[QUOTE="masterwacker, post: 1722467, member: 37957"] glad the install went well. Thanks for pointing out the DRL connector as that was the sam on mine and forgot to mention that. For aiming the lights do the following at night or in a dark warehouse/building: -Find a level ground with a wall/door/building you can shine the headlights on. Needs to be flat, not corrugated as that will impact the beam cutoff line. If rough concrete or stone that is fine as the line is still easily discernible. -Measure out 25’ from wall/door/building and this is where you will position truck with the front of the headlights at this position -Measure from ground to halfway up headlight face, write this measurement down. This works just fine or you can use the little circle on the headlight face as that is the axis reference mark. -Take some painters tape and on the wall/door/building put tape horizontal to the ground with the top edge of the tape being at the height from the ground that you wrote down in the previous step. -Open hood, turn headlights on (obviously), and using the adjuster ”bolt”, 8mm gear wrench works best, adjust the driver’s side headlight until the top line of the light is right at the top line of the tape. - For passenger headlight you I’ll do the same but you want the top cutoff line to be 2” higher than the tape and driver’s side headlight. -Driver’s headlight is set at tape to reduce blinding oncoming traffic (depending on height of truck). Passenger headlight is set higher to light up road signs so they are visible in a usable way while driving. On the Morrimoto XB I don’t remember if raising was clockwise or counterclockwise, but you will figure it out very quickly. Addendum #1 - Fog lights in Raptor bumper that you want to use in traffic (SAE style) use 30’ instead of 25’ and the rest of the steps are the same - other off road lights the Measurements vary greatly depending on the beam pattern and I just aim to what makes sense and provides the best visibility. Hope this helps. If you want a more scientific explanation of the above then refer to [URL='http://Www.Danielsternlighting.com']Daniel Stern Lighing[/URL] as this is what the above instructions are simplified from. I have used his methods for years with great success. [/QUOTE]
