I've been looking on ebay. Looking more and more that OEM HID is going to be way out of my price range.

Think about retrofitting your existing lights. Keep an eye out for The Retrofit Source's black friday sale. Last year I got a Mini H1 kit for $215 and did mine and I love them. It took several hours

This is the build I followed to do mine (https://www.f150forum.com/f38/headli...-7-0-a-332210/).

Instead of doing my headlights, I bought another set, retrofitted them and sold mine on craigslist just to get a cleaner lens. It also allowed me to take my time and still drive my truck.

Did you look at what Adam has at 4x4truckleds.com. He has LED setups that are adjustable and work just fine. There are many users with his products, and no issues.

No issues for them. Not so sure about other people on the road.

i have this issue myself, want to snag up so oem hids, but way outside my budget. i think i am going to go a different route though. my truck didnt come with fog lights, my last one had them and they make a huge difference. so what i am thinking is adding a light bar, and mounting 2 fogs and 2 driving lights to it. i know it will make a good change. And if that still isnt enough ill just have to get those oem hids.

Leds like these that use a shield on the low beam diodes, have a cutoff and don’t blind other drivers like most of the leds out there.



Sure, it’s no HID, but with the cutoff shield, they don’t throw anymore glare than a halogen.
