HID Headlamps Question for 2013 Raptor

[Yuuuup]

Hey folks, don't know if I'm just being overly sensitive or "****" about my new 2013 Raptor, but I want ask the Forum to get piece of mind anyways.

I love my new Raptor and have literaly 0 complaints...however, I have noticed that if I hit a bump harder than "normal" or go off-roading while having my HID headlamps on, both beams "bounce" (for lack of a better description) from the shock of the terrain. Should I be concerned with the "bounce" that I'm seeing? I've never noticed it in any of my other vehicles owned, but didn't know if this "bounce" is indicative of the nature of the HID beam itself, or if I should get it checked-out.

Thank-you for your insight, time, and help!!!

I think others have said its just the cutoff line. For example, its so sharp that it is sensitive to changes in the terrain. Also, our trucks have very soft suspension so that in itself could be a factor.

But once you ******** a m&r 40", 30", and 20", or 4 visionx 8.7" lights and 2 led light cannons, I almost guarantee you won't notice any "light bounce" offroad!! :thumbup:

Hi, owned my 13 Raptor since March. My HID's bounce over practically any rough road surface. I personally am not bothered by it.

Mine bounced a little over rough bumps, but no big deal.

Doesn't bother me either but adding a light bar when off-roading is a good idear...

added Retrofits...and yes it takes some getting used to...The razor sharp cut-off is great, but can take some time to adapt...try to use the high beams as much as possible...

Mine "bounce" too. You get used to it. You also get used to other drivers thinking you have your brights on and flashing you.

One of my OEM HID's is no longer working so I have to wonder about the quality of these?

Thank-you all for your input...just wanted to make sure it was an issue I needed to get looked at. I can live with the HID "bounce"!!!
