Thanks!

I work in the Software business so can't say I have the same problems... But I certainly don't trust some tech - like social media accounts, twitter, Instagram, that kind of crap. Thank god there were no phones taking pictures back when I was in school! :-) Couple more question for you on the lights. Did the low beam and high beam lights each come in a set of two? And did you have to adjust them at all? You say nobody has been flashing you after the install?

Thanks!

They came in a set of two, made no adjustment-- i never said anything about getting flashed, that was someone else. But I do on occasion get flashed, just not very often.

Thanks!
F150leds seems to be very hit or miss. Some people have no issues and others have all kinds of issues. I would not give them a penny personally. I think TRS, Headlight Revolution, or Lightwerkz are no brainers.

I like the stock 2018 XLT headlights.

There are no “brighter lights” that will not blind oncoming drivers. Light doesn’t have to point in their eyes, it is the wall of oncoming light which is the problem.

Perhaps you have a vision problem and should not drive at night?

Good point. I have a friend who had problems driving at night and complained about his headlights being dim. Turned out he had cataracts. He got his eyes fixed and he can see to drive at night again.

Hahah....a comedian...Funny....

Nope. I have no problems seeing at night. Get my eyes checked every year. Don't even need glasses yet. I have 2 other vehicles with great stock lights that are nice and bright. And I have no problem seeing the road ahead of me with those lights at night.

The stock F150 lights just suck - plain and simple. Multiple folks complain about it on this and other forums, so I don't think I'm alone in that opinion. Guess I'll be that "blinding wall of light" coming at you in the night because I just ordered my replacement led bulbs this morning.

Thanks to all the other folks with actual helpful suggestions on this thread. Really appreciated the pointers and suggestions to avoid F150leds. They had a bunch of mixed reviews regarding product and service. Got mine from the other site mentioned here.

Thanks!
