Very Nice! I love the quick latches! They help get rid of the bumper sag! As for the headlights..

Side note: I got my Morimoto Fog Lights installed this weekend!

Mine didn't have the leveling motors to plug into, just the actuator to switch to high beams.

AUTO leveling is for cars that have sensors built into them that will level the beams depending on the weight in the car and the angle of the hill.

We have a electronic control on the inside of the cabin via a switch.

the headlights themselves still have a manual adjustment on the back. Pop the hood, then stick a screwdriver into the adjustment knob and adjust their height according to spec... just like every car before them. EVEN if you have the electronic adjustment you can manually adjust them.

Hmm i didnt see the normal couple adjustment screws/bolts, but then again i only had to worry about that on old trucks that were pretty obvious to adjust. The morimotos have that small sealed electronic unit on the back that i thought was to be plugged in, allowing for manual adjustment from inside, I may be mistaken, or maybe i forgot a plug. Ill look in the AM when im out of work.

I'll have to sort out an issue. I wired in an aux fuse box at the same time I did headlights. Everything works well with the exception of the dimming feature on the clock and radio. I'm either full bright or nothing on the clock and dim on the radio, then when headlights are on I'm in max dim on clock and radio... hmm
