I had the $200 full Morimoto units. They didn't do anything IMHO. Took them out and sold them. If you want to upgrade the fogs and save $, I'd recommend replacing the stock bulbs with LEDs.ModelLumensWattsPriceLP911025 + 1140105 + 108”d x 3.25” deep600XL80950080w 5.8A4.43 x 4.43 x 3.65400XL Racer430040w 3.33A“400XLpro490040w 3.33A“350XL sport226020w 1.4A"200Squadron Racer430040w 3.33A“270Squadron Pro490040w 3.33AFlush mount square239Squadron Sport226020w 1.4AFlush mount square

The weird thing is I bought them because I put the toyota versions of the Morimoto XBLeds into the ARB Bullbar on my Liberty and they are awesome. They work like a low beam. I thought doing the ones in the F150 would yield similar results and they really didnt.

These are the two trucks I'm looking at basically the same trucks in my opinion just different motors.

Just to be fair; regarding the Morimotos:
Morimoto VS Stock Fog
Lens > plastic - plastic
Housing> AL - plastic
Bulb> LED - Halogen
specs> IP7 - zip
My point is, as far as build quality, the Morimotos are definitely superior to the stocks, but light output remains feeble.
Of course the Morimotos maintain the stock look and are plug and play, which for many is also more important than lumen output.

I didnt find that the morimotos did much on my 2014 either. They have a broader beam but its barely noticable with the headlights on.
The weird thing is I bought them because I put the toyota versions of the Morimoto XBLeds into the ARB Bullbar on my Liberty and they are awesome. They work like a low beam. I thought doing the ones in the F150 would yield similar results and they really didnt.

Does anyone else think this is really high $? There're guys buying BRAND NEW XLTs in that range.
Year: 2015Make: Ford

Model: F-150Trim: XLT SuperCrew 5.5-ft. Bed 4WD

The other is a Eco something ... Which? 2.7 or 3.5? It's at a Chevy dealer, EHHH! NO WAY I'd even LOOK at that truck. Smells of buyers remorse.
First, I'd START at a Ford Dealer. START with new trucks and leftovers, but consider used. Browse this forum for what guys pay and LEARN. Point of fact, guys are paying $35K for slightly used Lariats, not XLTs.
Someone please chime in and tell him if I'm totally wrong.
Second, I wouldn't even look at an eco unless I knew 100% how it was treated and maintained. Again, I'd look "Ford Certified" or whatever they call it.

I appreciate all the input and well written posts by the way by everyone. I agree it's just hard to find the package I want, I'm going to look at a few dealerships today and see what they can do. I like a lot of the trucks I see but the center gauge cluster screens are terrible and I refuse to get one that looks like an old digital clock.
