better headlight options
#21
Not so much the combined bulb, more the shape of the reflector bucket, my 07 lite the road up great with a set of Sylvania ultras hi and low bean, they had the old 7" round bucket that put light where it needed to be like a focused mag light beam. These things throw light all over on high.
THIS!!!! I used to drive an 05 2wd RCLB F150 for work. no fog lights, just standard halogen headlights. I never had any complaints about them and I used that truck a lot for personal use as well. I also used to use my moms 05 F250 Scab 4x4 PSD and thought the headlights were decent in that as well. When I bought my 2012 RCSB, I just could not believe the difference in headlight output, especially when they used the same bulb as the both the other trucks.
the only theory I could come up with is the reflector was too large to properly throw the light as well as the smaller F150 and F250 styles

Would these be any good?? What's the difference between a CREE LED bulb and an OSRAM LED bulb?

Was also thinking about trying these in the fogs, can't really go wrong with the price right?

Sorry I should have explained. Yes, they throw barely any light. I put one in and left in the halogen to compare and yea, the halogen was much better. I just hated the colour difference with halogen floods and HID lights...thats why I decided to change...all esthetics.

Thanks for the info, I only have halogen headlights so I may have to stay away from them. Anyone know the difference between the cheap eBay LED bulbs and the nore expensive ones sold on f 150leds.com??

If you want true light, I think your looking at the morimotos as a direct replacement.

I have seen better options on Amazon (by better I mean better than the link above, I dont think you're gonna get much better than the F150LED/LifetimeLED options) but I am waiting for a co-worker to be the guinea pig on those. He bought some PUTCO LED fog lamp bulbs locally for waaay too much $$$ so he says he's gonna buy the $60 amazon H13's and give them a shot. I'll wait for him to try before I bite the bullet.
