DD’s website list their SL1s having the 5-6 week waiting period but I found them in stock on a different site. Just do a quick search. Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait for the fog lights and front switchback turn signals though.

Hundreds of accessories available for these trucks but why is lighting so slow to come along?
Yea, I heard that they have lost a quite a bit of customers by canceling their pre-orders. I like your idea about tinting the headlights though.. Something to consider. Now to the tail light bulbs. I have tried to get some that they sell at Auto Zone but those were horrible. I returned those immediately for a full refund. I do see that Headlight revolution has some https://headlightrevolution.com/2018...d-upgrade-kit/ $200.00 for the set. I have seen the video and it looks like it works well.

I am with you... Why does it take so long for someone to figure this out. We need more quality options..

If you dont mind. Would you please share the brand and model number?
Thanks

I was thinking about buying the OEM LEDS from for but those alone are $2,400. On top of that since my XLT sport is not LED equipped I would have to buy a $300 pair of morimoto ballasts. On the other hand, morimoto XB's are more affordable, but not as appealing :/

I’d swap my 2018 SE Led headlights, ballasts and wiring harness for halogen equipped trucks for the new morimoto 18 headlights.

I have been using PIAA LEDs in a Honda for 2 years. They will go into my new '18 F-150 XLT. They are price but they are cheaper if you order from Japan. ​​​​​​https://global.rakuten.com/en/ I need to order H10s for the fogs. I also bought Japanese versions of Philips Ultinon LED bulbs for parking/brake and turn. They are brighter than the one available here. Pricey at $40/pr though.

Hi!

Has anybody purchased any type of LED bulb/fixture that:

1- Fits in the current stock housing WITH use of the rubber cap that prevents debris and water from entering the headlight housing

2- And could provide a link to those lights

Im trying to stay away from anything with moving parts, ie- fans. Anything with moving parts as small as fans on light bulbs, to me, is only a matter of time before its stops working.

Thank you in advance!
