Default 2002 headlights need a change

Want to replace the factory plastic headlights on my black 2002 lariat f150 wondering which ones would look best. Dont really want to go all black so I'm deciding between halo style or chrome led. Any input would be great!

That's a personal preference. Every body's different. I have a white '97 that I redid my headlights in a Lightning style with Cree LEDs
I suggest you look at the more well known outlets for aftermarket H/L assemblies. I went with Spec-D.

I have a 2001 lariat, I put old style expedition ones on. I think they were made by spider, I may be wrong. Checkem out.

Those look like Lighting/Harley style to me (?).

OP: The one-piece LED halo projector "best on the planet" stuff seems to be problematic for many people. I'd suggest the L/HD lights like those above. I have them as well and am happy with the pattern and output.



Please don't put LED bulbs or an HID conversion in them, though. The reflector is designed for halogen bulbs only. Anything else will cause glare and poor pattern.

Yeah, I think your right ohio.

And the pattern and output are really good. Two thumbs up here.

Another +1 for the Lightning style headlights. I bought a set of corners and headlamps from American Muscle (American Trucks) for $100. They are Depo brand and I have zero complaints after about a year.
