No, they really don’t. It looks like absolute shit when the whole headlight is glowing. Not to mention it’s a truck so it will be much easier to blind every car on the road. > [@BREETIME](#): > > my 0.2. > buy some ebay projector head lights. if you look hard enough you can find some decent looking, not too ugly replicas of the oem. > cheap, reliable hids can be had at d **d** [mtuning.com](http://mtuning.com) > done Fixed 🙂 ---

To the OP, whatever you think looks good as long as there projectors. Or you could find someone who makes retros, retrofitted headlights which are projectors from another car retrofitted in an f-150s headlight housing. They can look really good but are usually expensive. If you find some on ebay you like go for it. But please don’t just put hids in the stockers, it literally blinds everyone especially being a truck. ---

If you want to look totally poor then put some really blue HIDs in your oem housings. If you really wanna up the poor factor you should get at LEAST one set of matching fog lights as well. Also if you’re trying to SOUND like a jackass as well as look like one, you should call them “hids” and not “aich eye dees” ---

Buy 6000K, if you must have more “blue” then buy 8000K. Don’t buy anything higher, like the 15000K you mentioned less light on the road just more blue tint. Also get projector headlights, don’t be a dick and put HID’s in OEM housings. ---

Like i said money isnt a problem i just wasnt sure what to get…I am going to go with the 6000k… I just want to find something good… yea that was the kinda think i was talking about. if your not afraid to throw some money around then i would send your headlights to a company that specializes in retro fitting projectors in oem lamps. ---
