x8,000,000,000. I think it's more the principle than anything. Most of them make the excuse that they can't afford retrofits..but I don't see stock ford lights killing people left and right so I think the stock lights will suffice until you can pony up $350 for proper lights.

Judging by those first couple of photos, that is a non existent cutoff, typical of a PnP. This right here is a cutoff:


It's a learning curve, but we'll get there.

If ANYTHING, PIAA extreme or silverstars will suffice until you can get retros

some people probably cant hack up their lights for the $350 diy kit, so they get the $800 ones made, honestly, yellow bulbs suck its hard to see anything with them, i hated my factory bulbs the silverstars suck huevos too, ill admit i wish i could get the retros but im driving so i need to see lol. any bright light will blind doesnt matter what color it is

This looks less blinding than the factory halogens and I'm standing at car height level to my projectors. That's what the cutoff line is for

They need some adjusting to the trashcan. If you get flashed it's probably from me. Can't stand those headlights.

Sorry but those lights are just inconsiderate.

if you adjust them correctly, they're not that bad. I never get flashed and I'm lifted.

Lessee.. if you know they need adjusting, DO IT. That '80 year old' as you somehow know their age AT NIGHT, just might get blinded and veer to the left. Taking out your precious PnP kit.. your truck.. and maybe YOU. That's totally worth it.
