I can't decide between the Sylvania Silver Star Ultras and the Piaa's for my front headlights! Any suggestions or comments? I want them to be bright, but not so much that they blind oncoming traffic.

I wonder since I have a lift if I should have the light angle/focus adjusted.

Angle the mirror up so you can look behind it from the bottom. You should notice a slot just big enough for a flathead screwdriver to fit in. Put the screwdriver in and twist it, loosening the bottom clip. Then work your way up left and right.

Yeah hero I was wondering the same thing - since I have 3" lift if I should refocus them. Nothing's worse than having a 4X4 behind you beaming right into your rearview mirror.
Love the headlight improvement, but looking for more wth the interior lites.

Agree. I love the headlight improvement a bunch. Way better. I like the inside dome light color, but would like it more if it was brighter. Seems a little bit darker now or something.

Hello all, newbie here. This post is for FYI. I was installing PIA white LED in my side mirrors and the drivers side mirror came off great and back on great. Went to the passenger side in kind of a hurry and cracked the mirror. Started prying mirror off form inside of bracket instead of outside of bracket. Did not take my time and do it right and now I have to pay for it. I'm getting the mirror at dealer cost $25. Retail is $46 and of course it is on back order but should get it in a week. For all of you out there the install is easy I just was in to much of a hurry and didn't take my time like I should have. I hope this helps.

After I took off my mirrors, I put a little silicone lube on the place where it pops back in to, helped a bunch with that sickening feeling like you are going to crack it putting it back on too.
