I found them on eBay, recon has some similar to these for about $800. Although, they appear to be built of the same quality. I swapped out all the bulbs. You have to make sure that the bulbs you order fit the headlight. Because I ordered a H1 Led for the high beams and they didn’t fit because the bulb housing is made for an HID. I swapped the low beams with a HIKARI Led H7 Bulb And The highbeams with a H1 SYLVANIA Silverstar ZXE.

Swapping out the bulbs is a must, because the $5 bulbs it comes with are horrible.

Did you have to install an LED harness for the Hikari and if you did does it come with the harness? It looks to me like both the low beam(projector) and the high beam are both capped off. How were you able to remove the caps to get the Hikaris and the Sylvanias in there?

Sorry for all of the questions. I ordered the SPYDERs/Hikaris/Sylvanias and tailights(plug and play and ALL LED)and they will be here by Friday.

It’s fine, I’m more than happy to help you out. So the Hikari’s are totally plug in play and the caps are just little rubber caps that can be removed by hand. Now the hikaris will be in there kind of tight by the way.
Also I’d love to hear how the interior lights go because i considering getting some. The sylvania’s aren’t the best things out there but I needed a quick bulb. Im going to the be converting the fog lights to led soon as well.

I noticed on a lot of the reviews for the Sylvanias that they burn out anywhere from 6 months to a year but the reviews aren't exactly up to date either and it's not like I'm going to be driving around with my high beams on all the time. I think the last review was from last year. The Hikaris had great ratings.

I sent you a PM with a link for the fog lamps. I think they are going to look FAN-TASTIC and they had good reviews.

Thanks for all your help. I knew I made the right choice joining this forum:grin:

just hope u don't have to adjust the beams. My Spyders lights are aimed so the center beam hits the road about 25' in front of my truck. I need to adjust them, but to get to the adjusters, you have to remove the lights!

I have the Recon version and the white DRL bar is barely visible in daylight. You have to look hard to see if it's even turned on.

I have the Recon version as well. The shop that installed them also suggested (and I followed their suggestion) I have clearcoat added TO the lights at the time of install. They had seen the problem of Recon's 'clearcoat' coming apart after a while. And yeah, during the day you can barely tell the DRL's are on. I was hoping for a look similar to later model trucks with LED DRL's. Not! But as soon as evening starts to come on, the DRL's are clearly visible. I like it! :thumb:

After having owned this pair of headlights for six months, I wouldn’t recommend buying these SPYDER/RECON headlights to any 11-16 f-250/f-350 owner. Adding LED bulbs to your stock headlights and fog lights is the way to go instead.

But if you already have bought these then I would recommend adjusting the headlights (Pain to do with these aftermarket headlights) and adding some LED bulbs to your fog lights, I have had no problem seeing at night ever since doing this. Since these headlights are made for halogen bulbs, I haven’t been able to fit any LED Bulb inside the high beam. I have used the Hikari 9600lm H7 bulb for my low beam and Sylvania H1 bulb for my high beam (Not bright but only bulb that I could find).
