    I drive 10 minutes to work, and get flashed like 3 times every morning. I really get there attention when I flash them back. Truck came with SYLVANIA 9006 Basic Halogen Headlight Bulb.

    Maybe they’re pointed up too high. Try adjusting them down with a little knob on the left if your truck has it. If anything our lights aren’t bright enough for me.

    Every time I’ve upgraded to just a brighter version of a stock headlight I don’t get much life span out of them. Did yours last you?

    Also when you change the lightbulbs do you take the front grill off and pull the whole headlight out to change it or do you come in through the fender liner?

    By the way, that cheap fabric rubber they put behind the headlights is trash! Mine is already ripped and I never touched it. Almost like the wind blew it out.

    I have dial on 4. It looked like the lights point towards ground. I Think 0 is level. Thanks

    It’s probably just because you are big and tall in your truck and your headlights are naturally going to be pointed towards the eyes of a low commuter car.

    I purchased truck last September not sure on life span of lights. They where in truck when I got it. I just reached in popped wire harness off has one clip, then just quarter turn pops right out. It is really tight, but works.
