Yah, okay, I did it. My question is for others who done it.

HOW DO YOU AIM THEM ?

The only instructions they came with is how to install them. Nothing said about how to index and aim. Right now they seem to be way high and Have no idea where the high beam is going.

Are you putting them in a factory-style reflector housing? I put some LEDs in the high beams on my Sport lamps and just got random light, like you would get from a table lamp. No focused beam at all. I don't think you can really aim it to improve the beam, unless you use a projector housing. People say that they're so bright that they are still an improvement from a regular halogen bulb though. I'm not sure how blinding they are to oncoming traffic, like I said, my LEDs are only in the high beam spot and I don't have any experience using them as low beams.

The LEDS are 3 sided. The collar can be indexed in one of 4 positions 90° apart. I put them in as they came out of the the box with the single furthest back LED segment down.

Find a shop (either an old-time garage or collision shop) that has a headlight-aiming machine. When I did my sport-headlight conversion, I went to an old-time garage around the corner from my parents that I remembered had one and always used it on annual vehicle inspections

Aiming the housings is easy. Indexing the LED isn't because of access. I only want to do this once, not 3 more times.

I'm pulling them out and going back to halogens. I don't have the time or a strong enough wrist to keep taking them out and putting them back in again. Plus my other truck is going into the shop for more transmission work.

They're gone. Tried every possible combination and no way.

I went through three different LED bulb sets and couldn't get one that had enough light for me. I also noticed a decidedly wide spread on the light. They work well in the fog lights though? The spread work out well when it's lower to the ground.
I ended up swapping the 55W halogens for 100W versions. THEY ARE BRIGHT! they also focus well and the high beams really reach out.

They are a PIA to get straightened out if you got the ones we put in our work trucks...I was blinding oncoming drivers so after a week of screwing around with them, back to Sylvania blues for me....that was in a Ford F150 that was easy to access also!!

Are you buying the cheap leds off ebay? You might have the wrong power pack for the lights. I delt with that on my Honda. But swapped to the gtr lighting for it later no issues an just did one on my truck. I'm going to post pics of it all. Was a easy swap just had to add a harness swapping the wires around for the ground an high/low beams because I went to 9007 leds for the stock 9004 halogens was like $15 to make the new harness
