Well I received an email from TRS that they will cover my light that got the lense burn in the plastic since the adjuster is broken

This forum.... and these post probably have absolutely nothing to do with the change of heart

Mine arrived yesterday. I installed them in 90 minutes. No issues. Working perfectly. I did however forget to make it sequential turn signal so I may go back in and figure that out. Anyone know if that can be done without removing the lights? I’m guessing no, but just wanted to check.

If you can reach the connector...probably not.

Nah you will have to re-install them in all likelihood. Which, honestly, was pretty painless.

For those of you that bought these I'd take a pic of the serial number on each light and keep for your records. I'm having one light replaced but they are saying I need to supply serial number first which is annoying that I have to remove the headlight before I actually have the replacement for it, just to install it again and repeat once it arrives

thanks for the heads up on that

Does anyone have these lights installed on a truck with a chrome grill and chrome bumpers, such as Laramie or Limited? If yes, would you post pictures of your front end, please?

Thank you! Your truck looks great! but the body itself is a dark color, so the lights are well matched. My RAM is silver, so I am not sure it will look nearly as well.

Reading everyone’s comment on the lights and the issues. I’m glad I canceled way back when

Just need to darken other aspects of the truck to match.

Eg grill inserts

I understand where you are coming from. I placed my original order back at the beginning of October. After the promised shipment was pushed back again, I canceled it in the beginning of March, only to place a new order a week later, because I was told the lights are finally coming out in 2 weeks and I would get them by April 15th. It wasn't true, of course, but low and behold, I got them right before the Memorial Day weekend. Right out of the box, one of the lights was defective. It took 5 days to get a return label, so I am sitting and wondering if it was a mistake to reorder the lights. This is even before I installed them. Who knows what obstacles await me with the installation? I have a 2015 truck with all its possible issues. On the other hand, here on the forum, you mostly read about people with problems. The ones that don't have problems tend not to post anything, so the number of issues is artificially exaggerated! I wonder how many light sets Morimoto has sold so far? My guess is around a thousand maybe? If we combine all the issues we read about here, it won't be more than 50, I believe!

As I posted on the other Morimoto thread, not very reassuring - less than 50% rate of successful installation!

That’s not how statistics, probability theory, or hypothesis testing work unfortunately.

You can tell yourself whatever you want to hear but the numbers are not great. There is also a mountain of posts on the Ford F150 forum for the same light setup rolled out at the same time

Or, call CarId.com, ask them about how happy people have been.

I eventually got my lights working but to see a $1350 product with all the wires mislabeled is a little concerning.

Does anyone know the kelvin rating of the headlights? I know the drl’s are 5000k but the lights look more blue/purpleish. Guessing around 6000k? Wanna match fog light bulbs and don’t wanna buy the morimoto fogs
