+1000 on Rock Auto.

I had that problem really bad. The eye doctor prescribed high does of vitamin A. What an improvement!

I drive a 2000 Blazer for work and hunting...The lights weren't great so I purchased a full set of housings...Headlight, turn signal/fog and taillights.

Kept the factory bulbs in everything but the headlights. I put LED's in there. A world of difference...Even with the light smoke headlights.

I'm thinking, with the technology of today, LED is where it's at. Halogen is great, HID is brighter than the ones I have in there...But they have a bit of a "warmup" time and sometimes don't fire at all.

God said "Let there Be light" and there was light.

PLEASE - tell me that you ALL took the time to aim these replacement headlights properly!
Mis-aimed headlights literally blind us poor blue-eyed folks!
We blue-eyed folk tend to be WAY more light sensitive than others - and mis-aimed headlights hurt! I personally wish the authorities would ban the "blue" lights.

When you replace a headlight - they are not necessarily aimed properly.

I'll add my own sentiment to this. If you are one of them that has the bright blueish lights that are blinding whether on brights or dims, I sincerely wish you get a good look at the cow/elk/horse/guardrail you hopefully plow into.

My sentiments exactly. Tired of being blinded by the damn things.

My low beams are aimed properly, as are the fog lights. Obviously, the high beams and auxiliary lights are aimed for maximum coverage, and I won't use them if there's a chance of blinding someone. There is always the occasional numbnuts that won't dip their lights, or have the cheap blue HID's that scatter light everywhere. I'm not afraid to demonstrate my displeasure by giving them a dose of their own medicine.

Asides from people blinking lights at me, how would I know if the light are aimd properly? Always wondered that.

pull up to the garage door at night turn light on, low and then high

see where the spotlight is, adjust accordingly.

Are those stock replacements or upgrades? Any recommendations for a 2000 F250? I see a lot on Ebay and know they are the same part for 99 to 2004.

Not stock. Gt them from rock auto. Ive gotten a few parts from them. They always fit. What I meant was not oem, probably not an upgrade.

Just ordered some LED bulbs for my 98 Tahoe.

Tired of the HID's. Use my high beams alot, which are factory Halogens. Every time I flip them off the HID's come on when they feel like it. I'm done with them.

I got my replacements offa ebay. Great upgrade over factory....



and if you really wanna 'light up the night', grab one of those high-powered led lightbars.....



A remote HID spotlight can't hurt to have....

That's similar to what I was looking at. Did yours come with bulbs? Did you upgrade the bulbs from stock?

it came with regular bulbs and a HID kit. The HID kit has no installation directions and neither me, or my mechanic, could figure out how to hook-up the HID bulbs. So standard they remain.....

Thanks. I did a little research on the HID bulbs and I think there is a converter or relay needed to make them work.

They need a ballast and an igniter, sometimes those components are combined in one unit. Resistors or bulb out warning cancellers are also required on certain vehicles that actively monitor bulb status to avoid headlight out warnings on the dash.
