i knew there was a HUGE differance. but once i saw that i was a true beliver!
 






I got mine today. They are Sylvania Xenarcs. They are a complete headlight housing replacement with a HID LO bulb on top and a Silverstar HI bulb on the bottom. It comes with a wiring harness and the balasts are built right into the housing. Worth every penny spent.

Just wish they made them for my X when I was driving it.

SWEET! You've got them finally. Can't wait to hear what you think about them. :thumbsup:
 






They are by far the best mod I have done to any of my vehicles. The aim is still a bit off but I'll get that fixed tomorrow.

Why haven't you decided? The Xenarc lamps are much better than other aftermarkets, and legal.
 






Dang, that is sweet. This might be my future project!! Thanks guys!

The Xenarcs are only made in an auxillary lo beam now. They are a rectangular fog light lookin thing now. I was VREY LUCKY to get these, especially new ones. Some F-150 owners have been looking for a year or so for them.

96limitedX, before I found the xenarcs I was gonna put a kit into my in-pro car wear headlights. These headlights are a diamond cut headligh with a 9006 hi bulb and a 9005 lo bulb. So if I were to retrofit the 9006 lo bulb to HID I would still have my hi beam. I am selling my set of in-pro headlights if your interested.

well price is a big factor..+ legality doesnt matter in our case.

and the 1 peice headlights for the f-150s look so much better then the seperate heads/corners. and with the kit like i have you could run whatever headlight you want.
 












They Look Great
 






and I thought my silverstars were good.... LoL
im getting this ASAP!
 






Why can't they have something like this for Ford Explorers.
 






SWEET! Looks good! I love my 8k's in My projectors
 






i guess i could update this..

i've had them 5 months now and i LOVE them. now that winters gone and i've been able to try see what they look like on dry pavment at night..its AMAZING. i have got so many complaments on them also..alot of ppl asking about them. they have worked flawlessly from -20 temps to the 87* temps we've had. i love them.

they are just a harness and bulb, you can put them into an explorer if you want

Actually, they're 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts and 2 ignitors (AK's kit). My setup actually has an upgraded harness. Lots of back and forth arguments about the need for a better harness. I'm of the opinion that it can't hurt.

I did a review here.
