I have no idea about LED with the projector lens. But I would not recommend LED. I like the light but aftermarket headlight, tail light and reverse LED bulbs have fallen apart in my truck. Literally, they break apart. The light from them is great but they don't hold up to the vibrations and shock.

I've always loved that styling in the Ford truck's nose. Probably the best looking front end ever.

They made a mistake with the change to the sideways "U" double-lights that started in '15.

I've had very unimpressive results using LED H7 bulbs in projectors. YMMV but if I was to look for a projector upgrade I would actually go with a HID retrofit (please don't do this in a reflector).

So what did you find or what are you using now,i'll try it because I still have not found an led that fits in inside my headlight.
I have changed every halogen light in my truck a few years ago and never had any vibrate loose but the past few months I bought new headlights and tailights,I mean I think its a nice upgrade to buying a new truck and mine only has 70,000 miles.

I haven't found anything that has left my truly satisfied so I am back to the factory halogens. Running Philips H13 bulbs with a hand made 12awg relay harness... but I do have some Alpharex Novas on order which I'm going to try to be happy with.

I hope that you have better luck with those Alphas than I did. I had hyper flashing right turn signal, it kept tripping something in the BCM. Long procedure to return them with there shipping label, and 10 months latter no refund, and they kept my lights. Special shout out to Elite race fab who also stole a share of my money on the deal.
