Uncommon Projector Headlights

Hi, I am interested in a set of these projector headlights that I found. I have not seen any pictures of these yet on an F-150, so I'm guessing their kinda rare, unless I'm just not looking hard enough. I mainly see the other style projectors that are one piece with corners, halos and the leds in the bottoms. I don't much care for that style but I would like to see if anyone has a picture of these style projectors on their trucks. Also, I would like to find a picture of the back side of these headlights since I plan on modding them with turn signal leds. I also plan on adding the harley style corner lights with the orange reflector strips on the bottoms, I think that would look sick on my truck.

I have seen this two piece design before, but cannot tell you how good they are. I myself had a set of one piece, and I hated them with a passion. The light output was not very good, but these seem to be a better quality.

If you do get them, spend the extra $100 and get a set of HIDs to go with them. They will help out a lot.

Damn, looking good! Is there any noticeable glare? What does the beam pattern look like?

Thanks but I'm not interested in HIDs. I just like the look of this projector headlight. I barely even drive at night anyways, so I think HIDs would be a waste of $$$ for me. I'd rather spend that money on a engine mod or somethin to go faster.

Those projector lights were very popular on FordTruckWorld.com when they came out and a lot of people had them. The only thing I do not like is that where the projector is, the lens bubbles out. You cannot see that in the add, because they show it from the side. It makes your truck look like it has bug eyes. lol

Ah, that sucks! Thanks for the heads up. Definitely going to have to look for something else then.

One quick question, are the lines on the bottom of the headlights on the inside or the outside? I think if I got these, I would have to sand those smooth and polish the headlight to make it clear again. That's the only thing I don't like about these headlights is those lines at the bottoms.

Thanks
not the best pic camera sucks at night pics.

I have 8000K HID's have no problem seeing at night.

I don't even have the projector lens hooked up yet to cold to run wires.



Had the same ones on my last f150 and the projector does look cool but the light output stinks.

paid $99 shipped headlights and corners
paid $55.00 shipped for HIDs
Ebay
