I am going to be ordering this once I find out if wiring the high beam bulb is possible. This headlight assembly give you one bulb for low beam (my HID) and another for high beams. Our truck is equipped with a dual filament one bulb. How can i wire this properly so that everything works?

 

Those look nice. It say's on the description all wiring for the headlights are pre-assembled for the essential plug and play application so maybe you won't have to do anything. Post a pic when you get them.

 

Yea I think I am going to get them. Worse comes to worse, I'll be where I started (no high beams-HID is only low beams). I wonder if the HID bulb will fit in the projectors...I believe the HID bulbs are longer than reg halogen bulbs..

 

I think Im gonna give that a try. worse comes to worse, I dont have high beams, and I already dont due to my single filament HID bulb. I wonder if I will have a fitment issue with the HID bulb due to the fact that it is a bit longer than a reg halogen bulb...

 

I was looking at the link again and noticed at the top right of the page there is a Ask seller a question option, maybe give that a try. The only other thing to do is try and find someone that already has them and see how it worked for them. They are nice looking headlights though.

 

These aren't HID, these are projector lights. They use regular halogen bulbs with projector lenses. I don't know of any F150 that has true HID unless the owner went out and spent over $300 to $800 on true HID setup. Halogen bulbs that say they are HID is a misnomer!
Actual HID bulbs require an outside power source to provide the high voltage necessary to supply the bulb. HID bulbs in an actual HID arrangement cost big bucks!
Halogen bulbs that have the HID designation on them are usually blue tinted bulbs that try and provide a blueish white luminance. They are merly brighter burning halogens with a tinted glass! Nowehere near HIDS!
If you have a true HID setup then you would be down grading with these! Anyway it says all wiring is plug and play. So one has to assume it's all in the connector supplied by the projector beam manufacturer.
FYI - projector headlights depending on the manufacturer could cause a lot of glare!

Studies have shown that those proclaimed HID halogens do not offer the distance of regular halogens!

 

I do have a true HID set up. One of the major reason why I wanted projectors was to make my light ouput more precise. Yes I did spend over $350 for a HID kit

 

You will have to down grade back to halogen bulbs since true HIDS I don't think will fit. It is also my understanding true HIDS have two bulbs one for the high and one for the low, yet you state you have dualfilament HID.

 

Those would look 10 times better if you could paint the trim around the projectors inside the light the same color as your truck. Other wise I think it's a little on the chezzy side. Then again I'm not a fan of the chrome tail lights either. If it is just plug and play then I would think you would have to lose your HID kit that you spent so much on. What's wrong with just the HID kit, does it not make good light? How about the Harley lights with the HID kit installed on them?

 

those things are already pre-wired, they look cool but less visibility if you ask me. i had one before... as i said cool looks but not cool at nights unless you got a fog light with your truck.

I have a single filament bulb since no one makes a dual filament for a 9008 application. And the seller responded back saying that the housing will accept HID bulb, but it wont be efficient. There isnt enough air space and it will eventually kill the bulb. So I guess I wont be chaning out the headlights.

 

"Our truck is equipped with a dual filament one bulb"

I read fine, you first say you have a low and a high beam bulb ( my HID), then you post the above. Based on this statement you are contradicting yourself! So what is it a HID setup or dual filament halogen setup, since true HIDs don't supply dual filament bulbs!

Think it's in the delivery of your writing!

 

I have a true HID set up and yes, Bixenon HIDs have dual filaments. I would know because my BMW has BiXenons and when I turn on the highs, the same bulb emmits that high beam. A semi-bixenons are when you get one low beam HID light output, and the high beam is a regular halogen. I had this set up in my Lexus IS300 and it isn't as efficient as the BiXeonons in my BMW. I no longer want to argue with you over the internet. Have a nice day!!

 

I know this is my first post to this site and I dont want to make a bad impression but if I'm not mistaking bixenon HIDs do not actually have dual filaments or in their case duals arcs of light to produce low and high beam effects. Inside the projector the shield that produces the cutoff actually moves to direct the light upwards out of the projector to produce a high beam effect. Some after market HID like the H4 that has high/low feature the bulb moves to direct the light out of the reflector. I do wish that they made a bi-xenon HID kit for our trucks but I just ordered black projector headlight off of ebay today but will not be installing HIDs most likely because the projectors are not made for HIDs. They won't spread the light to the sides like HID projectors do like on your BMW. You would need to retro a HID projector into your existing housing or in place of the halogen projector if you went to after market headlights. The projector lamps that I ordered to not use a H13 bulb. They use a H3 for the projector and a H1 for the high. I suppose you could get a H3 HID kits and put it in the projector but the light output would not be as good as if it were in a HID projector.

 

Saleen F-150 comes with true HID. Should be about $900 - ouch !

Saleen-designed headlamp assemblies incorporating the industry's first bi-functional Xenon/HID lamp, these lights use moveable light shield technology to achieve both high and low beam functions in a single reflector with only one HID light source.
