Default Anyone have the Ford Raptor OEM HID Projector Headlights?

I really want HID Projector headlights for my truck because of the drastic visibility difference to the standard halogens, and the aesthetics as well. I'm thinking of buying these from Stage 3 Motor Sports.

1. Does anyone have these specific headlights on their truck? The Raptor gray bezel looks really good in person, and when I visualize them on my Sterling Gray truck, I can't help but think how good they will look. (Don't get me wrong, the black bezel headlights look good as well.)

2. Installation seems pretty straight forward. Anyone who has bought these from this vendor, what was your experience like?

I have the hid's on my fx4 there pretty much the same as the raptors
I also changed the bulbs to the 8000k hid bulbs and it's way brighter every time I drive past a f150 with halogens my lights over take there's way worth it

I would like to see pictures of these as well. I feel like the black will look too dark on my Limited and I don't want the chrome.

Installation is easy. Power from the battery. A ground on each side. Mount the harness's relay and plug everything in. Those lights are done by The Lighting Firm for Stage3...reviews of TLF are hit and miss. Good luck with your purchase.

Takes longer to get them out of the box than to install them. Unless the supplier ships you a broken one and you have to wait a few weeks to get it taken care of. I like the looks. The performance is marginal. A lot of people will say upgrade to the better projector or at least to the D1s ballast. I haven't yet but anything would be an improvement.

If you want better lighting go away from the bluish 8000k and get down in the 4300-5000k range!

Marginal,over what?

HIDs will blow halogen away!

In this field you get what you pay for, I paid a bit more from Bilinvic but I got great customer service before, during, and after. Shipping was perfect in OEM box (no damage), and everything was in perfect condition.

I believe this is an option through Stage 3.

I had 4300k in my previous vehicle's projectors (Lancer), and it was perfect. It is such a PITA going from those to halogens. I feel like I can't see anything.

These look awesome (black bezel/black paint). I'm really thinking the grey bezel/grey paint will look good too.
