Are this projection a god buy? F150 209-2011

I found this retrofit http://www.carhidkits.com/ford-76/f-...-f150-336.html Is these a good idea? Are any quality issues ? Thanks for your input.

That's not a retrofit. They are the standard aftermarket projector headlights with a split-beam design. The low beam is a halogen projector, and the high beam is a halogen reflector. They meet DOT/ECE standard because they are meant for halogens. As you can see they do not come with HIDs because that would void the ratings. And since you have a 2004, these wouldn't even fit on your truck.

Thanks! I did't notice these are halogens! And now I have a 2010 I'll update my profile later.

Yeah those are retrofits, the same thing I have. You would have to cut your headlight open and bolt them in there. Its about 8 hours worth of work, but the output is the best you'll ever get from an automotive headlamp.
