not real familiar with hid's led's or halo's. i have a 2014 f150 xlt with tow package. the front headlights have the "f150" on them...are my lights hid led, etc? im wanting to get new front and rear lights for the truck but apparently there are different option depending what my truck has. can anyone help with this

 

Do you have a picture of your truck?
If the "F150" is embossed near the grille, inside the light housing, then you have factory OEM HIDs.

What's your reasoning for wanting to change them out?

 

well not necessarily the lights themselves but the housings

 

and yes its near the grill

 

What don't you like about the housings?
The only way to get better lighting performance is a projector swap with bulb and ballast upgrade. I had a retrofit done two years ago. Ran it for a year. The lighting output was insane, but the OEM HIDs are 100% adequate and kill halogens all day long.

 

Smoking the headlights and taillights

 

Damn you're vague.
Tinting the lens, or blacking out the inside of the housing? A little extra detail goes a long way.

 

Haha. Im looking qt the spyder front and rear housings. Smoked lenses and inside of the housing

 

And that would be a downgrade in lighting performance. Spyder's optics are subpar compared to even the D3S projectors we have. You'd be better off having someone retrofit your current setup to your liking including a ExoX-R projector swap with ballasts and new bulbs. However it's your money, spend it stupidly if you wish.

 

like i said im not familiar with lights and electrical on vehicles. ill take your advise into consideration. but if i do chose to spend my money stupidly... i will

 

so figured out i dont have factory hid's i do have projector halos

 

I take that back i have hid's haha credit to you davis

 

I dont think ill change the housings though maybe just get the 6000 bulbs

 

Ya know, pictures help.
6k bulbs look cool but they actually give you less usable light. Yellow light is better for visibility. With that said you'd be better off with something like the OSRAM CBI which is a 5500K bulb. Slightly whiter and still good visibility. The more blue/purple you go then the less you see. This is why most OEM bulbs are 4000-4300K in temp/color.
