OK. Call me stupid, but I'd rather be called an idiot here than anywhere else for having the wrong headlight kit in mine. What do you guys suggest that's "budget friendly"? I have just the all stock setup still, and the lenses are a little milky and foggy, so there's a definite need for a cleanup in my headlight department.

the way I see it, I would (and have) spent$600 else where on my truck then in headlights. My PnPs do just fine for me and she still takes best in class without projector headlights. To each their own right? I've never been flashed once for them so I'll keep on truckin.

Looking for a Henway.

Yup, get a set of clear lens housings (Lightning - all chrome, Harley Davidson - chrome reflector with black housing). There are variations of these with some having reflectors and some not.
For bulbs, get a set of Sylvania Xtravision or GE Nighthawks. Even the standard halogen that came with my clear lens housings were better than any bulb in a fluted lens.

Headlight housings have come a long way. Many are working fine with higher power bulbs in them. I can honestly say that I have not seen overpowering headlights in oncoming traffic in a very long time. I will say that the newer F150s with HID and the newer gm trucks with HID are close to offensive. I do like the 15+ LED headlights of the F150/Explorer and the Acura line of vehicles. Good clean light output.

In that regard, I don't see the difference.
