LED lights
Looking for options & feed back on head lights & fog lights for my 2003 F350. Stockers have always been dim, even with new buckets. Hoping LED bulbs would help out. Thanks guys!
These seemed decent as I prefer a plug n' play Low Beam: 9007 Hi/Lo Dual Beam LED Headlight Conversion Kit

Those lights that you linked actually won’t work with a crap they won’t have a higbeam and will also blind oncoming traffic because of the placement of the leds, you need lights that have the led chips in the same positions as the halogen bulbs. A lot a lot us have been haveing really good luck with the auxbeam and beamtech lights they are the exact same lights but I don’t think either of them have a 9007. So I would recommend switching to the 05 to 07 lights that use a h13. Going to the new lights is a pretty easy thing and not only look better but have better output.
here is a thread it’s a bunch of guys and there impressions of them

I put in new buckets a while back & have a plow harness so I'd rather keep the 9007 if I can but understand the H13 is just better in these trucks. My first thought was that I'd only have one beam but, this company states they will have high & low beam, but hey it's their website not reviews that are saying that! lol I'll check it out, thanks

Looks like more people like the Beamtech. Main complaint seems to be the high & low are both 25 watt. I also have a Bright Box that allows me to run both beams at the same time. Wonder if that'll help with this concern.

Yea a lot more guys have gone with the beamtechs and most of the posts Ive seen about the auxbeams aren't the same model that I linked and don't work very well but the ones I linked are the same lights as the beamtechs . Anyway It looks like the beamtechs do have a 9007 in stock in that amazon link so thats what I would go with if you want led lights and want to keep the 9007 housings. The high beam is the same wattage as the low but a completely different pattern than the low it is actually a functional high beam and is very bright on a standard halogen the high beam is only 5 watts more than the lows anyway, so I would worry to much about them being the same wattage. The lights do have to be oriented the right way in the housings for them to work properly. For the price its hard to go wrong but I don't think anyone has tried the 9007s yet.
