused by being at the upper end of the adjustment mechanism and not being under proper spring tension or something like that. Let's see it the other gentleman reports back.

Can’t upload pictures right now, but these have dramatically changed the look of the truck, look great.

the fuse adapter sucks. I, like another poster, have a fuse right in the way so I need to figure out something as it is not secure. I’ll post pics when I can.
