I've noticed my passenger headlight has been pointing down. Went out and looked, the ball/socket has come apart and one of the mounting tabs is broken off. I have 1/4" of washers under both bottom bolts because they weren't even close to aiming right, at max adjust.

These are DEPO's i bought in 2014ish. The amazon reviews still indicate that you have to modify the brackets to aim properly. Seems to also be the case for Spec-D.

Do any "bolt-in" replacement clear corners exist? Or are they all "consumer-make-to-fit"?

 

I got some one piece headlights from eBay for like $60 a couple years ago that are all clear.
They fit great and easily aim plenty far any direction you want them to go.

 

About a month ago I installed some Spyder projector one-piece headlights... they are a good fit and installation was easy... some special wiring but pretty straight forward... I believe Spyder has 2 dual halo models for the Dakotas... I got the ones where one halo is on the low beam and the other is around the turn signal and the front of the headlight protrudes forward of the lens a couple inches for room for the low-beam projector assembly... They were pretty much aligned right after install... however if any adjustments are required you have to pull the headlight to make them (they have adjustment screws but you can't access them while installed).

 

i got mine from carid i think there lumen brand and mounted and adjusted good

 

Are they DNA brand?

 

People used to swear by DEPO and reject DNA. But these DEPO fit horrible, and my friend has DNA's and said they bolted right up. Like they swapped places..

 

Unfortunately I have no idea what brand they are. I do remember being picky about which set I purchased though because some had bad reviews and fitment issues.
Is there a way I can check what brand they are?
