Now to the mirror reflector mod. It's pretty well documented on here and I did it a bit differently. I used a 9 LED strip on top for the signals and a 6 LED strip on the bottom for running lights. I ran a wire from the left headlight, through the firewall, split it there and ran through each door and into the mirror. About $35 for this mod since I had the wire lying around. Looks great and adds alot of visibility at night

Now on to what sllydderrr was referring to, my new projector retrofits from tuxedoblack11 They are FX-R Stage III 3" projectors with Morimoto Five5 ballasts and 5K (IIRC) bulbs in stock OEM chrome housings. The cutoff is taking a bit to get used to but the light output is outstanding. Also got the side reflectors covered with a silver vinyl with an F150 cutout and LEDs that functions as a running light as well as turn signals which is pretty sweet

Probably my favorite picture of them so far:

WOW! 
Those headlights look AWESOME! I love things like that which set your truck apart from the crowd.
If you don't mind me asking, what did those set you back? You can PM me if you don't want to say here.

The high beams are amazing, you can see so much. Low beams is a different story because of the cutoff. Like I've said in a few posts when asked, it's a bit hard getting used to the cutoff because below is tons of light and above is none. Depending on the road, it can move up and down because the vehicle is. All in all I'm very happy with them since because I live 10 miles from town and stay out here more often than I go in, I can run highs most of the time.
