Has anybody used these lights? I don't want all the bells and whistles and the price seems reasonable. Also does anyone know if these are new lights or used ones?

It says on the website they are take-offs.

Stage 3 gets them from The Lighting Firm which is a national reclaimed headlight source. TLF tried to do a retrofit for me. Tried. I would trust them for stock housings. Nothing more. Like [MENTION=64411]NASSTY[/MENTION] said...they are take offs. B-grade at best but still better output than halogens.

I installed the same ones, except chrome last night. Install was fairly easy, and the lights were in mint condition. The guy I ordered from at Stage 3 said they weren't takeoffs, but new and unused from Ford's supplier. True or not, mine were in perfect condition, believe me I inspected em hard before install ha. I'm damn picky. I did opt for the upgraded ballast, but with the truck sittin on a 2.5" level, its hard to tell if they are any brighter than the factory ones I had on my 14 XLT.

Add states they are OEM, nothing about takeoffs. They look great. I would think if they were takeoffs add would say they were. JMO

I dunno maybe they aren't takeoffs??? It said they were in the question and answer section.




Are these DOT approved? Will they pass the Virginia state inspection? Thanks!
Asked by: Brian - 8/10/2014


These are OEM take-offs and are DOT-approved. I'm not sure what Virginia inspection entails, but if stick with the OEM HID ballasts, you'll most likely be fine.
