I put plug and play HID's in the stock round housing from theretrofitsource.com and they are so so so so much better than the crappy halogen lights. They bright as can be but I adjusted them down and nobody flashes me so my consensus is they are just fine for the people coming towards me.
And if it increases my safety that much and does not bother other drivers than I'm all for it

Yes I do have a 2012 f150 xlt. I did have previous to this one a 05. I am very unhappy with the 2012 head lights. I can't believe ford felt it was ok to have such sucky lights on a $39000 truck. No only are they dim but they do not broadcast out far enough. Its not that the head lights are adjusted down or need to be adjusted up higher. It's simply the lights don't shine out that far. So let me get this right, H13 bulb for headlights and a 9140 for my fogs. Like I said if budget wasnt an issue I would buy the headlights that are in my brother in laws truck. He has the 2013 with factory projector lights. Those are awesome.

Found them for $31 on Amazon... Pretty reasonable for what sounds like a significant improvement..

You can upgrade to a 9145 fog light bulb without trouble. Many users here have them in their plastic housings without any problems, including myself. They are a little bit of a wiggle to get them is as the tabs are slightly different, but they will go, and they are significantly brighter than the 9140.

I did as one suggested and went to www.theretrofitsource.com and purchased a set of their HID h13 kits, and h10(4145) kit for the fogs. OMG what a difference. The fog lights are brighter than the headlights. I hated to spend that kind of money but it was well worth it. I did save money compared to buying from ford the projector setup. Thanks to the member who suggested that website.
