LED Seneca Head Lights Replacements

[Roundtowner]

Robbbyr, in reference to your replacement LED headlights, what do you mean "that you got yours as new take offs" and where did you get them?
TIA. This is great information.

They were spotless, obviously never used. They were not packed in the original Freightliner boxes but they were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. I see they have some on their website now marked "blemished" but mine weren't!

Unless you have driven a Freightliner Seneca at night with just halogen bulbs you can't imagine how poorly they illuminate the road, even aimed properly.

Considering the M2 was always designed to be a "day cab". I presume they never fathomed that anyone would want to be driving after sunset in one. I fully believe that they took the day cab chassis and put our Seneca on it... with the intention that we should not be driving at night.

I agree with the group - my 2015 headlights are awful and in my opinion, dangerous. I searched a couple of years ago for a headlight system (bulb & reflector) and had no luck. This looks very promising. Cheers!

Agree... lookin for a price that the "Director of Seneca Expenses" will agree to....

After hitting every bird, bug, groundhog, rabbit, squirrel, prairie dog, who has jumped in our path... It would be awesome to see them before we hit them. Our grille has more pit's from rocks and critters than those lights could possibly have... SOLD!

Check out this other thread where I recommend spraying the headlight mounting studs for several days with a penetrating oul to prevent problems. https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...t-44852-4.html

Other than a thinner wallet you won't regret upgrading!

The housing is specially designed for led and their is only an up down alignment as they provide super flat and wide light coverage. Driving at night used to be a pain as I could not see the ground in front of or to side of the front end. Now the ground and space in front is well lit.

There are other options and I am sure others will pop up and offer their suggestions.

Just purchased some genuine Freightliner Led head lights from someone on the forum for a great price but did not receive any instructions as to how to an adjust them. Can someone please let me know where the adjustment screws are on the Freightliner LED housings? The stock lights were a piece of cake to figure out but I cannot for the life of me figure out the LED’s and for sure don’t want to mess them up. 22 37M

TIA

There is only a vertical adjustment, it takes a 5mm pr 5.5mm socket, I can’t remember. Arrow is pointing to it in this pic.

Thank you I figured it would have something to do with this but was not sure.

Thank you again and have a great week!
