Upgrading the headlights next weekend. New units should arrive this week. Decided to go with these replacements and I got some Amazon special LED lights for low and high beams before I spend the big bucks on high quality LED lights.

Gonna buy some silicone and hit all the seams just to double cover to make sure no water leaks or condensation occurs.

Can’t wait to get them swapped in. Think it will be a big facelift!

Also put some dielectric grease on the bulb gaskets. You also MIGHT need to transfer your oem headlight rear adj brackets. Usually the aftermarket brackets are cheap and flimsy.

Got the new headlights I stalled today. They are a little smaller than the OEM headlights so there is some space around the headlights. The bottom LED bars are not program/wired right so I’ll have to call CarID to see if they can swap them out but other than that I love the new look. I’ll see how the LED headlights do tonight when we get the alignment done.

I like the aftermarket lights, but the bad thing is the gap. You can adjust so many times and can never get it right. If I'm not mistaken someone here did something to fill in the gaps, juat can't remember who is was that did it.

luckily imperfect gaps don’t bother me all too much. The HD Hood has it’s on gap issues too. I’ll search around and see if I can find that thread too

I didn’t measure but I just think the after market lights are just smaller. The adjustment brackets are the same size tho for what I can tell

@Rocket Man did it on the beast. Hopefully he'll chime in.

This was the led light issue on the lower headlights.

the strip on the driver side works but the small side marker doesn’t. The pssenger side strip doesn’t work but the small side marker does. ‍♂️♂️
