Sorry if I missed it. I know the headlights are H13ST and the Fogs are 9145's.
Thanks

If you are shopping at Advance, the part number is H13STTWIN which gets you a pair. I got mine there today, by next day order from the distribution center. They aren't selling them by the each (yet).

Is everyone paying $20.00 each?
Autozone in Michigan wants $19.98 for each headlight and each foglight.
Just wondering

I'm still holding out for the Saleen kit though... trying to be patient.
OK, I had purchased the 9145 ST recently in the fog housings but after a few days I decided to try out the 9005 ST.
I figured I really don't take the truck out at nights too often, so therefore, the bulbs will last me some time. Plus, I figured I can hold onto the 9145 ST should the 9005 ST blow out on me whilst driving.
Is there a difference? Good God YES!
They are a LOT brighter and, to some degree, if the height of the fogs are not adjusted properly, they appear to over-ride the head lights. Just about every oncoming vehicle flashed me on the short trip home a couple of nights ago. I droped the height of the fogs at home [level surface] considerably and took the truck back out for a brief trip. Same thing. At least every other oncoming vehicle was flashing me this time. I parked the vehicle on a dark back [industrial] road, left it running with lights on and walked ahead a good 200-300 feet to try and see what oncoming vehicles were. I squatted down to about oncoming vehicle's ride height and had a look at my truck. It looked fine to me. What's up with that? Yes, it was bright but not blinding.
Also, what is the correct height/procedure in which to adjust the light's beam? How far should the vehicle be parked from a wall when determining the correct adjustment? How does Ford do it?
Any assistance would be a gem.

It hasn't been released yet... word on the street is that it *may* cost the same as the Mustang kit -- which is $900.

$900 is an awful lot to pony up for an HID kit, I think. Then again, if they're the only DOT-compliant set out there, then they can set the market.
I'm happy with my H13ST and 9145ST's until I can find a willing taker for one of my kidneys.

Last night on the way back home from hunting, I came up on a car and it began to slow down. I had my new fogs and headlights in and they kept looking back at me so i cut out the foglights. They still continued to drive slow and look back, so I had to run just my fogs on the way back to town.
These headlights must be bright!!
