Got aholdnof RR today. I am really going to eat into any margin they had on this thing. Might check ebay and see what they have to offer too.

And check your local Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace.


13-14 Raptors are the only Raptors with HIDs, so good luck.

To illustrate EricM's point on just how rare Raptor HID's are, their backgrounds are unique amongst the F-150 models in that they are the only models that are all black; FX's are all dark grey, and regular 50's are a combination of chrome surround and silver/gunmetal inset.

If you get desperate, a set of FX HID's could tide you over until you come across a genuine Raptor pair as most people wouldn't know the difference except the diehard purist amongst us.

Random thought for the day if you only drive during the day, you don't need headlights!
If it rains, they can ticket you for not having headlights on nowadays. I think all my newer Fords turn the headlights on automatically when the wipers are on, assuming it's in auto mode.

I don't run the Rapor in auto headlamp mode to preserve the HID ballasts/lamps. For those that don't know, the "turn on" is what kills the HID ballasts/lamps. Don't flash them during the day. Don't leave them on auto so they kick on every time you back out of the garage when it's daylight out, and vice versa- when you pull back in during the day you don't want them turning on for 10 seconds.
