'02 F-150 Headlight upgrade?
We have an 2002, F-150 Supercrew Lariat FX4. I'm looking at upgrading the headlights to the blue light hallogen or HID. Being new to this, I have a couple simple, basic questions.
Is there a difference between the hallogen lights and the HID lights or is this simply different terminology for the same thing? What am I looking at as for upgrading? From some of the other threads I understand that its not just a matter of changing out the bulbs, but the housings and installing a ballast as well.
Thanks for all the info.

Thanks. I'm looking for the install thread you mentioned. I guess all that is left is to shop around and find a pair that will work. Does the kit come with just the "bulbs" and wiring or does it also include new housings? I have the stock, hazy/fogged over lens and it would seem this would not be the best for the HID's.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
I ended up putting in a pair of knock off Harley lenses. Not that my headights where fogy, they were to reflective and the Harley style ones don't have all that chrome in them. The look great now.
