Saw this posted the other day, really curious about how well they work in stock housings, and if the lifespan justifies the price.

There was a thread on here about them a while ago some guys on here are running them. Here's the link to the thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...eadlights.html
It seems like the consensus was much better low beams but high beams weren't much of an improvement. They have new high power ones now also but haven't seen any reviews on those yet.

I bought mine in prince George, bc at a place called interior offroad. The kit was a black and white box simply called "LED" It was a worthy upgrade for the money spent. As said. the highbeams don't give a big improvement. I bought a set of DOT approved 7" LED driving lights and wired them into the highbeam switch. After I get my LED fogs I should be pretty well lit up.

Partially pertinent fact,
everyone always wants a wide span of light for high beams, to see animals and stuff that might jump out of the ditch.
But, the catch, is that they say you're less likely to get injured, statistically, if you don't see them.
I guess the average person has a greater chance of causing injuries on the highway from swerving, than actually potentially hitting a deer or elk, or whatever.
I'm sure just about anyone would argue that though, and say that they're reflexes are above average and they want the light in the ditches to see.

Don't be tricked into thinking those led bulbs are DOT compliant just because he says they are. ANY alteration from STOCK (including bulb) is NOT dot compliant. My headlight housing is stock and has the DOT stamp but I know my retrofit projectors are NOT DOT approved in superdutys yet.
