I bought these and installed them. I could not be happier with them. They are the best I've had so far. Pics and info on my build link below.

IMHO, LEDs in the stock reflector halogen housings don't glare as bad as HIDs in the stock reflector. That being said, I would strongly encourage you to buy a set of Anzos if you want to use LED bulbs. I personally think the Anzos look better than the stock LEDs, and they are much more affordable.
I have the Anzos with HIDs in my truck. I have a set of XHP50 LEDs that I installed only briefly. The output of the LEDs was great close to the truck, but the HIDs throw light farther in the Anzo projectors. Since I live in Alaska, there are many long stretches of dark road in the winter and I want to see when Mr. Moose chilling in the road. I'm trying to decide if I want to put these LEDs in the high beams or just sell them now...
Just my $.02

My brother in law has them on a 2008 F-150 and they work great. His LEDs both face the reflector. Only 1 of mine shine at the reflector the other one shoots off into space.

I had Anzo's with Morimoto 2 stroke led bulbs. I now have OEM led headlights. The output on the Morimoto's was far better than factory leds. The morimoto's are nice because you do not need to cut the dust cover to make them fit. You will need canbus adapters (15 bucks on amazon). I highly recommend morimoto's. My dad and best friend both have high dollar aftermarket leds and the morimotos are much better.

I've never ran aftermarket LED bulbs but I've had a set of OEM LED headlights w/ an RR harness in my truck for a year now. The output of the OEM LED's is incredible compared to the stock halogens. Since I plan on owning this truck for many years the OEM LED's were a wise investment to me. Nothing against aftermarket LED bulbs I just prefer to use OEM if the option is there.
