retrofit headlights

[GAINMOB]

i have to stop the connector from pushing back into the headlight...i think thats whats stopping that light from coming on...that was the problem on the other side...fix that...i noticed it pushed back when i was trying to connect it...

They look BA! But when they were opened, they should paint the bezels gloss black.

Looks Siiiiiiick. Cant wait to see them on. I saw the exact same headlight unit on ebay and was gonna grab them and have someone install the switchback signals too, with HIDs. Looks like you beat me to it. Cheers!Ill probably go to the vendor guy on this forum and have him install them.

They look pretty good man...

Could you post a picture of the back of the headlight? You can't just pull it out as much as you can and put some JB weld/Quik around the connector?

Also, when you get them working, maybe some output/cutoff pix?

i pushed from the inside by sticking my finger through the hole low beam hole...it came on once and flicks on for about 2 secs then goes out...i'm going to do the grounds again because at one point it did work...then i cut the truck off and it hasnt come back on...the passenger side works like a champ...

i will also need to do another workaround to keep the fogs on when i flash high beams...guess its a prob with F150's...i have the how to...just have to do it...i flashed my highs and sure nuff the fogs went out...so it causes me to turn them back on again....STRESSFUL!!!

******UPDATE********

for whatever reason...yesterday...it just decided to work properly and come on!!! i dont know if i hit the right bump or what but my lights are good to go!!! now the only prob i have is the cutt-off...IT SUCKS!!! beam is point done and need to pick it up and even them out...any suggestions?

so your cutoff is crooked? up/down is simple, should have a factory adjuster for that........but depending on the type of projectors - rotational adjustment might not be an option for you (and if so, it should have been done when they were built)

 

[GAINMOB]

i'm going to try to adjust again tomorrow....i was only able to make them even...still down...

 

[SOLISIMO]

Damn what a headache. I hope it works out Ross

 

[GAINMOB]

600 reasons it better work out...

 

[GAINMOB]

i'm loving howw it looks...just need the cutoff corrected...i'm going to stalk some same color expeditions so i can have before mod pics...then now...plus i need to update my signature pic...

 

[GAINMOB]

i've done all i can do...cutoff is FUKK'd...

 

[0212353]

pics of cut off?

Heck, if its not adjustable by you, send them back man!

 

[ELVATO]

Yea, I'd like to see pix as well. Is the cutoff itself messed up, or is the alignment/rotation of the projectors themselves messed up? Are they anything like what I posted a few pages back?

 

[0212353]

I really hope they aren't..........cuz the cutoff on those stink, and they are about the cheapest components around for a retrofit.

I can't "down" it too much though, my first retrofit - same basic stuff. It worked great, but my new setup kills them.

i'll get pics off the cuttoff tonight...and post when i get back
