Mine stayed at the same angle (I checked it at install and even adjusted it based on oncoming driver feedback)
I THINK I looked up the lumens of the lights I had previously used and bought the same/most similar I could find. It was definitely one of those things I spent at least some time researching. I actually returned the first set I ordered and got a different set.
And I’m not one of those savages that runs my fog lamps 24/7 either.
So that left me at the temp being the main difference maker as to why it was blowing people out. At least to my estimation. And like I said, I’ve seen new SUVs and even cars that blew me out and my truck does sit on the higher side I would estimate (it’s stock, but the suspension is designed with clearance for light off-road duty)
- muzika 5y agoThe issue is that the LEDs are concentrated in a slightly different area of the housing than a filament on an incandescent bulb, so the rays are not all reflected as expected when an LED bulb is installed.
- bradlys 5y agoYou might’ve thought you angled them correctly but leds literally don’t emit light in the same way and the “bulbs” are never the exact same shape. This creates hotspots and light scattering in directions that aren’t intended. No amount of “aiming”/leveling the headlights will fix that. The housing for many halogen based car lights is very specific. It’s completely designed around a specific light bulb and doesn’t have as much tolerance as you might think.
