They look aftermarket .
If they are ? They are junk , Sorry
Try and find some stock headlights with hid projectors.
I bought a Denali SUV a few years back that had some aftermarket ones in it. Took them out and put stock ones back in as couldn't even lined up and light beam,was terrible.

Completely agree, putting stock FX4 lights in next week, just trying too figure out why such a great looking light can be so bad

Because Function, and Fashion are not the same thing. If you want good aftermarket lights, they will be Very expensive. Good, but expensive. Changing the bulb or light behind it can make more of a difference.

Thanks Ric, the bulbs are H1 ,dealer I bought it from is putting in stock lights Monday or Tuesday, it's a Saftey issue and I fought with the dealer and finally got them too change them out, I will however likely upgrade the bulbs when there done with it.

Got the new lights installed finally, wholly I can see again. Was a gong show , learned persistence pays off. I wish I would have taken it home for the weekend and drove it for a few hours before committing , ya just never quit learning too keep up with there tricks. They installed my crappy headlights in another truck.............wow !
