They are adjustable both vertical and horizontal. Now these aren't your thousand dollar+ factory projectors either. I have not had anyone ever flash me. When I get the time I can take some pictures. These are 100x better than the old non adjustable projectors I had. Only con with these is the only way to adjust them is with them unbolted from your truck. So it is a lot of trial and error.

Thanks for the feedback, and as always pictures of both high and low beam dispersion would be greatly appreciated.

Though the light beam looks great, nothing screams more that im "cheap looking" then those stupid, always on daytime light(no offense just speaking in general). Even the new f250/350 lights look retarded with the "purplish" daytime light. Guys seen the curly q range rover daytime lights?...goodlord!

Maybe if they did just a LED daytime light strip between the high/low, to me, it wouldnt look bad??

To each their own. I came from a corvette Z06 that had daytime running lights and I liked them. I actually think they don't look to bad on the white F250. The ones I had before were horrible and can't believe I had them on haha. Here's a picture of the old ones...

Thanks for the pics. It looks like they have a decent cutoff, but is a little hard to tell over the hood and with all the back light from the store. Is the wall low beams?

I wish I had thought to document that project. Feel free to ping me if you'd like to try building a set yourself. I have attached a pic of the end result.

I went the 05-07 headlight route. I ordered the headlamps and adapter pigtail form Riff Raff. All went well and was relatively easy to do with the instructions from Riff Raff.
You will not be able to go back to the OEM style headlamps as you cut almost all of the old mounting surfaces off to get the one piece 05-07 headlamp in.
I havent had a chance to tell much about the brightness yet, but have to be brighter than my old fogged/water condensation filled 01 headlamps.
Pics or it didnt happen:


Old OEM 01 Headlamps OFF


Old Headlamps ON


In Process and a slot for the air filter snorkle


New 05-07 Headlamps installed


New Headlamps ON
