[QUOTE="Bombsquad68, post: 1306208, member: 20615"] Just thought I'd give my review of these in case anyone else is considering them. They're well built, good looking lights. The install isn't very hard, no special tools required. I had factory LED so these were plug and play, and I put about 45k miles on the originals so I'm pretty familiar with them. I also spent a lot of time adjusting these and did multiple runs in the dark the last few days, taking them out and in to adjust the high beams. I ordered from Raptor Retrofit on the presale and they showed up in nice condition, Dawson is good to deal with Pros - Great Looks, sequential turn signal is cool Well built, close to OEM quality Low beam hotspot brighter than OEM Cheaper than OEM if purchasing new Cons- Worse low beam pattern than stock, no spill, harsh cutoff High beam overall worse light output than stock, with uneven and poor pattern High beam limited up/down aiming, also it's inaccessible once the light is installed. Do not come with all bolt supports like OEM lights, you end up not using two bolts for the panel below the light when you install. Overall- If I was being generous I'd say it's a lateral move vs OEM LED lights. But to be honest it's probably a slight downgrade. The high beam just sucks, and there's not enough spill in the low beam to let you read signs once the beam drops below. Almost no spill close to the truck which makes offroad manuevering more difficult. The factory OEM actually have a really good, smooth pattern with good spill, but they could use more lumens . The videos they show the light in their garage and measure max lux at the hotspot, but that doesn't really translate to a better light . I also ordered a pair of the Morimoto 17+ Superduty lights for my old man so I hope they're better. Sorry for the lack of pics, will post some pics tonight. They do look cool, but overall I would only recommend if you have the factory halogens , or smashed up your factory LEDs and don't want to pay Ford pricing to replace. I've got 4 Baja Designs LP9s coming to fix my lighting, if they ever ship from BD. Edit: Here's some shots showing the beam pattern low and high beam. Left is Morimoto, Right is OEM.
