Anyone add one of these to your F150? Can't seem to find additional info on them. What bulbs does it use? Do they leak? Do they required additional wiring or are they PnP? The usual stuff.

OP, they are plug and play.

The back of the photo on the Ebay ad shows a set of leads for the halo with no connectors, just insulated wire. Where do the halos get their power from?
Every set of headlights that I've purchased from Ebay has required you to land your own power source for the halos and leds, including the set that I currently have on my truck.

I've installed several sets of headlights similar to these that were also purchased from Ebay.

Just to humor you I will share this wee little tidbit. The parking lamp on the light has a lead that plugs into the side marker lamp harness of the truck. This is where your phantom power source for the halo comes from.
But, for whatever reason, me personally having had a set of these lights is not enough evidence that they are plug and play............

Well in this case no matter how many ebay halo lights you've installed, these are plug and play.

OP, good luck with your lights. They will be a nice looking upgrade.

Nothing of what you've said about these lights is relevant. The incorrect input concerning these lights can confuse the OP which goes completely against what this message board is all about, product relevance and correct information.

With all due respect to 'Stealth', I purchased a pair of these same lights back in 08 and those had to have the CCFL wires spliced into the parking light circuit. It is possible in later versions that they added a connector for the marker light socket as 'Stealth' referred to. Don't know about now. I had a pair of these retro ed with projectors and they came apart inside due to the weight of the projectors. Not a very well constructed light on the inside back then, like I said, possibly they are making them different now...good luck and keep us posted

From your description, your version was definitely not the version I had. Yes maybe you had an earlier version. The version I had is the same as the lights in the linked ebay ad, but mine were black and not chrome. They required zero modification to work (as I've explained in different words lol). Mine were well constructed and as good a quality as stock Ford headlights IMO.

Yea, the ones I had was black, like yours and exactly like the linked ones on ebay. The adjustment stand-off's inside for the reflector bowl were pencil thin...wouldn't hold the weight of a projector without jiggling all the time. It would be nice to know for sure they are better than the ones I had..I really liked the style of them.

That's what I liked about them..the uniqueness of them. Just wound up retrofitting a standard black housing with FX-R's and that's what I am running now..guess we hijacked the poor guy's thread enough already..have a good evening 'Stealth'.....
