But what if I use my old stock headlamps and get a different lamp housing, I'd paint the inside flat black and use an aftermarket lamp, kinda like this one below...
or are these not for sale and I'm stuck buying this whole kit?
I want to go with LED or stay with HID, and I'm in the dark about what my real options are for turning my stock headlights into the picture above. I'm going to use the XKGlow in the new headlight so I don't need Halos.
The easiest and cheapest would be to put a mini h1 projector into your current housings. Many people have done this. Summers has an excellent how to on it.

Look at the vehicles these work in, and funny they don't have an 05 F150. I'm finally getting around to looking at these and still want the retrofit look, but using the LED's
I ended up buying a set of either Spider or Spec-D subtle projector headlights. (Cant remember which it was)
Cracked them open and had a better aftermarket projector out in among some other things. Turned out very nice.
I run 6500k HID's in the projectors without issue. Light output is awesome and I'm not blinding another drivers
That looks very nice, I won't need to get the ones with halos as I'm running XKGlow lights inside, but what I have now, with the bulge and finish peeling off doesn't look good anymore, I want something different but not ordinary.
If you decide retrofit I suggest these bulbs over anything on the market. Huge improvement over the Moritomo's and others I tried: Osram 66240NB Xenarc D2S Nightbreaker Bulb
