try aiming them and replacing the bulbs it'll be cheaper and make a difference.

Those are terrible lights, stay far away. They don't fit right, don't put out hardly any more light than stock, and the LED's burn out. If you're wanting good bright lighting with the blacked out look, get some black Lightning or Harley style headlights and Sylvania silverstar ultra bulbs. They put out a ton more light over stock, and work better than this halos in every aspect.

I bought these off ebay. They do not fit like stock but the fit is nice. I think i paid like 88.00 and put in slyvania ultra's. They put off great light.

Is it all projection headlight or just this brand that have these problems? I like the look of the projection lights a lot and have drove a newer edge at night with them and loved them. Are their the same problems with the HID projection headlights?

All of the projector headlights made for these trucks suck. The only way to get the good looks, and performance on one of these is to do a Projector retrofit in a clear housing like the lightning or Harley lights. The fit and performance will blow those one piece projectors out of the water.

Buy a 3M headlight restoration kit (25$) and a pair of bulbs. Just did my headlights with the kit and they perform and look better than new, no BS.
