Default Changing headlights on F150

Anyone changed the head lights or bulbs to brighter bulbs on a 2015 F150?
What did you changed them with?

I find the stock headlights are so dim.
Compared to our VW.

LED’s are what you are looking for. Night and day difference without blinding the oncoming traffic.

Don't be cheap buy the proper headlight assembly with the led. I know people that toss gravel out the window when the pass azz hats that put illegal bulbs installed

Isn't it amazing; they charge 50 thou for pickups and put in crap for headlights which happen to be a safety issue!
I switched to LED's which was a definite improvement however I think the lens is a big part of the problem. By the way some LED's cause real havoc with two way radios and sensitive electric components.
Like a previous post stated, I'd be searching for the entire light unit to replace.

Buy lots of spares - they don't last that long and burn out ....

edit- up to 2015, may not work on 2015 sorry

My 2016 f150 came with LED headlights that are excellent, try to find some replacement housings complete from a write-off or salvage maybe?

I have a set of Morimoto head lights on my 12 and they are fantastic. Well worth the money.
