Not sure about discounts but I buy most of my aftermarket stuff from Stage 3 Motorsports. Excellent customer service and fast shipping.

I would get them from Amazon. The price seems to fluctuate there but not by much. I've never seen them have a huge sale. At least with Amazon you have hassle free returns if needed.

I had the Anzo switchbacks with LED bulbs in my XLT, I replaced them with the Morimoto hybrid and I like them much better.The light output is definitely better than the Anzo's and way better than the factory halogens. I purchased mine from Umnitza, they are on the forum and you can message them for the best price.

I went with AlphaRex Pros, and put some LED bulbs in. Under $1000 for all of it, and a big improvement. Still not quite as good as the HIDs that were factory in my '14 XLT (don't get me started) but definitely better than the halogens.

I believe factory LED's are only available on 502A and higher trims.

if I wanted to do bulb update at least for now until I can pull those off but keep it DOT legal, any suggestions? Obviously can’t put LEDs in these and keep it legal
I did the cheap bulb replacement option (replacing the H11 bulbs with H9) and quite frankly, I don't think the difference was that significant or noticeable. It certainly wasn't worth the amount of work required to modify and install the bulbs. I'd just wait until you can buy new headlight assemblies.

I agree. I did this mod first, then swapped to the cheap Sealight LED drop in bulbs. Night and day difference in light output. I have no desire to spend $1000+ for aftermarket headlights. I have my lights aimed properly and never get flashed unless I also have the fogs on.
