Eagle Eyes FR457-B101L and B101R

30 Minute Job that's super easy.

3ea 10mm bolts to remove and its plug and play. The lowest bolt doesn't get removed. Just loosen it and the old/new light will slide in/out

They will fade in 2 years.... Eagle eyes suck..... CAPA certified are the way to go.

Do you have to realign the headlight beams after a swap like this?

I haven't even driven it at night yet so I'm not sure. It looks like a reasonably easy job to readjust if they need it though.

I've been planning on replacing mine also, so I was curious. I plan to park a moderate distance away from my closed garage door and mark my current beam alignments on it with blue tape. After replacing the headlights, I'll compare the new beam locations with the old locations.
Just wondering if I need to go to all that trouble.

Normally a small adjustment is needed, But that's easy...
 
Like Todd said, some adjustment is needed with new headlight assemblies, but not much. A few years ago I made up my own bi-xenon projector headlights and used the method you described to get the initial adjustment for the new lights by comparing the blue tape position I made before removing the old lights. The distance to my markings was about 25ft to the truck.
