    Ok, I bought my 04 F150 used, and one of the headlights has some condensation in it. I am really wanting to just upgrade and maybe put some hid or led headlights on it, but I have absolutely no clue about the lights or the kits that are available. I have seen the blue bulbs that are very bright in factory headlights, and I've seen the round led types in other cars/trucks that have circular looking bulbs. I have no idea where to start, what will work best, or all the parts that I would need. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am also wondering if there is something that can be done with the factory fog lights to get the blue look and to make them brighter. I was looking at these for the headlights, but I dont know if they are what I need, and what else I would have to buy. Thanks in advance for any help.

    you can upgrade both fogs and heads to hid. we have a vendor in the vendor section who can get you what you need or other places. you can bake your heads open them and get the moisture out paint the inside and reseal them.

    I put HIDs in both headlights and fog lights. I am running 6000k lights in both they are more white than blue but I think they are brighter. I would recommend if going with HIDs that you go with a slim ballist. They tend to be more water proof. I filled one of the thick ballist with water that splashed up. Also if you are going to keep the stock headlights don't get the high/low beam headlights the light gets dispersed wrong when on high beam. I dont have any experience with the others you listed but the light output from the HIDs is outstanding.
