[QUOTE="4x4TruckLEDs.com, post: 1665353, member: 24442"] Well, the H13 plug on the Fords are known (at least in the aftermarket world) for being VERY tight. You have to squeeze them together. The pins are also off-center (top to bottom, not side to side). Most folks think they need to be centered, not true. Because of how tight they are they generally get pushed out of alignment. Very common. And by the truck being old, it's just changed shape over time. Pins get bent a bit from years of travel across roads (at least 7 years now). So a brand new set of headlights will not sit as flush as the factory ones, that have moved along with the truck. You'd have the same issue if you replaced your old factory headlights with a brand new set of OEM headlights. You'd most likely see how they don't quite match up as far as fitment to the old factory ones. Regarding the 3pm chat... are you Jay?? If so we got this message "Morimoto XB headlights do not work, high or low beam." No other info. So Steve replied with "Im not sure I understand?" but he never got a response back. [/QUOTE]
