adapter plug came and the rain stopped. headlights are installed, using halogen bulb for now until HIDs come in a few days up to a week. i'll also be throwing on HIDs to the fog lights, anyone have experience with that? I want to make sure these fog lights won't melt lol ( 35w but still ).

I can take day pics if anyone is interested.

It's essentially this - https://www.carid.com/2008-ford-exp...-bar-projector-led-headlights-2051165201.html

except I purchased on OfferUp for 250$, it was a local meet up and paid cash. i'm very pleased! I just need to get my side marker working.

these are the ones I got. it doesn't have the chrome/silver accent, only on the Ford letters, which is what I was going for; however I may match it down the line to the exterior ones where it has the outer chrome accent, but we'll see.

I looked at those but weren't sure about the connections. This was a helpful thread. Thanks!

let me know if you do purchase them, the main obstacle is getting suitable connectors for the DRL's. I essentially had to butcher my previous H13 HID bulbs, I took the spear pin type connector off and crimped them onto the DRL raw wires. I could not find these connectors online, l i'll take a picture of them when I take my headlamps back apart in a few days.

otherwise, it's a very simple headlight to deal with, and the results are fantastic. you will need this connector also to run a side marker bulb along with DRL, I am waiting for mine in the mail - Winka T10 W5W 194 LED Bulbs Sockets Pre-Wired Harness Connector Adapter for Auto Car 6PCS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8F83CS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2Z37PCZB77SR5G64JEYW

you can get any 194 bulb you want, I got LED ones with frosted cap ends on them. turn signal is just factory bulb re-used from truck's harness.
