Before you drop some LED's in there perhaps get an on road performance picture with the halogen bulbs? No one has done this yet on the Pro series that i am aware of
That's going to be a very involved process unless someone is willing to throw the lights in and take the truck out without the valence. You can't swap from the halogens to the LEDs while the lights are in the truck. There's not enough room.

Lol yes I had to wait for my other set of lights to come in to finish my install yesterday. I was afraid that might be the case.

Trust me, it is possible. Before I got the Luxx series I had drop.in led bulbs and i was able to do it with the headlight assemblies in the truck.

It may be with the stock housings, but with the Alpharex and the H7 bulbs it is not. You hit the supports directly behind the housing with the fan area of the bulb.

Remember, not all led lights are created equally. All depends on what led lights the other guy got or is looking to purchase

I'd like to hear how everyone who bought these aimed them. Alpharex didn't show that.

The headlights have an adjustment screw on them. I think it took me 2 trys to have ot set and I didnt have to adjust much.

Mine were way out of alignment when I got them, but aligning them is pretty easy.

Get a flat surface and a wall about 25 ft away (a closed walmart/etc is a great place to do this), and the low beams cutoff should be *roughly* in the middle of the high beam pattern. Use a #1 Phillips head screwdriver to turn the set screws (it makes for a super quick and painless adjustment) until you're satisfied. I had to crank mine way down and made one minor adjustment after that but they've been great since.

For me, I noticed that the beam pattern seems to be a fair bit higher than I'd expect but comparing to other vehicles it is accurate.

The leveling kits that most are running will make it seem high for sure. I think that is what made it way out for you and others. OME lift for the win here!! LOL

That's the answer I was expecting. I get the physical adjustment part, but how high is that cut off line at 25'. Mine are adjusted all the way down. And I'm at factory level.
It's only 'just' below the cars outer mirrors in front of me.

It's not, not for me. I'm still running stock suspension, waiting for OME to get back in stock. The factory aim of the Luxx was just crazy off, almost aimed to the top of high beam cutoff.

Might have been luck of the draw when I got mine

They should be relatively high, if you're at the lowest adjustment and it's still too high, you either have a very high front end or a bad adjustment. Mine will shine on the car in front of me until they're at least a semi's distance or more. That matched with factory cutoff.

Where are the adjustment screws located on the lights?
