I'm looking to replace the halogen OEM headlight assemblies with LED's. Has anyone used a plug and play set? I'm not interested in simply changing the bulbs and would like to keep the price at or below $600. Application is a 2020 XLT.

 

Well, I was going to suggest going with Morimoto but your budget cap is really low. They are plug and play. Now, I will say this, at least from personal experience, good things are worth money, I haven’t had one single issue with my M’s going 4 yrs now, and just upgraded them to the newest gen, not because of any problems, just like them more. Whereas I have friends who went the same route you are, and some have replaced them 2 or 3 times ($400 - $600 x 3), some are always complaining about issues with water getting into the headlights, condensation, burnt LEDs, etc.

If you’re strapped for cash, you don’t even have to spend $1000+ one time, you can get them with monthly payments. Or save your money and get them when you are ready. There is also Alpharex, but I think they run about the same price.

Good luck!

 

You aren't going to find complete replacement LED headlamps for that price, unless you luck into something used. Morimoto and Alpharex are the usual contenders on the aftermarket side. Or you can go with OEM LED lights and either wire them yourself or use a conversion harness from BoostedGreyGoose.

 

For a little more than your listed budget, you could get the Morimoto Hybrids.

That's what I got. Now if you were looking a month and half ago, you could've gotten them closer to your budget because everyone had them 25% off for black friday sales. Definitely worth the money for the upgrade over the factory halogens. Also like someone else said, you find quality assemblies in that $600 range. I'm sure you can find crappy ebay ones. Alpharex makes assemblies in that range but they are not full led.
