Default LED Projector Headlights

Does anyone know of anyone who makes LED projector headlights for the '13 F150? I can find regular projector lights and the LED replacement projectors but not the complete assembly ready to be put in. Not looking for the lights that have just the LED accent strips but the actual LED headlights. Been seeing a lot of the new Harleys with the Daylighter LED lights and they are really bright. Someone ought to be making these for our trucks by now.

Doesn't exist...you could however, look into an HID retrofit or OEM HID headlights for improvement over stock halogens.

Already have HIDs and they are bright, but I want something a little more "defined". Guess I'm going to have to buy the separate parts and build them myself. Just hate having to spend the time to do this as I'm already working on too many projects!!!!!

To the best of my knowledge, there's no direct LED headlight available for the F150....unless you build your own. This is a one-off retrofit experiment I built with JW Speaker LED headlights.

I didn't. I only built the passenger side. This was simply an engineering experiment and the headlight sits on a shelf. One day I may build the driver's side and actually put them to use. In reality, the pair would be probably around $2k.

I've seen the JWSpeaker LEDs and kind of what I was looking for. How much were their LEDS? I wouldn't think it would cost quite that much to make these unless of course those LEDs are that high.

biinvic, I noticed you used the 8630s in those lights which look nice. Did they not have the model 90s when you did those? I would think you could probably buy some HID styles and replace the projectors with the model 90s or is that not possible?

The 8630 LED heads go for around $500.00 EACH!

No, the Model 90s were not on the market yet when I built this headlight. The 90's are not cheap either and you need two per headlight because one is low beam and the other would be high beam. Some major fabrication would be required.
