Default headlight upgrade for my 2016 f150 without led lights

I have a 2016 ford f150 XLT trim without the led light system, i am wanting a brighter light output without going with a light bar setup.

Would the factory light upgrade be a big difference? This is my first ford so i am not sure what's available yet would really like to keep it stock looking. I got her about 4months ago

Welcome to the Forum. I'm a vendor here that offers LED Conversion Kits for all makes/models but started my company when I was in the same boat as you. I bought the F-150 without LED lights and wanted a quality light system.

If you check out our website we have an area dedicated to Ford trucks, under there you'll pick your year and you'll see the available lighting upgrades.

You can also ask others around this forum about us. We have a pretty good reputation for not only the products we offer but our customer service is very high. Here is a photo of my truck with our LED headlights installed to give you an idea on how you can go from the ugly halogens to something that really lights up the road:

Just do a led bulb conversion like 4x4truckleds.com said. The stock housing are not to bad for the kit the design doesn't give off bad glare. Just get the low beam kit and fog though you won't use high beams anymore.

Makes sense considering the low and high beams are 6k lumens.

You wont be able to stand the halogen low beams if you do just high beams

Sorry about that, but i ment to edit my post but got caught up in work. but this truck sees about 90%city and 10% highway. And 6k lumens seems like it will blind people

Would the leds be compatible with anazos projector housings? Reason i ask i may blackout some of the chrome pieces

It's really glare that is annoying not the brightness. I have passed many cops head on and other drivers never have had somebody flash there lights at me or get stopped. My f250 I got flashed by other drivers all the time cause the housing wasn't right for them

They don't blind people because your headlights are aimed properly, so you are really just lighting up more in front of you and NOT above you. That's how headlights normally are. So you are just throwing MORE light below that cut-off.

The LED kits work very well in the Anzos. Lately we've been selling more H7 for the 2015+ Anzos then any other bulb so far. The anzos are very popular because of the projection system and how they look (and now adays the switchback outline is nice).

I always recommend getting high beam also. I rarely use my high beam but when I need to, it's just awesome. Plus if you need to flash someone they may not notice your ole high beam halogens (the high beams will be aimed higher is all but it'll look weird)
