HIDs and Morimoto fog lamps
I got my oem HIDs and Morimoto fog lamps installed yesterday they both installed very easily. The HIDs were just plug and play. I had to use self tappers to attach at three points. The fogs were easy to install as well. I removed the housing which is attached by three screws. You can do it without removing the housing, but it's a lot easier if you do. The oem housing pop out with a flat head screw driver and than the new ones pop right into place. I had to reuse the factory screw for adjusting. The screw they sent was a machine screw and didn't have the correct thread. Other that everything went smooth. Remember your truck has to be running to check that they are working.

Not technically incorrect. A "double step" is totally fine. As long as the lower step on the passenger side isn't gong to high.

I've never once seen a recommendation for a double step alignment. If properly aligned with that method you'd be setting up the driver's side about 4-6" low at 25'.

This was the cut off for the fogs at 25' at my work this morning. I the HIDs measured out right at 2" below the center of the projectors which equaled 36". I didn't post these pics because the light at the top of the wall was washing out the light of the fogs. I acually had to readjust the fogs once I got over to my wife's work. When I installed the fogs I took a measurement of the factory housing and used that for the motos and when I readjusted them they ended up right back at that same measurement. I kind of feel like I froze my *** off for nothing this morning, but I know what it feels like to be temporarily be blinded coming around a corner, and I don't want to be that guy.
FYI I just had the the headlights on in the garage and the passenger does seem to be a bit high.

The lights themselves are suppose to be oem according to Dawson at raptor retrofit. But who really know besides Dawson. They fit well there were no defects and the light output puts the halogens to shame. Especially when I turn on the brights. I think I just need to adjust that right one down a little. Trying to find a place around here that is 25' away from a wall flat and without lights is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
