I wasn't looking at OEM. Something like this:

Amazon.com: Ford F-150 Headlights Lamps With Amber Reflector Lighting Kit (Chrome Housing) - 12 Gen: Automotive Amazon.com: Ford F-150 Headlights Lamps With Amber Reflector Lighting Kit (Chrome Housing) - 12 Gen: Automotive

Good point Cowboy, that makes sense.

Those are the ones I was considering too. Hoping to avoid separating the OEM permaseal lights.

You can count me in!

Still trying to figure out what shrouds and bulb temp.
What is the difference between the two ballasts offered?

4300K will give you the most lumens, 6000k is slightly blue.

Which ballasts, 35w vs 55w?

Default 35W vs. 55W Ballasts

The difference is the output of power. Usually with more power comes less bulb life. Also a higher power might create slight color distortion, example: a 6000k might look more like a 5000k, the higher power can diminish the blue tint. I personally don't think the 55W ballast is worth the trouble. I will be going with the 35W.

Count me officially out now. I don't think I can justify the expenditure when I'm trying to get credit card paid off. Hope the buy goes through!

No problem. You'll be money ahead by getting out of debt first.
