I've heard that particular style of black headlight has terrible output for our trucks. Because our trucks use a reflective housing and that particular style of headlight has a very small reflective housing in it. Can't say anything about the chrome ones though. I'd recommend using the black lightning style headlights if you want black, really for chrome too, only because they have the best reflective housing to put your light out on the road.

Thats kind of what I was thinking.

Well, thanks for all the great advice, everyone!

I ended up getting a pair of standard Silverstars, and some 3m headlight polish. I installed one of the new headlights with one of the old ones in the other side so I could do a direct comparison before polishing. I could see a slight difference, but knowing that they have the same output just a different color temperature, that didn't really surprise me. I drove home and polished the lenses, which were badly yellowed. That made a huge difference. I actually have a beam now, rather than the ruddy yellow glow I had before. So all in all pretty successful, but if someone were to ask me if I thought the Silverstars were worth it, I would suggest they wait until a bulb burns out, and make sure their lenses are clean. I'm going to hold off on the Lightning heads for now, but will definitely get a pair when I'm ready to put a bit more money into the truck.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with mine. What is the color temperature of the factory bulbs for 2015 F150 XLT?

New to the forums, but I just did some serious replacements on my '03 Lariat 4x2. Figured I would throw them up here.
