NO.

Stay stock and run SS Ultrra, GE Nitehawk Platinum or Philips Extreme bulbs until such time as you can afford / acquire the skills to do it right with a proper retrofit. Please - fer the love of the Great Punkin, do NOT use a PnP HID kit!

Note that no one was born with those skills - so you may just surprise yourself if you were to at least try. Plenty of resources available to help you.

Price-wise you can spend almost as much (or more) on worthless, poorly performing ebay chinglish junk as a good retrofit.

Same answers as here ( which you could have found yerself if you had tried a simple search): https://www.f150online.com/forums/il...2011-f150.html

There are no skills. You use a dremel and drill a hole. Keep drilling until it fits. Snug it down and attach some wires.

What MGD said is pretty spot on. If you buy anything from eBay, you'll be wanting/needing another set when they haze/burn out/die/crack on you.

That scares everyone the first time. (even me) but once you do it you become comfortable with it. Heck I've done it twice already on my first retro I have.
Just take your time, read up on how to do everything and you'll be fine

As long as you don't set the oven too high and check them every 2-3 minutes, you'll be fine.
