Projector Headlights
Here is a pic of a superduty. I was lookin' at buying some but I have a brushguard, so they won't stand out. The guy I talked to told me they were an easy swap. Came with a wiring harness.

Projector Headlights
Installed them in my X 6 months ago. Yes I like them and have had no problems. There was talk of leaking and the chrome turning black. Still like new
. The install isn`t bad, there is some triming involved and the wiring harness for the fogs is to short, had to lenghten.
Here are some tips to make the job easier: 1) to remove the stock headlights, grab the top clips with vise grips, twist R+L while pulling up. They will come off. If you snap one, go to a near by bodyshop and see if the have some laying around. Ford wants $3 to$5 apiece. As for the bottem mount, use a boxed end 9/16" and slip it over the plastic mount. Should slip right out. The mount is also easy to brake. 2) the Rad support is made of fiberglass, so when you trim for the new housings, use a mask, glasses and gloves. the dust goes every where. I used a pencile grinder to trim the opening. A Roto Zip might work also. 3) If your thinking of putting better baulbs, do it now. I used Silver Stars. While your at it, install a SUV wireing harness, it`s plug and play. 4) Just for safety, use silicone on all the seam`s and sockets.
Take your time and enjoy the new look!
