Well you can buy OEM ford and spend a billion dollars or you can go on eBay and buy a pair for 70-80 bucks. They say same or better than OEM quality.

Are you saying that you want to improve the light output by simply changing he bulbs?
If so, then Slyvania Silverstar or Philips X-treme Power bulbs are your best bet for halogens. Upgrading your fogs to a 45 watt bulb instead of the 40 watt stock bulb helps too.

For greater output you can look into HID retrofit kits, like those from DDM Tuning. They really shouldnt be put into a reflector housing like the stock headlamps. They should be installed in a projector housing like those made by Recon Lighting.
