headlight/fog light replacement

So im looking for a bright LED swap for my 2013 f150 that wont hack up the stock harness. I live up in fairbanks AK and winter and 20 hrs of darkness is on its way
Whats the best band for the buck. I would like to swap out all 4 lights if there is an inexpensive kit.

Thanks
Tim

HL3600's. Very bright, can be used for headlight and fogs. I have both in my truck.

Here ya go. Lifetime LEDs. They have them for heads and fogs. Not exactly cheap, but still less than HID retrofits. I've got them in both my Ranger, and 150. Worth every cent to me.Southeast Overland | Southeast Overland
Just look through the site, you'll find them. Any questions, ask me, or call them and talk to Steve or Jeff.
I also have the CANbus harness for them, but didn't need them.

Oh, and it's all plug/play.

Thanks for the link but ouch. Thats going to hurt the check book. How bright are they? Might try the fog lights just to see. Just dont know if i can drop 400 just for lights right now unless they light up the road really good. Moose get pretty big up here. Haha

Ya, I said they weren't cheap! LOL You must have looked at the high output ones for the heads. I've got the regular ones, I think the high output's are more for offroad. They advertise the regular ones for around $149 USD.
Right on for the moose!! They're big, and almost impossible to see until you're right up on them. Same thing with black bears.
Give them a call, the guys there are knowledgeable, and willing to help you out.
Here's another link, I think it's allowed.

I always say never go cheap on something as important as lighting. And do it right the first time. Lifetime LEDs have been hit and miss on their quality control so take that into consideration. I know you don't want to spend the dough but a proper HID retrofit is what you really should be shooting for.

Or
Rigid Industries DOT approved Dually fogs

Neither are cheap but both are DOT approved unlike the PNP kits. I have the Rigids and they are insanely bright with a low wide output.
