At least it sounds like they made their crap plug and play so their won't be quite as many complaints about their crap. Lol

With some dissecting and mods they could probably be decent.

@ swak6287
You are totally right, these headlights are equipped with white LED DRL bars.

In regard to your question about the pictures, these headlights were just released and the manufacturer still did not provide us with those pictures. However, we will let you know, right after we will get more pictures.

@ SteveEH
If your F-150 was equipped with the halogen headlights, then you will receive the new headlight with all new projector lenses and halogen bulbs, which will provide you the same brightness as the factory ones. The beam is more focused and will give you better projection.
However, if your F-150 was equipped with HID headlights, then you will receive a whole new lenses and bulbs for high beams only. You will need to reuse your factory low beam bulbs and install them into your new headlights.
Plus, these lights are approved by the SAE and meets DOT regulations and compliant with FMVSS 108.

@ Batman420
These lights are sealed to withstand the moisture. So no problems with the condensation at all.

raptor retrofit has the identical lights and can be personalized as needed. the light output is leaps and bounds above the stock hids. these look good, not feeling the thick c-clamp

This is confusing. If oem halogen or oem hid there's only one bulb per side regardless which handles both hi and lo. And these picture only show one projector so I think it's a safe assumption these spyder assemblies only hold one bulb...

@ norddu60

That's right, we've just double checked on that. Since all F-150 use dual beam lights, you can reuse original HID high and low bulbs D3S.

For F-150 with halogen lights you will receive a new headlights with new dual beam bulbs. So you don't need to reuse your stock ones.

Are the HID projectors different from the halogen projectors in order to project the HID beam correctly?

Also will the HID ones install on a truck that doesn't have HIDs from the factory?

The headlights look the same from the outside for both F150s with Halogen and HID lights, however the inner components are different. The lens of the projectors are slightly different, as the HID has a little bit more intensive light output.

These HID headlights are designed only for the models that are equipped with factory HID (D3S bulbs, harnesses, ballasts and other wiring). Since models with halogen headlights don't have necessary HID hardware - these headlights will not work (unless you swap the entire light system to factory HID...in case it's even possible).

If your truck came with stock halogen bulbs, but you are willing to get HID you can go another route.
- Order the headlights that are designed for a model with stock halogen lights and get an aftermarket HID conversion kit with appropriate bulb size, to fit it in the new headlight housing. This way you will have a nice looking headlight with bright HID lights.

To make the HID version work on a halogen truck I suspect all you'd need is oem bulbs, ballasts, wiring and the conversion harness that BilinvicRetrofits makes.
