'02 Screw HID projecter upgrade/retrofit
So i've seen alot of 04+ F150 HID projector upgrades and then the "bulb-tastic" blinder kits.. I'm not one for doing things 1/2 way, so after about a year of debating, i finally decided That it was time to upgrade the headlights in the truck as i can't see ***** around here at night, and if its Oh and not to mention since TRS had their FX-R kit on sale, it was an even better time.
I've got a new set of FoMoCo Lightning headlights that I will be doing the swap into. Since i haven't found a single thread doing this on any of the older trucks, i'll take pictures along the way of the entire process..
Link to the kit i purchased:

I'll get photo's of the Lightning headlights w/ sylvania silver-stars tomorrow and post them up for before shots.

Thank you in advance. I too was torn for many months before I decided to do a retrofit of FX projectors on my previous ranger. It took months and hours but the payoff of a sharp cutoff line, bright white (4300K) and lots of looks and comments from others really made it worth it. A big plus is that I was leaving for school in the morning when it was dark and stayed so late that it was dark again when I drove home out into the dark country. I will empathize with you now on the amount of work needing to be done because I was the only guy on the ranger forums to have done it and that was a great feeling.
Good luck and please keep us updated with pictures and the story as time goes on.

Well, if all goes well i'll hopefully be able to get the conversion done with about 3 days of work.
I'm still not sure if i'm going to keep the chrome reflector look (my truck is white) or do a black-out w/ real carbon fiber laminated over the chrome reflector w/ some angel-eyes... soo many choices.

did you get a reflector Retrofit kit, or one of the drop in hid bulb kits that just uses the stock housing?
