Yeah I do I got 10k bi xenon hids with high and low and love them. Everything else is led (turn signals, license plate, interior lighting, etc.) still waiting on the map light LEDs it's been 2 weeks and waiting on my rims still from tire rack. 18 x 8.5 kmc spy's. After that I'm building that box and getting a programmer and 35's then gears and a 6 inch suspension lift. I can't stop putting money into it lol.

How you manage to get LED's in the OEM head lamp?? Did you put it in the microwave to crack it open?

Well the LEDs I ordered said ford f150 so I knew they would fit in and no no no lol. Go to the how to section for our trucks, click on exterior and find painting headlights. You actually oven cook it at 250 degrees for 10 minutes and pry them apart and it's a huge PIA.

Nothing easy to it trust me. Grab a movie, a 12 pack of what you drink and put on a movie bc you get to have some man time. The results are worth it, it's just a PIA. The most crucial thing is re sealing them well so make sure you get all the original black sealant off. Another thing, clean them well before you put them in and take off the rubber piece on the back.

Im not sure. For me I know it wouldnt satisfy me because I like the low lows but to each his own. I think two good quality 8's probably wouldn't be bad.

2 8's would sound better then you think.
check out the JBL GTO 8inch sub. they only take 0.3 cubic feet of air space.Heres a link

Amazon Amazon

And also look into Image dynamics,Great subs that run on little air space.
