Default Headlight question

First off, I am a new member. This site looks very interesting and I like how helpful everyone seems to be!

I just bought a brand new 2014 Ford F150 XLT Supercrew Cab Texas Edition.
Tuxedo Black.

I was wondering if these headlights would work or do I need to buy other parts.

2009-2014 Ford F-150 Dual Angel Eye Halo & LED Projector Headlights - Black


I see there is a warning at the bottom, but I am not sure exactly what it means. I have had a 98'' Ford F150 and never did anything to it as I got it already nice looking.

Looking forward to everyone's input!

THey would work, but you wouldn't be happy with them. The ebay and other cheap "projector" headlights are simply a non-engineered and quickly put together setup that won't put the light out any more than your stock halogens will. A lot of times you end up with WORSE light.

If you want good light use OEM HID housings.. You can get a pair on theretrofitsource.com for 750, plus you'd need all the parts/internals but you'd be much better off.

Oh and WELCOME!

For right now, until I can get enough money for housing, would my angel eyes and LED strip still look good? Or does the housing have to be inserted before either will work?
