I've been wanting 2013 lights for a while now. I wasn't a fan of the gray ones that come in the 2013+ Raptor stock. The 2010-2012 had black accent headlights, I don't get why on '13+ they made it gray housing, looks too plasitcy to me. So I got a set of black housing '13 HID lights to keep with the factory blacked light theme. Scored them on ebay for $200 each! Both had 1 half broken mounting hole at the top, which is no big deal because 1/2 the hole is still there so that bolt still clamps down, and there's 2 other bolts holes on each light anyway, so they're plenty secure. I'll gladly take a $800 discount on lights for a half broken mounting hole LOL.
With that $800+ that I saved over buying a new OEM set, I sent them out to Dawson at Raptor Retrofit for further upgrades, so in the end my out of pocket cost is what a new OEM set would cost, but with all sorts of goodies and upgrades!
-EvoX-R projectors instead of the stockers
-55w ballasts instead of stocker 35w
-5000k bulbs instead of stocker 4300k
-Amber whisker LEDs
I also had clear-bra on my stock lights, so they literally still look brand spanking new after 22k miles. For these lights I ordered Lamin-x tinted film. Unfortunately I screwed up the drivers side piece and had to peel it off, so only the passenger side is tinted in these pics lol. It's driving me NUTS and I can't wait for the replacement drivers piece to get here! I couldn't wait to put the lights on though so I stuck them on even though 1 isn't tinted yet lol. It made for a good side by side comparison though, the lights are SO bright, that the really light tint doesn't affect the output at all. It's just enough to give the light a slight smoked look, not enough to get me pulled over or dimish output.
I'll get more pics once with the SLR camera once I get the drivers light tint done again so they match. In the mean time, I can't hold out, here's the pics!
