Question for those with these installed, how did everyone run their DRL hardness out of the fuse box? Did you just close the fuse box lid over the wire coming out?

Fair enough. Shortcomings or not, between here and social media groups, I've seen enough of the product over the last month to say they look and probably perform better than the stock halogen units. For the cost, I'm working willing to give them a try.

Yep. I ran it out towards the fender. Closed Just fine with light pressure.

The XB's have a pretty good throw down the road, but I agree they are definitely weak lighting up the sides. I definitely recommend running fogs lights with them, as the difference is pretty noticeable.
Will definitely be keeping them. Build quality is really good and they look amazing with the DRLs. The blacked out look with the 3 separate LED projector housings looks pretty bad ass.
With fog lights on.
With fog lights off.
Matches the color of the stock 2019+ LED fog lights.

Your aiming of lights is off. I set mine with laser level and with fogs you should not have the dark area upfront as you do. no offense but for peeps rude enough to run fogs all the time they should at least be set right not to sucker punch drivers in their eyes

There is a video somewhere (I think) in this thread that shows how to run it out the engine side of the box

I would move it. go over a few to many bumps and it will cut right through the wire. I might be wrong but would not chance it. I didn't know about the video and dremeled spot for the wire.

Are you saying my headlights are off or the fogs? I did my best to do the adjustment using the 25' method and the aiming guide provided by Morimoto.

Looks like the fogs are high. front of the truck should have little to no dark area. 25' method is tricky. most surfaced concrete is pitched for rain runoff or interior drainage. Even flat looking lots are off. I drove all over and the best I found was about an inch off pitch using a laser level. not the end the world but ask women, that inch matters

Yeah adjusting the lights took longer than the install itself. I did not touch the fog lights, as these came stock on the truck. So I'd like to think they were properly adjusted from the factory.

In highly doubt that it would cut the wire. It barely left an indentation on the wires insulation. The fender side has a smaller lip/ridge than the firewall side.
I’ll still probably dreamed a spot next time I do my oil though.

Maybe runners are different, I tried up and over and without even fully locked in put a heck of a crease in the wire

I've been wanting to see how these look from afar on that color because I'm envious of people that have it.

For folks who installed the the XB headlights.....does the bumper under the headlights feel like its flexing? Mine kind of wobbles when I push on the front bumper right next to the fog lights. (just curious if I installed the front bumper wrong or if it's naturally like this).
