2013 XLT Halogen headlights
OK I find everywhere how people love the cutoff line with their headlights. HIDs are awesome. I don't even have HIDs. I have stock headlights. I hate it. I really do. I live in the country with a lot of deer and hills and I feel like I am driving blindfolded. I hunt and go to work in the dark so this is very important to me. Is there a headlight available without this cutoff line? Or a mod I can do to raise up my sight line sufficiently? I have tried adjusting my lights up with the gear adjuster but it has little to no effect.
I LOVE my truck but it really is driving me insane.
Thanks
Todd

HIDs require the "cutoff" line so that light isn't being thrown in people's eyes. If you don't like the look of HIDs, I would suggest upgrading the halogen bulb. Silverstar Ultras or I think PIAA makes some decent ones.
For what it's worth, the stock '13 OEM HIDs don't really have a all that well of a defined cutoff line if that's what you are worried about. There is no beating a good projector HID setup for lighting, though.

Get an LED light bar or cubes to replace fog lights, throws tons of light.

I have upgraded the bulbs to . It is better than what it was but still cannot get over only being able to see about 50 to 75 in front of me on low beams.

Get some oem hid's or as already suggested, a light bar.
I bit the bullet for oem hid's and can tell you they are worth every single penny and then some.

(they helped with traffic around), wanted more light off road and on back roads and added a 30" bar behind the grille, the light bars are in spot pattern and still light the tree tops up. This combo is working for me.

Sounds like someone is butthurt who bought a crappy ebay kit or is in denial and thinks halogen lighting is good.
