The problem with that is, it should not be necessary. And it appears as if the Mori units don't use this approach.
No other bulb uses or has need for such - that is what the locking tabs on the base ( and corresponding slots on the housing ) are for - to precisely position the bulb. ( POS PNP HIDs excepted... lol). Positioning that requires fractional millimeter accuracy... and yer gunna eyeball it? Nupe.
I'm 110% positive that this is a marketing ploy to disguise ****-poor engineering. And they spin it to look like a 'positive' feature. Much worse - the vendors KNOW this, but happily lie to yer face while they take yer money.
Oh - those screenshots? That looks terrible, lol - no width, 'fuzzy pattern... looks like bad HID actually. Sorry. And also note that 'guygene' - aka elkhart, ,02_lightning, and all of his many other troll aliases he's use on this site, does not even have a 2016, nor even an EB. No pics in his 'intro post, no pics now. Ignore, Avoid this walking turd.
4X4 - you appear to have this same trolling turd stuck to yer ayss yet again. When are you going to do something about it - or do you actually prefer to be associated with trolls?

But it is necessary since no 2 car makers have the same optics for the reflector bucket. It lets the end user aim, which is 100 times better than a regular drop in led. If you have the choice of the 2, the only one to choose is the one you can aim. I wouldnt own any. Tried them from the guy in Canada that sells on here. Biggest waste of my time.

I believe some further clarification is in order.
It's true that different headlights have various reflector designs. BUT, it's also true that each of those designs' optics are expecting to see the emitter in a very rigorous, precise location and orientation in order to effectively manage the output.
This is what makes going to the store to buy ANY replacement halogen bulb, dropping it in and having an accurate beam, possible. This holistic, standardized approach to bulb/reflector/projector design is crucial - imagine the chaos if it were not so.
Introducing another uncontrolled variable due to an adjustment that I believe is a kludge to make up fer a lack of attention to detail, is the wrong approach - which is why I believe Mori does not use it. They appear to be locating the emitter as spec'd by the specific bulb type, to match the intended reflectors requirements they are to be used in.
Knowingly misleading folks is the sign of a disingenuous vendor, IMHO. The disparity in the candor of the two discussed vendors here is amazing; TRS lays out the shortcomings of this product very clearly - even as far as simply calling it only an 'adequate' solution. And their previous design ( still for sale) is clearly marked for use only in fogs, high beams, NOT for low beams. That's honesty. The other vendors' claims make it seem as though it's a gift from the Imaginary Friend himself. Which is patently false.
Add a recurrent Troll as his insidious Frontman in the mix, and you can readily see my angst.
This will be the last I'll say on this topic - y'all either agree, or not. Not gunna twist ye arm. Yer good people, an' Ol' Bubber woon't wanna risk the relationship.
Cheers
