Although, about a month ago one of my low beams did not come on.... for about 2 days..... then bam it worked again with no issues since! weird. lol Ohhhhh I need a retro!

Thanks man, I appreciate the offer! I have to have an all black light..... just one of those things ya know.... My next set will have to be a blacked out retro.....

I wish I knew enough about doing retros, i would have a go myself. I just never bothered to have an understanding of LED, HID, ballasts, and so on.... Im sure it's easy to grasp, just never have.

Same here no clue about HID ect. I like the ANZOs so far. People can say what they want about aftermarket and retro it's most all opinion and most everyone has one.

Once you've seen a good retros cutoff and output... You wont settle for anything less.

10 lanes wide, 4-5' off the ground, 1/4 mile long... And high beams only extend that.

Its truly amazing once you've seen them. Its an addiction.

Ok even though I am on the same side as retrofitters, can we maybe not talk about it in this thread just to avoid a war, his anzos look good and if he's happy with them we should stop comparing them to retros. Just don't want to disrespect the op

Even though I could not figure out how to adjust the light to cut off. I adjusted them anyways. I can see better and test drove at night and no flashes as of yet. Anyone suggest a bulb for the high beam ? Stock bulb is very yellow. Don't think ill use it much , but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Adjusted lights can see better but need to adjust one more time I think. I've got 2 cut offs not one straight line. Have to figure out left and right adjustment. It's ok retro guys laugh I'm happy my pay check

Typically our headlights only adjust up and down. I'm pretty sure that's the case with aftermarket lights too, but I can't say 100%.
