Question about custom headlights
I have an 84' F-150 and I am looking to get some new headlights.
I'm not looking to get anything normal or typical, I want something like this: Universal Spyder Projector Headlights - PRO-CL-7X6-C by Spyder
(not those specifically but maybe something with projectors)
I think my headlight size is 7X6, (I'll check in the morning)
could i just put any headlight with the 7X6 size in there?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm here to learn.

That's my baby! (I have a new fender and bezzle but that's for later)

Yeah the 7x6 is your size, but with a cheap pair of headlights like that, you are going to get what you paid for. Chances are those projectors will have a poor light cutoff, and you'll get condensation behind the lens.
Those projector housings he posted can be used with a standard H4 halogen bulb (about 4300K), or an H4 H.I.D. kit (typically ranging from 3000K (yellow), to 12,000K (purple-ish), with your blue light at about an 8000K kit. You can also get an HID kit in the stock lumens at 4300K, or a whiter light kit at 6000K.) A lot of the modern vehicles are leaving the factory with an HID kit in a projector housing with the appropriate light cut off. The problem is when people use an HID kit in a standard reflective housing like the ones from the LMC link that produce bad glare for on coming drivers.
** in most places there is a bylaw (enforced or not) that it is illegal to have an HID kit installed in a vehicle that never had them from the factory
