Well, I got to take her for a drive tonight to try out the new headlights. For reference, here is a "before" pic with the stock HID heads:



Notice the lack of side to side lighting here.

Overall, I would say this is a HUGE improvement over stock. The side to side lighting is ridiculously better and the light spread is much smoother. I do, however, think I have an issue (possibly with bulb seating???). The first pic is taken in the same spot as the before to show the difference:



These next photos show what I think might be my issue. Notice the cutoff line on the driver's side especially. It slants up and to the right:







High beams:





Here are some pics showing some of the "flicker colors:"

 

Thanks guys, still on the fence. Looks like you can get the 3 around $250ish, might bite the bullet. Will just getting the 2 in lift and not tires mess up the speedo and shift points?

Eagerly awaiting pics of the lights, get one of the back too if ya can, id like to see how the amber led license plate light looks

 

Nope. The tires will be what effects the speedo and shift points.

Sorry, I was already out taking pics and didn't get any of the back. I will try to remember another time though. I guess I never really did do any pics of the light bar and red license plate lights.

 

Big difference side to side for sure. Looks like the cut off is high maybe try removing the bulb and putting it back in or maybe the headlight it self is crooked maybe fixed through some sort of aiming or adjustment. Idk if they can be "aimed" or not. What kind of lights did you get?

 

They can be aimed, but only up and down.

'13 OEM heads with the EvoX-R projectors, Osram 66240 Nightbreaker bulbs, and 50w ballasts. Basically I just paid someone else to swap the stock projector, bulbs, and ballasts for better stuff. But I had to buy the whole heads rather than just paying for the components and work. Fortunately, I already have someone lined up to buy my stock heads. So that alleviates a good portion of the price.

 

Very nice job. Hmmm head light bucket it self maybe its out of whack or crooked a lil bit somehow?

 

Hey man, if you got the itch to take some pics of your ride, id still like to see how those amber license plate lights look

 

Yeah. I've been meaning to do that for you. I'll try to remember tonight.

 

I hope that cutoff isn't that way because they were installed crooked. Looks good other than that though.

 

Well, I guess I never updated that. I talked with Dawson and ended up sending the driver's side headlight back to him this weekend. The only thing he can think of is that one the ball joints (?) inside came loose during shipping. He said he's seen it before. So I'll hopefully have it back in a couple of weeks.

 

Ha oh jeez. Well hopefully you'll get it back quickly!

 

Here ya go bud:

 

Looks good, I am a fan

 

Duce how's the x4 from 5 star working out for ya?

 

Pretty sweet. I've still only tried the 87 Performance/Tow because I forgot while I was filling up this weekend to put 93 in there. So I'll have to remember that for next time. I only fill up about every 2 weeks. But yeah, it's like a brand new truck. Throttle response and shifting are probably the biggest changes. I can still tell the 35" tires are on there, but the power I gained back with the tunes is pretty impressive. I've been meaning to play with the X4 itself some more to check out some of the features. I've just been too busy. I might check it out this weekend.
