I want a set for sure, but it's gonna have to wait a bit......I have a very needy van. Can you do 4000K projectors??

Edit: I see 4300K, that would work well.

Flux- no worries, take your time! My recommendation is to stick with 5000 or 5500k, but I can support any of those choices.

Latest set of lights through the shop is for a Superduty. This set is a good example of how the optional lens etching really ties everything together nicely. This will also be another great durability test for the assemblies as the owner is no stranger to finding the truck's limits.

Build-
2011 Ford F250 Superduty OEM housings
Morimoto D2S 4.0 Projectors
F250 etched lenses by The Retrofit Source
Morimoto Apollo 3.0 shrouds
Morimoto XB D2S 5500k bulbs
Morimoto XB55 ballasts
Morimoto H13 MotoControl harness

Hey these lights really do look great!
I was admiring them in person on both forum members BrianBlair's and Hotchkiss' rides, way cool stuff (I'm in and out of The Path bike shop in Tustin quite often!!!)

I had a question ---
(and perhaps this is already covered somewhere in the previous 40 pages of this 41-page-long thread......)

Q: How are these lights designed as far as adjusting their "aim" after they've been installed? (Or is there even a need to do that?)

Wondered if bolting them in is truly plug-n-play (no need to calibrate their aim after installing) or if they indeed need a seasoned Pro to "dial them in" and make sure their up/down/left/right beam throw is correct (and legal) once they're in place.

(*My query originates due to my only real experience with replacing headlights.....in my old 1970's Mopars, a headlight swap occasionally involved having to put the car in front of the garage door after the headlight swap, with headlights turned on (and using the beam pattern on the garage door to gauge the up/down/left/right aim....) then adjusting several spring-tensioned screws that trapped the headlamp armature in place (and allowed for fine-tuning/micro-adjusting the aim of the headlamp beam.)

Thanks Scott ---
I hope my question only serves to help others understand (and desire!) your sweet headlights even more.

Cheers --

Mike,

Thanks for the questions. Once installed on the van these lights do need to be aligned, but the process is not difficult. There are two adjusters per light on the 92-07 versions that control the vertical and lateral adjustment. Due to varying van heights and component setups this adjustment is necessary to get them fine tuned and working properly.

Had a busy afternoon in the shop completing two Basic Retrofit kit orders, one in black/chrome and one in all chrome. Which setup is your favorite?
