    Yes, they come with the headlights. So if you want to run LED or HID you need to buy H9.

    Look for this on the back of the headlight, the bolt in the middle is something like a 7mm or 8mm. Turn the bolt with a ratchet & socket, but leave the white nylon wing nut alone, unless you are removing it to install the motors. If I remember right, clockwise is down, counter-clockwise is up.

    I just went ahead after they were installed last night and adjusted them while on the truck with an 8mm socket rolled my setting down to 0 and adjusted them manually to what I think 0 should be ,that worked perfectly ! but another issue when I installed them I noticed they didn't seat very well against the body on the sides , the headlight body itself any ideas on that ? Seems like it may be touching on the back side of the light kinda at the top , did you have any issues with that ?

    I did not, they fit perfect on my truck, but the guy that bought them from me did. When I was installing them in his truck, they just tapped the top of the core support on the front and back side, just took pushing the metal back a little bit. The core support above the headlights is just sheet metal bent i to the shape of a "n" and it's fairly easy to bend. In the 2 pics below I'll point out where they made contact in his truck, I just pushed each side of the metal to make clearance needed, making the shape of the sheet metal more like "n", if that makes any sense. On his truck there was only contact on the driver's side, the passenger side was fine.
