Form Lighting Headlight Install

[Darnon]

My point was simply that it's more important to design an easily replaceable system when it's a system that has parts that are expected to be replaced more frequently.

And there's lots of vehicles made in the past two decades that require partial/complete removal of the bumper to get at the headlight housings for a bulb replacement.

Wow! It sucks to see People are spending over a $1000 on a product that was waaaay overhyped just to get and install them, then do it again due to a "known" issue? And they just keep pumping out the same trash. I know DD bulbs/parts/ etc are generally good, but the finished product regardless of looks is not panning out to be much better than average Chinese Ebay crap.
Only 3 pages and 4 people having issues. Comforting. Screams quality.

I've never owned one. All of the vehicles I've owned in the past two decades had direct access to the back of the housings to replace headlight bulbs. The Maverick is the first I've owned that requires bumper removal to access the housings.

It only takes me about 15 minutes to remove the bumper and grille on the Maverick, so even if I had to do that every 8-10 years, it's not a big deal. It's not likely I will since I normally get more life than that out of a halogen bulb. I have a 14 year old car with 150K miles with all of the original bulbs.

If you paid attention to the end of the video you use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the light output. yours obviously need to be raised.

If you paid attention, you would have seen that I tried that to no avail, and Form Lighting told me that the adjustment screws had vibrated loose during shipping. Apparently that sometimes happens. I was able to fix one of the lamps while it was still installed, but I had to remove the drivers side lamp in order to get the screw to thread back into the adjustment mechanism.

Ok so i need to thread the adjust screw back into some how?
My issue is both headlamps... but i can live with the passenger height its the driver thats way too high

EDIT! False alarm! i just realized there is TWO adjustment screws! I was playing with that lower one on the right...and now that im looking at it with a flash light to take photos i found this upper adjustment screw and its working! So ill assume that 2nd one is probably for the high beams..im so happy i dont have to take it all apart again...

Yeah, you want to use the top adjustment screws for the main lamps.

The other screw is for horizontal adjustment. In theory, it shouldn't need to be touched once it leaves the factory. You should probably check the horizontal aiming since you messed with it.

I would definitely cover those wires with some tessa tape.

Perhaps you missed the part of Jahson’s post where he stated that he tried to adjust his headlights using the adjustment screws but it didn’t seem to work for him.

Apparently I did, oh well.
