Default 2015+ Retrofit headlights

I'm in the market to get some work done for my headlights. I'm such a picky person when it comes to the small details like dust or lint particles in the housing. I just don't want pot quality work done on my $$$ truck. If you've got a retrofit done by someone and can stand by their work, post some pictures and who you went with.

Why retrofit versus the other bulbs you can get for your halgen housing?

As Bravo said we sell a fantastic LED kit for the F-150's but if you have your heart set on retrofitting we understand

Because retrofitting is the proper way to do it vs just slamming LED bulbs or hid bulbs in a halogen housing.

Because it's easy to sell people cheap bulbs that will put out brighter scattered light vs doing it the right way.

This has been a heated issue for years. You will get more light but it's not as focused or distributed as good as a proper projector set up.

There are many uniformed people who take things at face value without doing the research. Those people are many and companies like 4x4 love people like that so they can make a quick buck.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
