I am wondering if this affecting just pre 2015 trucks? I know 2015+ trucks had to be done differently when installing as far as resistors and needed the anti-flicker, than on the 2014 trucks.

This is why I didn't mind the early buyers getting the air shipped ones vs the boat... early problems can get looked at before bulk go out. Sucks for the early buyers, but being the guinea pigs helps others. So hats off to the early buyers for this service to the rest of the group.

So that output pic is both low and highs?? The stock projectors high beams I find throw light not too bad, but the stock lows are horrrible. If you can post pics of both low and high outputs. Thank you for posting your review and pics!!

Does your passenger side beam angle up like that? Seems odd.

I played with the adjustment a little bit on the driver side but honestly it's a pain in the ass to adjust these. You have to pull out the headlight then turn the adjustment screws. I am wondering if adjusting the headlights to point a little more outward if that would really increase the beam width. Tempted to raise them just a hair... maybe.
Did you end up fine tuning the aiming of the lights yet when you got them in? Thanks again

I see him lurking on this thread. I'm not to sure there is going to be a "fix" for that. I thought if you've got an angle like that it means the projector is tilted a bit in it's mounting bracket.

Yeah. I think mine is slightly off but not that bad.

Wow that seriously sucks. All that delay, R&D, money, more delay, and you have to remove them to adjust? Not to mention the error messages and whatever other issues people are having. Not what I expected for the price nor delay to make sure we got the "best headlights made".

Gotta admit I’m slightly disappointed also. But they are in the process of making it right

Honestly having to remove them to adjust them is just dumb, very poor design. That's enough to put me off on buying a set alone.

I'm with you, they are nice but not 2K nice for these early issues already. Morimoto needs to correct they're issues and let them come down in price. I'd have a pair then. I'd be furious with issues at the price, significant chunk of change.

Believe you have to take the stock ones out to aim them too correct?? Think that's just rams design. Nothing on morimoto for that

No you aim stock from access holes in the top of the fender.

That attitude will just make them more of a rarity for those of us who bought them so hopefully more people think the same way [emoji106]
