yes, but they are cheap ebay crap. orrr you can buy a custom retrofit. that route will cost you some change, but will look and perform the best. whatever you do, dont throw HIDS in a nonHID housing. and if you havent already

i figured the ebay ones were crap, i still just have the stock lights but black. however driving in the dark now is getting tough because they are so bad at throwing light, the other night i was picking a friend up who was standing in the middle of the street and it took me getting within about 15-25 ft of her before i could see her

i used to have HIDs but took them out a couple years ago because i was getting flashed too much, I love Saleen's lights and would love those but are there any other people retrofitting them? i know they are worth the money, just didnt have that in mind to spend, i do a pretty good job of talking myself into things though

what i love about saleen's is that they just look stock but with HIDs which is what i want, hate the look of lights like on ebay with hids in them

Sure they do! No point Not installing them if he's building/selling complete kits - they won't work, lol.

Those retrofits are either done by each member or purchased from diverse builders.

This is him: https://www.f150online.com/forums/pa...ck-chrome.html

PM him.
