Is it just me or is only one of those pictures working. And of that picture it is a white F150 with painted headlights with halo rings.

Try loading the pictures again or maybe do you have the link to where you got the pictures, but honestly you aren't going to be able to buy a premade headlight that is going to get you any better light output unless you buy a retrofitted headlight. Which you can do yourself.


EDIT: Ok got the super duty picture to work on my phone with the app. Once again they are only headlights with led rings. No output gain.

I'll ask my question again what year F250 you drive?

Well since you are going to be on two track roads led light bars give better spread for the trails then your headlights. Plus will cover more ground..
They are bright but depends on the length of bar. A 20" bar nets you around 3,000 lumens i believe. You can get up to a 50" bar with about 10,000 lumens.
The nice thing about these when you are on the main road with on coming traffic you can turn them off as to not blind people..

Now if you are looking into modify your headlights to get the brightest you can get look into doing what we call a HID projector retrofit. Check the stickies at the top of the lighting page there is good info there.

Those F250 lights are freakin sick, except that the chrome should be black IMO. Very cool though.

What they plan on doing to the inside? Halos? And paint?

I think a 30" would like fine on the front bumper or a 50" on the roof..

I wanna stick with mounting it on the bumper so probably 30" and they take the stock headlights and will paint them if you want or not and then put 2 halo style lights in and use the top one as a blinker and a running light with orange LED's then they have a one bulb wide row between the 2 headlights that are orange that work as running lights and blinkers.Then the bottom bulb is round and has LED's and it works as the high and low beams.Then they can tint your man clear light cover or leave it how it is. Basicly what ever you want done and I don't beleive you have to have that set up I just sai. Thats just one I'v seen.

Ya get a 30" bar look for good brands Ebay ones are hit and miss.

Those lights sounds nice, just wouldn't do leds for the main beams, just stick with halogens or do a full retrofit. (which can turn out really nice too)

To do it right the first time you gotta search and search and search ha. Make sure what you're getting is reliable and worth the money.
