I'm pretty sure it's physically impossible for a halogen bulb to discriminate where it projects light........but lxman could always copy and paste his email so I can complain about the same thing and get another set for free

Did you take the whole housing out?

You also got to remember, those bulbs burn a lot hotter than stock, the way the light looks on pavement is going to be totally different.

 

Like I said, it may be the color/brightness and the way it reflects creating an illusion.

Notice how at first glance, the Silverstar seems to be aimed lower. (sorry for margin rape)

 

The up down adjustment screws is under the light and above the bumper where it is hard to see. Using a T20 torx You have to push down on the plastic under your head light to see it. That is your up and down adjustment. Counter clockwise will raise the beam and clockwise will lower. The left and right adjustment is on the side of the light...

 

sweet!!! thanks man. im gonna check that out first thing in the morning.

 

Mine do the same thing. Let me look up the e-mail and see if I still have it and I will pm you a copy.

 

I just put a set of Silverstar Ultras in my truck this morning. I have to check this phenomenon out for myself...

 

Well, I removed the whole doghouse and there is only the one outer adjustment. Nothing between the bumper and light.
The insert is not solidly mounted inside of the whole assembly, but is non adjustable. I'll ask my dealer at the next oil change.
It might be there on the 02-05, but not on my 08!!! Bummer. There is not even an Ultra out for the 08 yet. We use a 9008 (H13) bulb. I do have the ultra's in my driving lights and they are very bright!!

 

I am sorry, I didnt see you had an 08. 02-05 1500 and 03-05 2500-3500 has 2 adjustment screws...

 

OK so I was was looking at a of pair of headlights I have torn apart to paint just in case I have to adjust them and yea the Haynes manual that I quoted in an earlier post is 100% wrong. The up and down adjustment screw in in the rear of the headlight not in the front.

Here is what Haynes manual says:


Here is actuality:

Front left and right adjustment.


Rear up and down adjustment.

 

so how bout i go out to my truck yesterday evening to try and adjust my lights and i find that both the adjusting screws underneath the lights are busted off! and on top of that only one of the ones on the side even works!! the other one is so stripped out that i couldnt turn it!! so i guess its time to pick up some projector lights!! ebay here i come!!!! lol
