Led headlight adjustment

[Kraig]

Hey all
The PO of just truck installed some fancy led headlights and I cannot get them adjusted properly. Adjusters are working but I can't seem to get these things to focus anywhere near normal. Any thoughts or ideas?

Could be junky projector or chitty cheap bulbs.

Well I don't have projector headlights. They are factory. Is that the issue?

And they are brand new so if that's the issue I'm just going to go back with factory lights

Wasn't sure, so I guessed projector.
A proper projector is better for led, hid, and halogen.
But, there's many cheap junky leds. You can get better ones, but they aren't cheap.
Look at the YouTube videos by headlight revolution. If you don't want to spend that much, I would get some silver stars.

Gotcha. Thanks

The last LED bulbs (not complete with lens) I installed in a Jeep JK I had to fiddle and re-index them in the socket to cast the light in the proper up vs down arrangement.

Without indexing the hi/lo sides of the lamp, the beams actually projected sideways - the opposite of what the reflector in the OE lens assembly is trying to do.

YMMV.

Ok. I will do that. They are supposed to do that on their own as they only go in one way I think but I'll look. Thanks for the reply.
