Default Replacing 2011 F150 Headlights

I have a 2011 F150 FX4, it comes stock with the "black headlights" which i was satisfied with, looks wise, until lately (like any truck owner). I have been looking through aftermarket brands such as Recon, Anzo, etc. and i am not a big fan of the looks of their products. The one product that has really caught my eye is the STOCK OEM black projector headlights found in the 2013-Newer F150's (Good job Ford).


So my question is; will 2013 Ford headlights fit into my 2011? If so how hard is altering the wiring needed or is it basically just plug and play? I would appreciate any help or info on the matter!

physically, they will fit, but to get the projectors to work you'll need the ballast and harness from ford also, the project can get pricey quick,with the headlights themselves at over 1k alone but if your ok with that and decent with wiring it can be done. i haven't tried but others have, infact I've seen videos of it on youtube. i believe its just a matter of plugging and unplugging, not cutting but don't hold me to that

They will fit. You just have to order the wiring harness, and it is plug and play. You can get the lights from either raptor retrofit.com or Projectoretrofit.com

i know the headlights from raptor retrofit are plug and play and come with everything you need to install. I have a set on my truck, and you are correct they look great on the truck and are really the only way to go.

Raptor Retrofits are awesome, some forum supporters on here are Bilinvic retrofits, and Yukes retrofits.

If you buy a new set with the conversion harness then yes they are plug and play!

Super easy to do and will be one of the biggest improvements you can make.
