Default Spyder Headlights

Anyone have these headlights?

SpyderŽ - Black LED DRL Bar Halo Projector Headlights

Check them out here

I need to replace my 2008 FX-4 headlights and have been looking at these. Thoughts?

They are a little too busy for my taste.

seal them real good with some clear silicone prior to install... or they may leak and fog up.

I've got some Amazon special 'Harley style"
I sealed them with silicone and sprayed the lens with a UV resistant headlight coating.
Been almost a year.
Those Spyders are.... crowded looking

Thanks for the feedback. Originally Ibwas just wanting stick Ford replacements but not for 293.00 each. I have read good things about Spyder and figured I would upgrade with projection and halos since the prices were good.

Any examples or suggestions of " less busy" headlights would be great! I guess no matter what I go with dealing is a gimme on all aftermarket headlights.

Harley or Limited style are my faves. Subtle, tasteful. IMO, the halo look came and went.

Yep, Amazon specials here too. Just with the clear corners, and they came with the tinted fogs too. I just sprayed them with 5 coats of non yellowing, uv resistant clearcoat. Then wet sanded and buffed. I didn't use silicone, but I spray the clear over the seal. 1 1/2 years no issue. I just prefer the clean, simple look.

Thing is it's your truck and your money. Do what makes you happy. I just tend not to buy things that will be out of style next year.
