i have not done it to a old ford yet but i have done it to a civic. you want a 6000k or 8000k light not a 10000k one.

You will have to upgrade the wiring to run these. A relay conversion is best, where you run large gauge wires straight from the battery to the relays, and use the stock wiring to switch the relays.
If you try to run these straight off the original wiring, it will cause issues.

Some areas the cops target blue headlights. They are technically illegal as they are not white.

this is how the numbers add up too.
- 3000K = Yellow Tint
- 4300K = White
- 6000K = Pure White
- 8000K = Slight Tint of Blue
- 10000K = Tint of Blue
- 12000K = Most Blue
- 14000K = Blue
- 30000K= Purple Tint
hope this helps you out.

I used the painless kit i got several years ago. Umm everything is labled as far as the wires function it was a universal kind of kit but if you know wiring pretty good its fairly easy!! Not sure if they offer a 21 circuit kit anymore?

If you can I'd be interested in seeing the before and after pics this is an upgrade I had in mind when I get the truck that far let us know what you all have to do for the installation for them to work right
