Can't say as I agree with your opinion, but then again I don't even like the look of real projectors.

Those are going to put out a TERRIBLE light pattern. You won't touch a set of real retrofitted projectors for less than $500 for a set. Keep that in mind.

Actually proper made projector beams are better focused than (our) standard reflector. The reflector, by design scatters more light wasting it and causing glare for oncoming traffic.

The latter is intensified with our trucks since the lights are higher. Those who install aftermarket high intensity bulbs, especially those burning in the 6000K+ temperature range can be harse. 8000K and above is blinding when poorly aimed and annoying even when aimed correctly due to the phenomenon of glare.

Really? How about these?

http://www.protuninglab.com/199920042.html. Though I wouldn't order from these guys. They won't answer the phone, the contact link doesn't work and the headlight manufacturer is not mentioned.

http://www.carid.com/2001-ford-f-350...ts-318146.html. I spoke with a rep here. He sounded informed. I hear Recon make a good product but haven't fully researched them.

The point is you can get what you want if you do the leg work. None of these lights are cheap. I'd be suspicious if so.

Good luck with your search.

Just a fine point, or two.

If you want good projectors go with RECON! dont get fooled like i did i bought the cheap pair and they dont fit, i had to modify my clips on the heallights just to make them stay in. They didnt fit correct when i got them so i had to cut some of the bottom out, before i did that the company wouldnt take them back either. Dont waste you money on fakes. Just my opinion, cause now i got to spend the extra money to buy the good ones.
