Default What are the absolute best and brightest led headlight bulbs for my 2020 F150?

My Internet searches have turned up mostly reviews on cheaper bulbs . I have found very little on high end bulbs. I had Diode dynamics bulbs in my 2017 but they appear to be out of stock for many weeks. Also wondering if there is anything newer, better, brighter. Thanks all.

Headlight Revolution handles DD brand, And others. Best and brighteast should not be used in this context a lot of factors are involved.

I have a 2019 XLT and replaced my halogens with GTR Ultra 2's in the High Beams, GTR CSP mini on the Low Beams, and Ultra 2's on the Fog lights and GTR Armour 4357's Switchbacks on the turn signals. I used Forscan to turn off hyperflash on the turn signals and enable Bambi Mode. The combination is frightenling bright.

I bought the Sealight S2s and love them. Longevity will be the determining factor. They are the exact same size as stock, the ballast fit inside the stock dust cover and the beam pattern is the exact same as stock. If someone flashes you it’s because they sit lower not because you’re spraying them with poorly reflected light. $135 on Amazon.

Normally when your High Beams are on, your truck will automatically turn your fog lights off. Bambi Mode is a change that you can do to the software in your truck that keeps the fog lights on when the high beams are on. In my truck, I can have the low beams, high beams, Daytime running lights and the fog lights on at the same time. It's VERY bright, light looking at the sun. I ONLY do that when I'm on deserted roads.

Do your daytime running lights (DRLs) still work with the LED setup you use? Or did you make any changes in FORSCAN?

I was thinking of doing this. Is the light output greater? Or does this just change the color to the white light?? Thanks.

Also following this for my 2020 XLT.

I’d been doing a little research but I find folks that say the F150LED Cree set are over priced but work. don’t know if that accounts for the current sale ($315 for combo set). I saw one video but it looked like they’re aiming way too high. Heard they are hard to align. I do NOT want to be blinding everyone else just so I can see better. But I do think they are nice and bright.

I hear others say the cheaper options are fine, but I don’t hear if they are well aligned or not.

I hear the Phillips are good quality but I don’t hear if they can be aligned either.

Bascically, I want good LEDs that I can align. I don’t mind spending some money for quality but I don’t want to waste it for similar quality that I can get for a lower cost.

However, the stock halogen lights leave A LOT to be desired.
