Default Head lights

hi everyone literally brought my 2016 f-150 XLT crew cab sport home tonight. I need headlights. What do you suggest? Preferable not the 1000 dollar kits. Is there just a good brighter “white” bulb? Thank you in advance!

I went with Philips extreme power bulbs, 60 bucks total for the high and low beams off Amazon. They are as bright or brighter then any other halogen replacement and also a better value. They transformed my factory Mustang headlights into something that actually resembled a headlight, and while I had no complaints about the stock F150 lights they are brighter then stock and also "white" in color.

Diode Dynamics SL1's, Hi/Lo both. Maybe check the alignment as well, a lot of guys find the heads are aimed high from the factory.

I have the Hikari Ultras that use Philips Lumiled chips. They are terrific and the chip set is meant to mimic the filament placement of the stock halogen bulb, so the light pattern is great:

For reference, I have Sealight fog lamps and they are only $25 on Amazon - also great:
Amazon Amazon

The fog lamps are the two bulbs on the left, head lamps on the right.

How long have you had them installed? Hows the durability?
