    No, the sypders do not come with the motors so you will lose the function to adjust the headlights from the cab

    However, I believe (I've read somewhere where someone did) you could strip your OEM's of their leveling motors and installed them onto the Spyders. When I had my Spyders I thought about doing it, but was afraid to try. You should ask someone with retrofitting skills about this ... @eledobleu

    The only reason why I'm concerned about it is my truck has a 7 inch lift and I had to adjust the lights because I was blinding people from behind ..

    You can still manually adjust the angle of the headlights. I'm sitting on around 3" of lift and I angled the spyders a little lower to not blind people.. but at 7" there may not be a whole lot you can do lol

    In-cab adjuster won't adjust enough. You will have to adjust manually to where you want them to be. In-cab adjustor comes handy when you are hauling stuff (and your rear sits too low).
