I have them on my panel but haven't done any true night driving, I also installed the heavy duty wiring harness.

I have used something similar from Summit racing on several vehicles with good results and a little cheaper as well.

LED lights are quite expensive the last time I seen a pair, somewhere around $700, they may be cheaper now.

I will be building my own headlight harness and going with HD parts/connectors

That is also an option

Yes, I think the cheapest I have seen is still $300+

I've been curious about these. Just not sure if i'd have the room behind the housing for my other project. Haven't gotten that far on the F1 to see how much room i have

Here is the ones I have used from Summit. They have an excellent beam pattern and you can't beat the price. Plus you get to put what ever bulb you want in them. I use a standard 55/60 H4 bulb with great results.

If I could justify throwing away my HID conversion in my '02 F250 from Retro-Solutions I would but sadly I am in to deep for that and these obviously won't work in that truck.
