I doubt you will find anyone willing to sell the old ones for $50 right away. Most people will want to use the new ones awhile and make sure everything is alright. You'd feel real stupid buying black headlights for $200 and selling the stockers for $50, then the replacements turn out to not perform as expected and you have to shell out who knows how much from Ford for stock ones again.
I believe the key word(s) is "right away". Give it some time Banzai, you might come across someone who just wants to get rid of them for the room. I too thought about taking my stockers apart and painting them. The more I thought about it, it was easier to buy these and keep the stock ones. That way if I ever get tired of the look, just put the stock ones back in and sell the black ones.

USE THE CLASSIFIEDS TO SELL YOUR ITEMS... NOT THE FORUMS.

Finally, after seeing all these pimp trucks with the new headlights, mine are finally here. They are at my house, UPS just dropped them off, and now I have to wait till I get home to check them out. I am going to try to install them tonight, but just wondering if people have had to readjust their headlights after installing these? Is the adjuster part of the headlight, or separate from the headlight? Thanks!

Yeah but only one. The adjustment screw is that silver one near the top. . I pulled my truck in the garage and marked on the wall where the stock lights hit it and adjusted the new ones to match.
Before installing the new ones, I measured the stock ones and adjusted the new ones to match them. Drove it around the block to see how they looked. Really not that bad. Good luck and be sure to post us some pictures.

I will def post pictures. I am going to try to install them tonight, see how it goes.

Anyway, as for the pro-beam headlight covers, they are exactly what you said they are, cheap! You go the cheap way out, and it looks cheap. Frankly, I don't know about you, but I don't want my truck to look cheap. And I have to TOTALLY disagree. These lights look awesome on just about every color of these trucks, with them especially looking great on dark colored trucks. Rice would be euro taillamps. Why don't you get the pro-beam headlight covers and take the cheap way out, cause the rest of us would rather spend the money to not look CHEAP. Just my .02.

By the way, KCSport and all others, your lights look totally sick! I love them!

Thumbs up

Well I got 'em installed today. No big deal. I did have a little trouble with one of the lamps. Apparently they glued in the lens cover in place a little bit shy of the clamps. The result was one head lamp stuck out a bit further than the other. I took a hair dryer to it for about 30 seconds and applied some pressure to the housing. It did the trick. It looks great on a black truck. It's like it should have ALWAYS been there. I'm 100% satisfied. I'd like to post a pic but don't know how. Can someone tell me how? (Sorry still new around here).

The bottom line.. This product gets my vote! I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a black headlight.

Goto the https://www.f150online.com/gallery/index.html and create a new gallery using your exisiting account user name and password, and basically follow the steps. It is pretty straight forward. If you need any help just ask.

I got my headlights in last night, and I must say they look awesome. They were actually adjusted quite well from right out of the box. I still need to fine tune them a little. I had the problem with the left side light, the outer turn signal did not work. I had heard that this was a common problem though. Anyway, I took the housing out of the stock light, put it in this one, and it was good to go. They look sick on my true blue truck. I would have gotten pics, but it was a little to dark to see them. I will take pics this weekend once I get her cleaned up again. I have to take the truck in to get my rear window replaced friday, so I hope to clean it up after that is all set. Pics to come!

I got my lights in today and I have to agree with everyone that they seem like they are of very high quality....I was very impressed with everything about them. Even though it was storming I had to go ahead and install them...they look very good on a black truck, but it was hard to get use to not seeing all that chrome up there! I didn't have a chance to get many good pics but here is a peek.

Ram, How bout a direct in front shot of both lights & the grill minus the emblem. Like you're about to run the camera over.

Just trying to see if what I want in my head is really what I want.


Thanks
