Default Got my Halo Headlights in

I got my lights in, they arent as bright as I though they would be, and I cant find any way to adjust them, they are a little low. Does anybody have any info on it?
Here is a before and after daytime, then an after night time.

I must have missed class that day. What are Halo lights and what do they do?

They are projector beam headlights that have a Halo light ring around them. They don't really do anything other than produce light.

Unfortunantly I have read more than one person getting rid of them because the light they put out is just not enough.

I am going to get some brighter bulbs for it today, and if they still arent good enough I am going to put the old ones back in. I am going to take the stock ones apart and paint them black.

You know, one of the things that impressed me most and was one of the first things I noticed about these trucks is how good the stock headlights (not the bulbs) actually area. They really do have a good pattern to them.

Going from my '04 F250 to this, the lights were 100% better. I hated those headlights on that thing.

After switching the bulbs to the Silverstar Ultra's, they're awesome. I tried the PIAA's, but the SS's are brigher and they don't cost $70+

I also put in the Silverstars and have been very impressed. I like the looks of those Halo lights. Hopefully you can get something that works well for ya. If so, I might have to get me a set of those.

So you think the headlights are weak, I've thought about getting some to go with the black truck, but don't want dimmer lights than stock!

What bulbs seem to work best in the stockers?

Keep us posted with this, I love the look of the halo's but I also like to be able to see and while some may disagree the stock lights kick a$$.

Aren't the Silverstars a higher wattage? Won't that effect the wireing?
