I hear you. I WAS that guy, technically for about 2 weeks, but I only drove it twice at night. the first time was right after I did them and late at night just to see how they did. I did not encounter any other drivers. The 2nd time was almost 2 weeks later I drove the truck at night and the poor girl I "spotlighted" had to be temporarily seeing spots because I lit up the entire interior of her car and the expression on her face was priceless, but I also felt like a total *** at that point.
the HID's came out of the head lights the next day. I still have them in the fog lights but as far as I can tell, they dont bother anyone.

Thanks. I was just getting ready to search for some threads on them.

Put your truck on a level surface 25 feet from a wall on that wall draw a line at the 3 foot height from the ground. The headlamps should have a dark band that is the headlamp cut off. The dark band should be right on the line. All FORD vehicles in north america are set up that way, this is called VOR. All cars and trucks must follow this rule

Adjust each lamp using a screw on top of the lamp, all you need is a #2 Phillips, and move the beam pattern below the line, make sure to do slowly and I would cover one lamp so you adjust one at a time. Also I would have a full tank of gas, this would be worst case.

This is easy any person can adjust there lamps and make them safe for you and the traffic around you...

BTW the lamps must be adjustable it is the law

GOOD LUCK

You can get the same bulbs off Ebay for $50-60.

I have them on mine.

You can adjust all you want but HID bulbs in halogen housings scatters light all over. I was that guy also for a time and had mine adjusted way down so as not to blind oncoming and it was useful especially on highs but saved up from Bilinvic retros.

Just wanted to say it's great to see that there are people in this thread that have the courtesy and common sense not to run lighting that blinds other drivers (eg. HID bulbs in halogen housings).

Usually, these lighting threads are full of a "f*ck you" attitude when it comes to choosing proper lighting that doesn't scatter light everywhere or to aiming their lights after doing a lift.

This thread is a nice change.

I'm running Sylvania XtraVision bulbs in my 2010 F150 and they seem pretty good. The high beams are a bit weak but that is due Ford's choice to use a combined high and low beam bulb IMO. Separate bulbs are better since the lows and highs can have their own reflector housings and better beam spread.

Not so much the combined bulb, more the shape of the reflector bucket, my 07 lite the road up great with a set of Sylvania ultras hi and low bean, they had the old 7" round bucket that put light where it needed to be like a focused mag light beam. These things throw light all over on high.

I will add that F150LEDS has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced along with fast shipping. Their install videos are very helpful as well.
