Default HID conversion

I Have a 2011 F150 Lariat SuperCrew with EcoBoost. I want to convert the head lights and fog lights to HID, can anyone suggest a website to buy them from or where to go buy them? I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated! Thanks!

You should really look into retrofits, and not put them in your stock housings.. I had mine done by tuxedoblack11.
Here's my low beams

Watch out, the glare police is on patrol.

HID's in regular housings make my face fall into my palms with agony and despair at their hideous, ricey, cheap, terrible, sea of scatter appearance. Just throwin' it out there.

Nice, three avatars showing off HID pjs. (well two distinct ones oops)

Seriously though, we're all assuming op was looking for a cheap pnp kit (me included) but we don't know that for sure.

Contact the retrofit source if you're a diyer.
bilinvic or tuxedoblack11 if you're not.
I have been driving home in the dark on nearly deserted roads this past week and the projectors are worth the cost!

I would for sure put your HIDs into projectors. Like others have said contact one of the guys here doing them or buy some decent aftermarket ones, have mercy on the oncoming traffic.

Please help a guy out who is a complete novice when it comes to lighting. I checked in here because the factory lighting, mainly high beams, is very poor. Is HID the best way to go; or is there a bulb changeout that will give me better long distance throw with my high beams?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
