Default 2016 Headlight Upgrade

Hey guys,

Looking at purchasing some new headlights for my 2016 XLT. I currently have the stock halogen headlights. Looking at upgrading for visibility as well as aesthetics. Anzo Switchbacks and the Alpharex pros stand out to me.. the main thing I want is to add LED's for low/high beams but not blind everyone. Anyone have experience with either and can provide some feedback? Also what are some good LED bulbs y'all are using that don't break the bank?

My 2016 came with OEM LEDs. I went with Morimoto XB LED headlights and I like them a lot. If properly adjusted, they don't blind anyone. I wouldn't put LED bulbs in non-LED housings or that's exactly what's going to happen.

I had anzo switchbacks in my 15 but just swapped then it to the Morimoto Hybrids. I like these a lot better. The DRL on the Anzo looked good at night but wasn't as bright as I would like in the daytime.

The morimotos look nice but not going to spend $1.7k on headlights...

Umnitza. Get a PM from them. The Morimoto hybrids are awesome and not as expensive as you think. Probably under $700

The hybrids are way cheaper. I don't know if they are on sale still but I paid well under $700. As Bill said, message Umnitza.

Hot some sealights off Amazon. They made a huge difference. Only cost me $150 for all 6 bulbs up front (I did the fogs too)
