Headlight Replacement & Adjustment

A while back I was driving the Mustang late in the evening and turned on the headlights.  I was immediately greeted by some poorly aligned and very yellow lighting.  I mentally put it on the list to address at some point and ended up buying some LED headlights on Amazon this week.

I purchased some relatively inexpensive Sealight LED 9004 bulbs as I've used some of their other smaller LEDs before.  The bulb seems be rather well constructed and the led panels are placed appropriately to work with the halogen lens.  They cost $35, have a 6500k light color, and are rated at 70,000 lumens.


When I pulled the bulbs from the car, I found they are already a slightly upgraded model made by Pierce.  They are rated to have 6000k light color but they seem far more yellow than that suggests.  These can be purchased on Amazon for around $25.


I should have taken a before an after picture but didn't.  I was so shocked by how much brighter they were, I did take this picture after installing them.  As you can see, some adjustment of the headlights is needed.
