Default Help with headlights and tail lights

So I'm currently in the process of changing up my 2006 f150. I'd like blue halo headlights and smoked LED tail lights but I have no idea which company to buy these from and whats the best price. I've found these tail lights but not sure if I like the reviews.
Spyder Auto ALT-YD-FF15004-LED-SM Smoke LED Tail Light : Amazon.com : Automotive Spyder Auto ALT-YD-FF15004-LED-SM Smoke LED Tail Light : Amazon.com : Automotive
also I've heard about retrofitting my headlights but not sure.

It all depends on your budget. As far as headlights, it's not going to get any better than getting some retrofits, but you are going to pay for them. (There is a set for sale in the 04-08 classifieds right now). As far as the Tail lights i don't know what look your going for but i do not like how the "euro" smoked tails that you can buy look. I just smoked the OEM tails and bought some LED bulbs for them, IMO much better looking

Where did you get the LED bulbs? I smoked mine on my 06 and would like to make them LED.

I just bought some off of Ebay for like $20, plugged them in and have been working great for 2 years now. They are plenty bright even through the darker tail lights

Well the Oracle kit is designed to fit the factory headlight reflector bowls. The amazon headlights have two smaller circles, so I'm not sure how you'd make that work in those.
