Default Aftermarket Headlights help?

Just got my F150 XLT Sport Apperance package V8. Black exterior as well on the interior. Only thing I really want to change right now is the headlights. I really like the LEDs that are stock on the Platinum & King Ranch.

Anybody have any idea where I can buy good quality aftermarket or do you know if the Ford dealerships is selling/installing them? Any ideas?

I have been looking into Ford LED headlights for my Lariat. The LED headlight modules from Ford list for $675 each (complete drop in headlight assy's) plus the Ford underhood wiring harness lists for $750 more to hook them up. Ford has no plans for a kit at this time.

Raptor Retrofits is releasing a kit early March. Guestimate on price is $1500 for a kit with headlight assy's and necessary wiring jumper plugs.

Anyone know how to get the smoked headlight look like the previous years have had? I'll have the LEDs but would love that smoked tint look.

To get further than your opinion above "they're worth it though" -has anyone seen an actual performance comparison of the 2015 HL's???
And, I don't mean a "night picture of the brightness", I mean an actual measurement of projection-whatever tells that story of how they're usefully better.
Asked as a technical sort of question!
