I got my harness from @Ryan B . Ford doesn't have an OEM harness for this. If you have a '18-'20 truck, you could probably use VLand or Morimoto aftermarket LED units that are virtually plug-and-play for halogen trucks, but I think the OEM LED units are more reliable than these aftermarket solutions.

Same here. I assume the color of the light looks brighter than normal halogens to a lot of people. Maybe there is more glare. I've heard of other LED vehicles getting flashed.

That's awesome, thank man. I was actually looking at a set of VLand lights too. Totally understand about the OEM vs. Aftermarket aspect too. Would prefer OEM but $$$$.

Installed the Morimoto Sealight headlight and fog light LEDs in the stock lights on Sunday. Nice bright white compared to yellow. $237 Cdn. Haven't driven after dark yet to see if I get flashed.

I put Sealite LED bulbs in my stock housings. The install was quick and easy. They look good, work well and make night time visability 10x better than stock halogen garbage.
And no, I dont get flashed a lot. Maybe once every two weeks which tells me I might want to make a slight adjustment to my headlight alignment.

Amazon Amazon

I purchase the high beams and fog lights of the same brand. Overall upgrade was about $100. Well worth it.

After reading many post and receiving positive replies from other forum members (Thank you so much for the replies) also went with Sealights. Only have had them in for 5 days but used them every night / morning and they are performing great. So much better than stock halogens .

One thing I did before I changed them out was , made all measurements and tapped off where factory lights were aiming from close up and around 25ft away . Once I installed I compared light out put and adjusted as needed. Made sure new led’s sat at 3-9 o’clock position. Hardly any “scatter”. Then took out on road following the wife and did about an hour of testing to ensure no blinding would occur. Everything turned out good.
