Question

So how does the OP's conversion kit differs from these? Also says "headlight"

BoozeDaily, which Backflip did you end up getting? I was contemplating between the F1 and the G2 but I like the longer warranty of the F1.
I ordered the G2. Personally I wasn't too concerned with the difference in warranty. I'm pretty sure all the mounting hardware is the same, just a difference in panel material/thickness? I won't be having any dance parties on the bed of my truck so I'm not worried about the panel thickness.

I think they are both great choices, just depends on your preference and needs.

I ordered these, good reviews as a fog or DRL, cheaper, and same watt range as the factory at 30W vs 35W, so no heat issues. Haven't received them yet.

Let me know how these work out for you. Brightness matching (compared to headlights) and install. If it's not a PITA to install it seems like a good option, but I would rather pay the extra $60 for an easy DIY install.

6000k Im guessing will be more white than the LED headlights, but who knows. Those should be super easy to install, just like changing the factory bulb.

I had those led bulbs in my last f150 and they don't give any light output, overheated and burned out in 2 weeks. The color was also kinda blue
