HIDPLANET- Please let us know as soon as they are ready. I had HID's on other vehicles and there is no comparison.

I want HID's for my F-150!

Will do.
Although this is not a cheap performing HID Kit, its a full on HID retrofit using our (hidplanet.com) OEM HID Parts. I may use Infiniti Q45 multilens projectors if they fit. If they do, it will be a very unique one of a kind headlight assembly. Usually our customers use Valeo (Audi) or Bosch (BMW) projectors for retrofits.

Lights are made by DEPO. When I had my Tundra, I bought some Tailights from them...I had NO problems with fitting, Leaks, Fogging, etc...

The company is pretty good if you ask me. JMHO.

I dont doubt their seals, just their lighting performance. Ive dealt with alot of headlight units, and their reflector units are not built for good quality lighting spread or performance. The OE lights are decent for what they are....Ford housings used to be MUCH worse but still have alot to be desired. This is why im going to perform a HID projector retrofit to get maximum output.
We only sell OEM HID Projector units and do not deal with rebased HID kits because of glare issues and performance issues.

When you guys get your Ebay Harley lights installed post the pics as i will be getting those regardless of the questionable light output problems mentioned above.

I take whatever HIDPLANET says with a grain of salt as he has a vested interest in his opinion. If he was unbiased i would be more inclined to listen to what he says.

Bottom line is they look awesome, and if we need more light output we have driving lights and we can even put another set behind our billit grills like a few members have allready done.

Just my 2 cents.

^exactly...and everyone started to hijack this thread about HID now...stick to the original subject...

I will be installing mine tonight after work, and it will be dark out by then so I'll see how the light output is. as far as pics, I can get an inside garage pic tonight, maybe some more outdoor ones tomorrow.

If the light output sucks, then I'll complain to the ebay seller and see if I can return them. But I doubt they should be that bad, these aren't like those other ricey projector lense headlights.

You are more than welcome. It drives me nuts when people do that, especially those with a vested interest in their opinions.

I think they look awesome and I will be waiting IMPATIANTLTY for your pics. I’m sure the seller won’t cause a problem as he will gain or lose a lot of business on what is said on these forums about these lights.
Good Luck and Thanks
