Not dark out yet, so here's the best I can do for now. I did find some new high beams at the local Advance Auto today. Sylvania zXe. I'll try 'em out after dark, but just shining on the inside of the garage door they look much whiter than the bulbs that came with the units.
Take a night shot, I want to see how those lights you got in the grille look at night!

Whatever their website has is what it came with. Been so busy with work and getting ready for vacation that I really haven't delved into it other than adjusting the aim and knowing that the high beams were a little too yellow for my liking. The new Anzo high beam bulbs are due to arrive tomorrow. Will install and then hit the road as soon as the war department gets home from work.

I can't really take credit. Something I read along the way on another forum a long time ago and it always struck me as funny.
Lucky for me she's got a sense of humor!
And I forgot to mention ..... those Sylvania bulbs that I bought at Advance Auto have a $15 mail in rebate right now. Took a little of the sting out of the $59.99 price tag. I didn't find any bulbs on the websites for Advance, Auto Zone or NAPA other than daytime running lamp or fog bulbs. I just happened to stop by the local Advance and found the Sylvania.
So far they're much better than whatever Pro Tuning Labs puts in them for high beams. I still have the Anzo bulbs that I ordered from Amazon on the way. They were much lower cost than the Sylvania. I might swap them out and compare when I return home from vacation in a couple of weeks.

The grille lights look good in darkness. Just enough for me, I like understated. I wasn't interested in the big bars that that span the width of the grille. The little 3 light unit is sold at a local audio shop. A local guy has a metal dealer stamp the backing plates out for a few different truck brands. Then he powder coats them and installs the LEDs.
Packed up and heading to Florida tonight for a couple weeks vacation. But I'll be online down there with the iPad. I'll see if I can get a night shot posted up sometime.

That probably isn't an issue with today's technology. Maybe someone who has the smoked setup could give a post.

I've been interested in these lights as well for a while and just saw this post about them. Poncho450, was wondering when you ordered these, did you order with or without the warning canceller they offer as an option. Was trying to figure out on their website what requires this and haven't been successful so far.
Yours look great, by the way!

When I picked up a set of those lights, I ran the halos & LED's to two separate upfitter switches. Something to think about if you have upfitters.

I had a full HID kit on my 2011 F150 and was happy with that, so the 2018 F150 Halogen lights left me very disappointed. They flat out suck. So I did a full kit of Low/High/Fog to replace them. Scattered beam but nicely throw on the road. Bright white somewhat yellowish in there which it helps on visibility in rain or wet conditions.
