I have an 03 f150 and the stock lights are horrible. I want some HID headlights and fog lights that are pretty bright. I was wondering if someone could recommend a brand and whether 6k or 8k would be better?

Thanks.

You will hear a lot that putting HID bulbs in your stock housing will cause a bunch of glare for on coming traffic. This is very true, but people still do it. I would suggest a projector retrofit in the heads. There is a guy in Ligjtningrodder.com that does them for a pretty good price.

BTW the lower the K rating the brighter they are. Most factory HIDs are 4100-4300. So if go with something close to that if you do go with HID bulbs in your stock housings. Which although I have done in the past I suggest against. Now that I have projectors the light output is much better and no issues with blinding on coming traffic.

When I had my OEM head/fog lights I had DDMTuning HID's 4,300K (came with the truck when I bought it) and never once got flashed from on coming traffic and yes they were plenty bright.

What are some good projectors for a 2003 supercrew? It's a king ranch

what color is it? Color makes a difference if you want black surrounds I think it'd look best on a dark color.

Yeah it's garnet with the gold bottom

Retrofits. Nobody makes decent projectors for these trucks, so retrofitting in lightning or Harley lights are the way to go if you want quality HID projector lighting for a 97-03

What color projectors should I get for the color of my truck?

BrowningSCrew

Depends on if you're wanting a blacked out or chrome look

Sylvania made a 100% 50 state legal hid headlight for these trucks. There called Xenarcs, very hard to find but are great lights. I owned two sets.
