Default Solved: Help with LED replacement

Update: figured it out. There were not stock and we found the oem connector. Thanks all


Hello. New here. Trying to find the replacement LEDS for my friends truck. It's a 2016 f150 XLT. Everything we looked at had 2 pin connectors and his is a round 4 pin. Any help or links to ones you know of would be great.
I included pics of his old one

He must have aftermarket headlights. Without knowing what they are it’s impossible to help.

Those are not oem connectors.

Edit: what do the plugs on the truck side look like? Those pictured look like the wires that go from aftermarket drop in leds to the driver. Some cheapskate cut a hole and ran the wire through the dust boot instead of getting larger boots.

I will get back to you on that. I'll have him send pics after work.

It appears those LED bulbs have an external resistor or driver box that stays outside of the headlight. I'd replace both bulbs instead of trying to find a replacement for that one.

Here is a good replacement bulb with great cutoff.
