I don't have any complaints about the hand tools I've bought from them. I did buy a tabletop belt sander that I'm not impressed with at all.

You need to angle them up a little more. They're shining straight down on the road in front of you which is actually making your vision worse.

Did you look at the pictures?

They are at the same height as my low beams. Look at the last two pictures at the horizon, it's lighting up the house a 1/4 mile down the road.

Yes, I did. And the last picture shows how poorly you have them aimed. You have them pointing down at the ground in front of the truck. Hence that giant washed out white blur of light in the road. This is a very bad thing to do. It makes your vision at night worse, and gains you nothing as far as distance.

Here, I drew you a picture showing where your lights are pointing now, vs where they should be.
