First mod advice needed-headlights

I have a red 2003 screw and I am wanting to upgrade my headlights. I have been reading threads for 3 days and I am a bit confused.

Here is what i know...
I am fairly sure that I am wanting to go with HID's. I kind of like the ideas of projectors/halo, but as i mentioned, this will be the first mod that I make on this truck and i don't want it to be too much and I don't care for the stock housing.

any thoughts or suggestion on what direction I should be looking??

thanks

mhburris

As far as the direction, It is whatever appeals to you. They have alot of options out there for HIDs. I like the halos also, but can't decide either. If you go to ebay, just type in f150 headlights 03, they list is long. Good luck choosing. Do you have a pic of your truck? That may make it easier for people to see what style would fit your look.

Check out eBay. Just type in "2003 Ford F150 headlight" and scroll through the many options they have on their for sale.

HIDs are a good choice no matter what you get. If you live out in the middle of nowhere, I would suggest getting bi-xenon as you need that high-beam for that long-distance sight.

Okay, I have been looking on ebay and I have a question. My truck has a single hi/lo bulb, do the new units with 2 lenses convert them to a 2 bulb system?

And can these units be converted to HID??

thanks
