New Headlight Question
I recently purchased smoked headlights for my '07 F150. Upon receiving the headlight assembly, my bulbs do not fit. I have an H13 bulb which I believe to be stock. After contacting the seller, he said that they are designed for 9007 bulbs for low beam and H3 for high beam.
I am hoping that someone can explain to me what they are saying. I run the H13 with both low and high beam single bulb, am I being shafted or am I just confused?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply, the lights are Spec - D. They are sending me the bulbs also but what I do not understand is when they say that low beam are 9007 and High beam are H3. It is a single bulb housing so I do not understand what they are implying.
Any thoughts to that one?

Your stock headlights only have one bulb, with two filiments. One filiment is low beam, the other is high beam. If the new headlights have two seperate bulbs that seperate the high and low beam, then you're going to have to figure out how to wire it, as the factory wiring is set up for a single bulb, and not two seperate bulbs. Ask this company if they provide the wiring harness "split". In other words, they should provide a harness that plugs into the factory headlight, and "splits" off to two seperate bulb connectors.
It sounds to me though that the headlight housings you bought have a single bulb, as it would be obvious if there were two seperate bulb positions in the new housings. Sounds like this company has no idea on what it sells. I'd be sending them back and going elsewhere.
Whatever you do, don't hack any factory wiring to make them work.
