Hids in my 2011 F150 Plat

Sent them to sickhids.com in March and he is finally able to get around to them. I bought some aftermarket ones and they are horrible. I even upgraded the bulbs hoping for better more even out put with no luck. Below are pics of the ones I bought and I didn't hook up the angel eyes or leds as I am not into that just wanted better output.

SickHids.com is almost done with them, went with the E55 shroud, and bi-zeon FX-R projectors.

Currently on the Truck


Light output from these headlights, see the 'halos' on the top


So I finally got pictures today of the final product.





Getting VERY excited!

Isn't there a group buy around here somewhere for the retro-fit HIDs? I can't find it.


EDIT: Found it here

Price changes depending on what you get, but around 400 so far.

$400 each or for the pair? Installed or just the components?

I never want to do the el cheapo HID bulb swap again as it really just threw light everywhere and seemed to blind oncoming traffic without really improving night driving visibility (it just lit up closer objects only but I was expecting farther reaching lighting).

400 for the pair so far, he wanted to do some more custom work, but I really like it the way it is, just call him and he will give you prices. Wait time is killing me though, I had to buy some aftermarket lenses cause he said 4~6 weeks out and it has been about 4 months. Worth the wait though, you can buy my take offs when done and ship yours too him.
