HOW are they adjustable? Sounds like a pain. I know the headlights in my mb just have two dials, one for right/left and one for up/down adjustment...pull up on level ground to a brick wall - baddaboombadddabing! How do these work?
PS they look pretty cool. I little ricey, but cool.

So what I did was made adjustments, pushed the headlight assy. into place and checked the alignment. If it needed more, pop it loose, turn the screws and check again. Took me maybe 15 minutes for the whole thing.
Once your satisfied, install the three mounting bolts and your done.

Jc9995,
Were you finally able to get them aligned well?
When you say you have to splice the halo lights into your parking lights, does that mean that you can leave them disconnected if you wanted? I don't seem to hot on the idea of trying to make my truck look like a BMW.
Finally, did the manufacturer/seller say it would be ok to run HID lamps in the low beam fixture?
Sorry for all the questions, these have peaked my interest but i'm an overly careful shopper.

I have not asked the seller about HID bulbs, but I dont see why it would be a problem. HID runs much cooler than halogen, so heat isnt an issue.
The halo lights have seperate wires coming out of the back of the fixture, so you can opt to not hook them up.
I am careful too, and even went as far as contacting previous eBay buyers of these headlights, but never did get a response, so I am more than happy to share what little knowledge I have in this puny brain of mine. (my wifes words not mine).

Does the seller of the light kits also sell the HID/Ballast kits? If I could get the whole package from 1 source, I'd feel more comfortable with the compatibility of pieces. They do look good, wouldn't mind seeing a set with the black background.
