Lightbulb LED headlight bulbs

So I just purchased a 2014 F150 STX Sport. Truck looks badass. But naturally, I wanted to add new LED headlights, and completely mess up my electrical. haha. My question is, does anyone have any experience with Ebay LED bulbs? I ordered a combo set with fog lights for $25. But i'm just wondering if i'm wasting money on them. They do have free returns, etc... My other option was the Ironwalls LED, but for whatever reason, opted for the other ones. I used to have a newer 2017 F-150 that was totaled, and i added headlights from F150LEDS. that were great, but were just freaking expensive, and i didn't want to pay that much again. $200. just for headlights.

Any opinions on the bulbs? what did other people buy?

I'm also thinking about getting a set of 33x12.5x20 tires as well for the winter. Anyone have a set they don't need anymore?

$25.00 for four bulbs?? You get what you pay for. Tried a set of H11 eBay LEDs. Installed one to see what it looked like. Put OEM back & gave away LEDs.

If these eBay ones don't work, i saw a set on Amazon for about $55 for both headlights and fog lights. i'm going to try those next. If not, I'll probably just suck it up and get the F150LED.com ones again.

There’s a thread on here, possiblynin the aftermarket review section, that says to stay away from f150led. I am not an LED headlight guy, but I figured it might be a good idea to point it out for you. I’ll see if I can find it and link it.

Any bulb besides halogen in a halogen housing is illegal, not to mention blinds the eff out of everyone else on the road. DON'T DO IT!!!

I honestly only has 1 issue with f150led.com when I installed them in my 2015 F150 and my 2017 F150, the automatic headlights would always keep the lights on, no matter what. I had to switch the auto lights to off, to keep the headlights off. That's about it. But there were plenty bright and worked great besides that.

yea, I live in a very rural area, I'm not concerned about cops pulling me over for my headlights. Most aren't even aware of they're LED, HID, stock or aftermarket. Call me an *** if you want, but the reaction of other drivers to my headlight is kind of at the bottom of my concerns. I'm not going to not do something because i fear of how others will react to it.

So you admit enjoying the ability to risk others lives?

Risking lives? That's pretty dramatic...

I for one am getting really fed up with all these aftermarket cheap *** led bulbs that everyone is jamming into their halogen housings.
(no offence to the OP here)

I do a lot of highway night driving to and from my cottage(150 miles worth) and I'm about to go buy the biggest LED light bar and install my PIAA x4 front light bars and start blinding the **** off these *****!

OP - anyone will sell you anything! If you want better lighting consider upgrading the bulbs in your truck with halogen and look to someone like PIAA!
They cost more...for a good reason.
