I did spend some time aiming the lights after install to get the cut-off height perfectly even and approximately tire-width apart. Aiming is done via the brass rods on the flip-up assembly. Some PB Blaster and a 1/4 socket worked well to turn the rods.

For color I went with pure white 5000K.

Are they easy to adjust?

Thanks

We can reverse the cutoff pattern for RHD vehicles. There is an additional $50 fee to convert to RHD projectors.

Default Questions

George,

Once purchased, are instructions provided for installation of the high4 harness and light housings? And if I understand your products description, the high-beams and lo-beams are on simultaneously, and beam height is adjusted separately, with the same adjustments used for the stock halogens?

Thanks.

Instructions can be downloaded here:

Low beams will remain on with high beams. Beam high is adjusted simultaneously. The dedicated high beam produces a flood pattern that has no reference point from which to aim. The only aiming you will do is for the low beam. You will use the factory adjusting rods (just make sure to spray the adjuster gearbox with WD-40 or similar to make sure the gears don't seize/break when you adjust them.

George,

Thanks for the reply. With the high and low-beams on simultaneously, will the fog lights still be active/on?

Thanks.

No, if your high beams are turned on, the fog lights will shut off. This is not only for legal purposes, but also for visibility.

Fog lights are designed to project light short range just in front of the car to provide visibility in poor weather conditions when this is as far as you can see.

Low beam headlight are for normal city/suburban night driving and project the furthest possible distance without producing glare to oncoming traffic.

High beam headlights project light the furthest possible without concern for oncoming traffic. The objective is to see objects as far away as possible. If your fog lights are on with the high beams, the road nearest the car will be illuminated substantially more than the road further away. This will actually make it harder to see objects in the distance illuminated by your high beams.

With our headlights, there is no need to run your fog lights for additional light except in poor visibility weather.

George,

As long as my expensive (purchased from you) fog lights are not rendered useless, and can still be activated on the fly, I'm good with that.

Default Failed attempts to contact you!

I would appreciate it very much if you would reply to my efforts to contact you about making a deposit. I started e-mailing you last week and I felt sure that you would reply by now. I noticed that you pulled the advertisements for the V3 flush mount lights and I hope you haven't gone out of business. If you are still selling the ACA Bi-Xenon headlights please let me know. - Thanks. Cliff Waxler

Oh certainly you can still use them. You just won't need to in most cases.

I am sorry we have not gotten back with you, however I do not see any emails from you.

Please confirm you're sending your email to: radioflyer97@gmail.com

alternatively, you can use the contact us form here:
https://shop.radioflyerinnovations.com/contactus.sc

Regarding the Flush mount headlights, we are having some technical issues getting the main lenses manufactured to the quality we expect. The current shop doing the forming has tried several avenues of rectifying the issue with no success. I have an appointment with another shop Wednesday that has a higher level of confidence in their ability to provide a quality product. I have removed both the SLC V3 headlights and the SLC V3 replacement lens/shroud products from our website only until I can get these issues resolved. I anticipate we should have them back up on the website in about 1-2 weeks.

George are you still selling the V3 cannons. I did not see them listed on your web site. Also my friend has a set of your ACA lights on his 01 vert. He is having a problem with the left low beam not coming on sometimes. Replaced the bulb and ballast. Still intermittent operation. Any suggestions.

We do however they have been removed from our website while a production glitch involving the main lenses is remedied. I'm expecting a sample batch of formed lenses from the new factory this week. If the issue has been resolved, the lights will go back on the website.
