Eliminate HID Headlights
2014 FX4. I would like to change to aftermarket Housings with LED bulbs. Most of them say they're not for the model w/factory HID, Curious if that's because they assume you're trying use your HID bulb and ballast. If You eliminate all of that, why would'nt you be able you use any aftermarket assembly with LED bulbs. Did a search on here and could'nt find this particular problem. Thanks all

My truck came with halogen and I equipped it with oem HID's simply because they are far and away superior for visibility.
If you're wanting the aftermarket bling associated with those type of lights I suggest you check out some of these builds that will be plug-n-play with your trucks wiring. https://www.raptorretrofit.com/09-14-f150/

Alot of what I've read says that some of the newest technology in LED is comparable and even superior to factory HID. I have to replace my R/S assembly, but aftermarket I can get both sides, and Morimoto LEDs for much less than the replacement. But I've only found two manufacturers that say will work on trucks w/factory HID, but I'm not crazy with the styles they have available. Wondering why some work and others don't. Unless anyone knows where I can get just the clear lens for the factory bucket.

I believe you're better off adding additional lighting to supplement waht you have rather then replacing what you have with something halfazzed.
