Default Replacing Headlights

decided to go with Raptor Headlights on my 2014 f-150 Platinum. Everything went good until last wire connection.
It appeared that Raptor had H13 (3 pins) connection and my wire is pa/sps-gf20(4 pins)
I assume the old headlights were HID.
what should I do in order to get new headlights connected?
Is there any kind of converters or something like this?
thank you

If the Raptor headlights have a H13 plug then thats just your regular halogen headlights. What you have on your 14 Platinum is HIDs.

In my honest opinion your crazy for wanting to downgrade the output of line just to have a black headlight. Your better off finding something that has black and wants chrome and swap them or better yet, open the headlights up and paint them black. While your at it you can upgrade the projectors!

Mine are broken otherwise I would love to keep them. So if there is a way to make Raptor once working as HID that would be great.

FX trucks from 13 and 14 came with a HID option. Sell the raptor ones and find some factory HID’s,

I am with the other posts. DO NOT go back to halogen.....What is broke on your old lights? Almost everything is easy replaceable on them besides the molded housing.

A - going from HID to halogen is just stupid.
B - someone on here figured it out, you can search for it and Im sure youll find it, but you have to do some wiring.
Whats broken on yours?

Get one off ebay and swap your ballast/bulb to it.
