I just found my new headlights!

So, last December I got in my fender bender, which took out one of my L-style corner lights and scratched one of my diamond-pattern headlights. Well after a love/hate relationship with my light beam pattern at night, I decided to go with a set of round L-replica headlights. Secondly, many of you know of my Recon LED taillights which instead of a basic LED bulb, they have a chipboard in them. Well, I thought it would be cool to find a front turn signal like this. AND I HAVE



They have no amber reflector, so they will blend in with my white/chrome theme. They feature 14 amber LEDs along with 4 white DRL LEDs. I think they look awesome!!! What do yo guys think???

Good news is that I'm getting a hella huge paycheck tomorrow!!

I know! I was thinking of how cool it would be if I could find a set of corners with chipboard LEDs instead of a LED bulb and BAM I found a pair! I cannot wait for tomorrow so I can buy them

well these are for the 10th gen F-150s. Your 2005 has different styles.

However, you may have another truck, so here ya go:

$150 shipped :

If you go onto eBay and search around there are a few other sellers with them smoked for a few more dollars.

Edit: I was sitting on the toilet thinking about those 4 white DRL LEDs. Unless it comes with a specific harness for them, I think I will wire them into a 12VDC power source that comes on with the ignition key so they always run when the truck is running.

I saw those the other day on ebay...I'd have to see them on the truck before I passed judgement. They look a little mismatched imo.

Well I'll be getting them VERY shortly. I'm just watching my bank account to jump into the triple digits.

I just received an e-mail from them. They have an in-line resistor (so no hyper-flash) and are simple PnP.

They say they come with 9007 bulbs and on the site say: "modification required for HID lighting system." I asked them what they mean and they just restate what is said on the website. blackoutV6, you are running the L heads with HIDs, right? The only issue I could see is the bulb being too long. But dont they fit???
