I've run a few hundred miles in the rain with them, and there's no leaks. I'm sooner or later going to get some of the Diode Dynamics SL1's for Hi and Lo, from what I've read, those should help.
thanks for the response. thats exactly what I wanted to hear. I prefer oem stuff but the gray se headlights just dont do it for me. My truck is very similar to your truck, just blue and 5.0. we have very similar taste, so obviously I love what you have done to yours.

See my build thread for what your truck would look like with black headlight housings.

Thanks for the nice words! I like using OEM where possible, but that doesn't always happen. So you think you're gonna try those SpecD's?
And take a look at what Summers22 is doing, since both of you have the same color, you might get some ideas. His taste is very similar as well.

Yea I’ve looked at summers build too. The spec d is the brand I plan on buying. Considering the sl1 led lights too.
Summers talked about the beam pattern on his seemed kinda off. And I believe those were not spec d.

No , his aren't SpecD, I can't recall what they are. He'll likely see this and let ya know.

Trust me, they are made in the same factory as all of them, the front of them all say QIATANG where the Ford oval usually is. But yes, the beam pattern is different than OEM, but remember, I have LEDs, John is using halogens. I am very discerning, and if I didn't like them, they would be yanked.

Okay, didn’t realize you were running led’s. Makes sense then.Not the least bit surprised that they are probably all made at the same place. That’s usually the case. Thanks for the info guys. Y’all are great.

John, did you ever install the smoked fogs? I like the knock-off Morimoto LED's I installed, but miss the yellow light. I want to get a set of the smoked but was wondering just how light or dark the lens is. Thanks.
