I just ordered a set..hope I have better luck than you Did you align the headlights after install?

 

Note: I have all stock suspension- no lift.

I installed these a couple days ago. They are better/brighter than stock. However, I didn't re-aim them.
But I do think itsarubiconday has a point. The internal bars probably slightly interfere with the beams.

I read there is one t-15 torx adjusting screw per light. Some people said they didn't need to remove the grill to access it, but on mine, the clearance in the "divot" is almost nil. I don't want to gore my plastic grill by jamming a torx driver in there. Any ideas besides removing the grill again [I had to remove it to install the headlights]. Maybe a slimline torx driver?

I hope aiming these will improve the pattern down road. I read somewhere that you measure from the bulb to the ground, and then park 25' away from a flat wall. Put tape on the wall at the same height, and then adjust the "hot points" to that. Is that correct?
One guy though, said to switch to high beam and do adjustments on highbeam. ?? That seems wrong. Anyone got a definitive procedure?

Often, when reading posts about a subject I find disagreement about what is the "right" part or procedure. It can get confusing!!

 

Can you post a pic of the lights on and a view of how much light they put out?Did you use the crappy bulbs that came with the lights or use others?

 

All I am gonna say is they are the Hyper White version that I have and have no regrets...

 

Yeah thats right I saw your lights on another thread I hope mine are as bright as yours

 

I may have a chance to post a pic. I'll have to borrow a digital camera, tho.

As far as the bulbs, they delta's came with their own xenon bulbs. I removed the stock lamps with the bulbs still in them.

I just adjusted my lights and will see if my down road visibility is better now. I went out and bought a t-15 torx screwdriver from the auto parts store for about $4.

I pulled back 25' and put tape on the wall at the center of the headlight measurement. Then I had to remove the grill to really get access to the t-15 torx screws. Then I dialed the "hotpoints" in at just slightly below the tape.

Did I do it right? I suppose so. I'll find out in the next few drives if i start getting flashed.

 

Well, nobody flashed me. And on low beam I can see farther. High beam casts an odd pattern.

One thing that is definitely unappealing is that there is very little side light output. When you drive down a dark curvy street it is disconcerting when you can't see what's coming up on the next turn

Also see below the email is sent to quadratec:

I did get these headlights and installed them, but I have a few concerns. I appears there is a design in the lenses that slants at a 35% angle a little more than halfway accross the front of the lens. What concerns me is that this feature is on the right side of each unit. > > It seems as if there should be an opposing angle on one of the units, making them one for the left and one on the right. Is this design [with both on the right side] correct? Or did I recieve two units for one side of the jeep?

They responded:

This is correct and how the units are made. It is like this because of the way the vehicle is designed to be driven and for a better light spread where needed.

I don't know if this correct do ya'll??

 

I sent an inquiry to Delta lights and got the following response:

"The lights are correct. It is made to illuminate the right side of the road as well as in front of the vehicle. That is so you can see the shoulder of the road while driving at night."

Well, its not like there is NO sidelight, but maybe I'm just seeing the really bright light in front and maybe there is such a contrast that I'm perceiving the difference as "night and day"?

I've looked into the Cibie or Hella solution. What do you think?

 

With the stock headlights on a lifted Jeep I needed to turn on the fogs to at least give me the illusion that I could see where I was going.
Since I installed the harness, Cibies and the Osram 80/85 bulbs, there is no need for the fogs at all, but I sometimes run them 'cause you lose a lot of side light when you flash the brights with the Cibies.
The Cibies are so good, and the sharp cutoff allows you to run them so high that I rarely use the brights.
And I haven't been flashed yet!

I would still like to throw a set of HID bulbs in these housings, just to see how it would turn out.

 

Try silverstar ultra bulbs in the dletas..the blue bulbs you get with the deltas suck a$$ I changed them and wow what a difference and they are not the ricer blue tint that the delta bulbs were.I did however have to re-aim my lights...they were up too high for some reason.Super easy though and I still think I need to lower them a bit still.
