Mayhem....GET YOUR HEADLIGHTS RETROED! I had my headlights on my Ford Harley Davidson/Lightning and I had cops give me thumbs up (they suck over here). To each their own, you would be surprised at how many ppl don't know them kinda specifics. Just don't install a gaudy Kelvin bulb and cops won't get pissed. 6k is the highest I would run with projectors. You'll be smiling from ear to ear too!
I have to agree with you though mayhem if your wanting OEM. These will be a great upgrade but now it's only to see exactly how much they are....including ballast?!

Even if you are able to retrofit the 2013 lights to previous model years, I think it's going to be prohibitively expensive. I'll bet it will be somewhere north of $2000.

I'm gonna do it - I'll guarantee you. I'm guessing the headlamp assys will wholesale in the $500 range each. You can buy the bulbs aftermarket - not el cheapo - Im talking OE supplier... Sylvania, Philips etc for about $65 ea. The ballasts will probably be the same ballasts all the other late model Ford HIDS use and they can be bought on ebay new for less than $100 ea. I hope to come in under $1500.

The headlights are obvisouly interchangeable - because they still offer the "old" lights in the non-HID trucks. Installing the light, wiring the projector to a high beam relay and wiring the ballast to low beam circuit. Done.

I promise I'll be one of the first people to do it. I am curious to see if just that one projector headlight will be the standard for even HD and Raptors or if they will come out with a blacked out one. If not, I dont mind the grey in the lights - they match the grille and fender flares.
