Upgrade headlights
I am getting ready for these dark winter nights and would like to upgrade my headlights on my '08 F250 SD. See a lot about halo, projector and the works but what is the best way to go if you want legal, bright headlights?

Recon headlights are pretty sick if you want to dish out 500 bucks. much nicer than the ebay ones I would say.

Why would you want the light to be that bright at that angle for oncoming cars? HID's without a reflector change is reckless and stupid . . . and illegal, not DOT approved.

The silverstar's are a little more whiteish and are a def improvment over stock. But even those dont hold a chance aganist HID's. My car has HID's and its a night and day difference when I go from my car to my truck, almost cant see. lol. There's a couple of places that sell nice HID kits for cheap, $200-$300, and they work great. Spend the extra money, it's well worth it.
