    Ive got the OEM LEDs. Not all that impressed really. Maybe i need to double check the aiming perhaps theyre slightly low. Does anyone have the ones from Form Lighting or seen comparisons? are they any brighter? Good build quality?

    Did your truck come with OEM leds or did you add them? I switched to the OEM leds from the halogens and its literally night and day improvement. Yes, I'm sure there are better headlights but I feel like they are more than sufficient. I've never heard of Form Lighting so I can't help there.

    What harness did you use when you switched from the halogens to the LEDs?

    I agree with @RobertD
    Coming from stock halogen headlights to OEM LED was a phenomenal upgrade.
    One thing about the OEM LED upgrade was I was able to keep amber DRLs during the day and the dim white strips come on with parking and headlights.


    As far as Form, I have no experience with them.

    Their projector headlights are ugly IMHO

    Their LED reflector headlight pretty much looks like OEM LED.

    One advantage to the Form I could see is the amber sequential turn signal is kinda cool..

    I would certainly measure your current setup and make sure they are adjusted properly.
    The simplest way?
    When it's a little dark pull up to a garage door or wall (25' or so) and make sure they are even.
    Use the independent adjustment if needed.
    At night when you pull up behind a Camary or similar-sized vehicle, use your leveler to adjust so your beams are not in their rear window or side mirror.

    Or you can really get technical and watch a bunch of youtubes on headlight adjustment.

    I had one a little lower than the other when I did my LED conversion.
    I had to do a little adjustment.

    This one is a little technical and might give you a headache watching..:eek2:

    No, the regular turn signal DRL like the old halogens had..
    I don't like the bright white LED strips during the day.
