Gary Lewis Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 All the headlight related parts arrived today. I am out of town until Sunday! Always the way... Yes, always the way. But this way you'll have a plan and can hit it quickly when you get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Optimism! YES! New harness and lights installed. Please see daylight pics. The harness is only just long enough to reach. I got this from Broncograveyard. The bulbs are phillips “racing 150%” whatever that means. Now i need to align the lights, is there a method anyone here prefers? I have a nice RV garage door as a target, once I adjust them (tomorrow night I hope) i will post the light pattern on the door/road. In The meantime these pics are: 1. Lights off 2. Dipped 3. High beam 4. Relay mounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High beam 4. Relay mounting Do you know the wattage of the bulbs? They're probably called "racing" because they're non-compliant, and can't be promoted for street use. Does look good! If the ground is completely flat and level I would drive straight at/up to the door and make a cross with masking tape at the hot center of each beam. Then back straight up at least 50' and see where they pattern on both high and low. I do believe Gary has links to Daniel Stern's pages where he outlines all the proper alignment procedures.

Here's the link to Daniel Sterns' directions on adjusting E-code headlights. And the lights look good! I'm anxious to see how you like them.

I'm anxious to see how you like them. Gary, thank you!! That is a well written guide and I will print out the pdf tonight. I have sylvania H6054 basic sealed halogen lights in my truck so I will try and compare the two out of interest. I may not be able to get 25ft distance to my RV door in a straight line, due a tree! I will measure later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
