Default Halogen headlights suck

Can't speak for the LED headlights as I drive an XL for work but these have to to be the worst factory halogens ever. I really hadn't noticed until I was next to a Silverado at a red light last night and his lane was lit up nicely, meanwhile I had to check to make sure mine were on. And yes, they're aimed correctly. In fact, I had to aim them down a bit as the lows were aimed straight out in front from the factory, my highs were pointed to the sky.

Have you ever driven a 04-08 F150 with halogens?????? Pretty worthless. Look up 4x4truckLEDs.com, I have the LED headlights and they are a huge improvement over halogen. And no, I dont get flashed by other drivers. I have them in my 07 F150, 07 Expedition and a 02 Grand Prix GT, never been flashed in any of them.

I just installed the 4X4LED lows and they are perfect, exactly how these cars should come from the factory

I've driven one for almost 240K. No complaints on headlights whatsoever. Still original bulbs and plenty bright for me

Same here. Much improved. Also upgraded the fogs to LED.

I'd love to throw some leds on but this is a company truck. Maybe I'll just aim them lower to see what happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So if you arent willing to put in different headlight bulbs, why did you make this thread? You already adjusted them. Confusing.
