You will have light stray every where because silver stars are not designed for F150 reflector systems. Also if a LED headlamp lighting system does not have a cooling system cooling fans or cooling fins I would not buy. LEDs get very hot at the source "led chip" if the chip seed its maximum heat it Will De rate or dim your eye can not tell the difference but it half life's the chip. Example if the chip its rated for 40'000 hour s now it is 20000 hours the second time 10000 and so on one year average use is 400 hrs so you may make it a year or two with cheep LED systems. Fyi a good output would be 2000 lm and 35000 candella down the road light

Wrong quote? I have HIDs in projector retrofits with LED projectors for the fogs.
