Mine just came in the mail today. Let me just say you're going to love the way these look! I'm definitely going to have to learn how to aim the lights properly myself. I need develop some standard adjustments for when I tow my boat, utility, or travel trailer all with different tongue weights. I wanted to start out with some of the best LED retrofit kits available. Be sure to post how it's going.
I haven't done my research when it comes to adjusting the gifts, but on my 13 there was a screw that you turned to adjust them. I will have to dig out my users manual and see what it says to do.
They actually adjust very easily with just a #2 screwdriver. I just will have to find a wall with 50 feet of level ground so I can get truck back 25' with my different trailers attached.

I've done it in the rain on my 2015... very very simple. How many turns you need, ehhh that's up for debate. Also try not to focus (with your eyes) TOO MUCH on the light as you adjust it, you'll never notice it raising.
Thank you I appreciate sharing your experience. I will need to adjust them for my various hitch weights. Once I figure out how many turns for which trailer I can make it part of my hook up procedure.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this website but just wanted review and explain what I thought about a set of LED cargo lights, LED reverse lights, and a LED third break light. Just some info on the lights I received,
Are reverse lights where you can only see white legal in most states?
I don't know why you would want to use anything BUT white... brake lights with LED need to be RED if you have a RED housing. Halogens use white lights but with LED you want to match the LED color to the house. Put a white LED behind a red housing, and you'll get a light red color that looks terrible.

In the posted photos, the reverse and brake lights look white.. That was the point of my comment, that why are they white, is it just the photo makes them look white or do they look like that in real life. If they do, they don't look good to me, they look 'white' where they should be red (for the brake).
Can't tell you, that's not my truck that was posted first. You are right they DO look a bit whiteish, it's possibly the OP put WHITE led's behind his RED taillights. Don't do that. Use RED led's for your brakes, white led's for your reverse.

Here is what my truck looks like:
LED on the left... factory halogen on the right
That looks much better.. Perhaps I'll have to look into getting some now..
So I had my LED lights installed today from one of our local Tucson shops and as I was checking the truck, I noticed that I had no lights, so I was a little pissed that the lights/installer had screwed up my truck. I climbed back into my truck and noticed they had turned off my lights instead of leaving them on auto like I always do. Looking at them in my garage they appear to be a lot brighter than the factory halogen that I had on my Lariat. I'll update as soon as I drive it at night.
