Where did you guys get your lights from and what kind are they again? And do the adjusters work with the aftermarket lights.

I ordered Ebay headlights with the black reflectors and got blacked out lenses. They look sharp, but even after transferring all of the factory hardware, they stick out from the truck. Poor quality and I regret having bought them. I'm still running them until I get replacements. For my blacked out theme, they look awesome. Less light, and just don't follow the lines of the truck. It's a crap shoot ordering China made lights. Keep in mind, changing from factory lenses and bulbs is also ILLEGAL in all 50 states. Most cops don't care, but it is something to consider. Whatever you do, please don't go with HID lighting. There are no HID headlight housing made for the 9th gen trucks and they DO blind oncoming traffic. People will tell you that they do not.....while they are driving the vehicle with the HID's!

IMO the other tail lights look ricer along with the headlights that have those cheap halos and projectors in them.
I'd buy these if i had to do it over again:

Amazon.com: Anzo USA 111247 Clear Headlight for Ford F-150/Bronco: Automotive Amazon.com: Anzo USA 111247 Clear Headlight for Ford F-150/Bronco: Automotive

They are a much higher quality and wouldn't stick out from the truck with the quality control issues that the ebay ones had.

Also, you can and should grab the adjusters from the OEM lights. They are MUCH more durable than the chinese adjusters, which broke on first attempt to adjust.

I'm still happy with my ebay ones, but may eventually shell out the cash and do it right. The ebay ones don't shine light onto the street in a concentrated way. I can see... but it's not as good as factory.

I bought some off Ebay from a guy called "Speed Daddy". How can you forget a name like that. Anyways, they worked pretty good. Like others have said one side does a little off but nobody has noticed it and i'm pretty **** about stuff and it doesn't really bother me. I spent forever trying to get it as straight as possible though on install. My only advice would be to not tighten very hard. I broke a mounting point on each side. It should have 4 holding it but it only has 2. I think I only paid like $75 for the diamond looking headlight assembly and clear turn signal/parking light assembly combined

87-91 are kind of SOL on aftermarket lights, they sell OE replacements but there doesn't seem to be any other variations out there.
