I'm going to try and take a pic of the truck today so you can see them.
The high beam is the same as factory. The headlights come complete with all bulbs needed. As the turn/parking light section is clear, they even come with a 3357 Amber bulb.
There is no harness conversion needed. The factory Expy headlamp assemblies are "plug and play". The power harness on the back of the aftermarket ones are the same as factory. These literally are plug and play. The bulb for the low beam is an H3 halogen. I got an H3 6000K HID to replace it. The whole thing, including running the wires for ballast (plus I added a relay and resistor to power the lights directly from the battery) took 2 hours. If all you're doing is swapping out the factory headlights for these without doing an HID conversion, then it would take 30 minutes or less.
I don't know what a picture of the light cutoff would do. It's totally subjective anyway. I can tell you I live in a rural area (farm country on MD's Eastern Shore). I leave at 4:00am for work. It's dark. Even with the standard light output (before I added the HID a few days later) I was happy with these. Like I said, I had to aim them up slightly, but that was to be expected. I seriously doubt the hardworking Tawaiinese folks who made these have an Expy that they test the aim out on every set they build. So, I figured a little adjustment would be needed. Overall, quality is decent, fit and finish are pretty good (same lines/gaps as the factory ones) and I liked that these were true "plug and play". I really like that they are a flat black finish. I think once I get my tan trim and upper/lower grills painted black, these will really add to that look I want.
I've built custom projector assemblies for other cars before (all three Hondas, a VW, and my Dodge truck). Are these as good as the set I made with the S2000 projector lenses and the Phillips HID kit? No. But then again, that kit wound up costing me about $375-$450 (when you figure in my time and labor).
You can get a pair of Expy headlamp assemblies cheap and the actual process of converting them is not hard, just time consuming as you have to be very careful. I'm fairly **** and would have preferred to do that. I just don't have the time. Besides, this truck has 120,000 on it and will most likely be replaced in the next 18 months or so with a new Expy EL Limited. I'm going to wait to do a top-notch projector re-fit on that.
Now, if anyone lives reasonably close by and wants to bring their truck over for an HID re-fit or add power folding mirrors to your 03-06 Expy, we can talk!
