You can get oem hids on raptor retrofits. All you would need aside from the lights is an adapter harness. There are you tube instructions on the install and it shouldn't take you more than 2 hours to remove your old lights and install the new ones. The light from halogen is night and day difference. Look on eBay or on here for the lights that come up for sale. Otherwise you are probably looking art brand new ones for 1350 with harness

Theres a plastic pin that looks like a phillips screw holding a rubber flap from the radiator support pull the center part out to disengage the rest of it and move the rubber shroud aside, 3 screws hold the lamp assembly in two at the top one down below, remove them and firmly pull straight out away from the truck, unplug the two harness connectors.
Run the adapter harness per the instructions, make sure your grounds are very clean and tight, people have had issues because they didn't ground the harness properly, plug the new harness to oem harness and then pop the headlamp assembly back in. Done.
Being new they should not require any adjustments. Difference really is night and day, love mine.

Try to find a take off set with the bulbs and balasts already. Chances are, if you do, they will also have the harness. If not, this is the harness needed:

After doing this conversion a few times, the last time took me about 30 mins in a parking lot with wrench and screw driver sets.
Ground to the bolt on the passengers side of the rad. You'll see other wires grounded there already. This will save a lot of headaches....
Good luck and you won't regret it if you do it.

This guy has a sweet deal on a complete set with adapter harness, considering they cost around $1,300 it's a bargain at $950 OBO. https://www.f150forum.com/f59/oem-hi...3/#post4302353

Whatever happen to the ebay seller godschild? I got my oem hids, like many op did brand new for $800.00 from him. I got my morimoto wiring harness for $110.00 from Tux on here.
So all said and done for $910.00, for the whole damn thing, Brand New!

He probably sold out. I got the 2nd to last set from Allstarautolights on ebay, Tux supplied all his harnesses, not just the Fords either.
EDIT: Looks like he has a bunch more now, price hasn't come down for new ones though.
