I just received a set of bulbs from Amazon to replace my high, low, and fog lights. I went with Auxito brand based off of Amazon reviews as I couldn't find anyone here who has tried them. Hopefully I will have time to install them tomorrow and report back here with my opinion. Cost for all 6 bulbs shipped was $88 (sale priced)
1) I was expecting a difficult install but it was VERY easy. Remove a couple screws in the fender well, pull it back, easy access. Took me under 10 minutes per side to replace all three bulbs.
2) The bulbs I chose fit perfectly. No cutting/modification at all and the dust covers popped right back on.
3) The 6500k color is OK but I might prefer 6000K.
4) The light DOES NOT SCATTER or blind people. The light lands exactly where the OE bulbs did except for a touch wider pattern except the fog lights which emit a little further down the road. The fog lights now shine far enough to blend into the bottom of the low beams (this is a good thing).
5) The low beams are about 35% brighter, high beams 35% brighter, fog lights 100% brighter. I am concerned that snow/fog driving might be worse but I live in a climate that this issue is somewhat rare.
6) I can see where some might be fooled into the color alone making them seem brighter than they really are.
7) I love the look of white lamps instead of dingy halogen. (When looking ~at~ the truck.)
8) As compared to our other car that has OEM LED's, an Acura TLX..... Not even close. If you are expecting to turn your halogen headlights into true OEM LED performance you will come up short.
In the end I would say that the upgrade to all 6 lamps is worth $100 but not more.

Another thumbs up for Sealight on Amazon. Ordered hi/lo/fog and also picked up JDM ASTAR amber turn signals. Total was about $120 shipped. Turn signals gave me hyperflash, fixed in Forscan, and the low beams were kinda of a pain to get in, otherwise it took about 40 min from start to finish. 1000% worth it. Love the color and output. I just hope they last.

I was going to buy the Headlight Revolution CSP Mini - because I liked the clean installation and LED match to filament size/placement. But at $135 a pop, it was going to run near $400 to do high's low's and fog's. Sorry, but no..... Unless you come with a lifetime warranty, no thanks.
Found these on Amazon - 1/4 of what it would cost me through H.R.

In the questions or review, someone mentioned installing on an F150 with dust covers - I can report back after I receive next week.
I got these installed yesterday, and tested last night. This is a great set up, no doubt about it.
Low beams - near identical to OEM halogen in pattern, and no obnoxious splatter to oncoming traffic
Fogs - I put in a high beam bulb, also no obnoxious splatter and a very good wide flood of the immediate road in front of me. Fills in the gaps of the low beams perfectly
Hi beams - Pretty close match to OEM halogen pattern, very good throw - super distinct as a high beam if you flash them.
With Bambi mode, I can think of very few conditions where I would want more light - and those condition would really only be met with a +24" light bar
The S1 set I bought was this listing on Amazon, but the actual product was in the Scoparc packaging, so I am not sure if there is a difference in them, other than the packaging. There is also an X1 and X2 version - and this is just on Amazon. If you look on Sealight's own site, they don't even show these models we are getting on Amazon, and only show much more expensive ones. I decided to try them because they were fairly cheap but highly rated, so I figured if they sucked, it wouldn't be that big of a loss, and I wanted fanless if possible, because I figure one less potential failure point. I am very happy with them so far.
I just installed these exact same ones. Before and after pics of the low beams below. Any thoughts on how they look? I took them out for a test today after it got dark and was flashed at by one car - does it look like something needs adjusting? Perhaps it was because I had the fogs on too which I may not need now...

These are the headlight adjustment instructions from the F150 Owner's Manual. Mine do not have the circle these mention, but just measure from the ground to even with the installed bulbs, and you'll be good. I think mine was about 41" from the ground. Because these do not have a distinct cut off line like projectors do, you may want to adjust them 2" - 3" lower at 25'. I did that on mine, and have only been flashed once, and that was coming over a hill, where the beams would be aimed above their normal point.
Well I'll be the nay sayer. I went with the Sealights High, Low, Fog. I work in the electrical industry and we measure lighting in 3 ways, kelvin (color of light), lumens (how bright), and CRI (ability to differentiate colors). I was not impressed by the CRI, but that's probably because I had too high of expectations. They were definitely brighter, but not in a useful way. At least for me. The CRI (Color Rendering Index) isn't very good. The ability to differentiate between colors is low, in my opinion. Yes it was brighter, yes the cut off is good, and I was never flashed. But in the end I can "see" better with the craptasitic halogens as ironic as that seems. I did like the look of the LED vs the "orange" of the halogen. I guess for $100 for all 6 lamps its a good deal, but in the end I wasn't happy and returned them. Maybe I'll run Diode Dynamics or F150LED to see if I get better luck, but I have a feeling I will only be satisfied with a true LED housing.
