Looking for some help. I want to replace the bulbs in my stock headlights with LEDs but don’t want the all black or smoked look. Can anyone guide me on how to do this while keeping the stock look?
Commenting to boost the post. I would also like to know, all the aftermarket led/hid lights are hideous in my opinion. Stock is great, just want them brighter.

Yep. Impossible to find
Riffraff diesel has the OEM 04-07 factory headlights with a cutout diagram so they’ll fit the earlier super duties. Big improvement from the earlier models.
Please, for the love of everyone else on the road, do not put LEDs in stock housings. They’re not built the same, and the light output is different. You will blind everyone on the road. Please look into LED-specific housings as they’ll direct the beam better and give you more visibility without blinding others.

Got a link?

This is the only answer.
Those appear to be the stock headlamps. Are you just wanting LED bulbs?

Yeah, but heard it blinds everyone because of the housing?

Let me try and find what brand LEDs I got. They are bright but also adjustable. If the pattern is off, you can twist the bulb to adjust the beam. I have them in the stock headlights on a 2003.

Do I need a conversion harness for that? What did you use?

Nope, they were plug and play. Made a huge difference, especially in dark areas.

Yeah, send me that link please!
LEDs in a reflective dish will scatter light and blind everyone. You’ll need projector housings for LEDs. You can either go for Alpharex or Spyder or even retrofit a kit yourself, but a projector is essential. TheRetrofitSource is solid if you want to do a retrofit. I used them for some M1 or M2s (years ago, so I forgot the details) on a previous car.
Don’t put LEDs in reflective housings unless you want to be flashed every time someone drives past you. Get aftermarket projectors and use LEDs in those.

What kind of housing should I get?
How much are you willing to pay? Ford Super Duty (2005-2007) – AlphaRex

Not a fan of the black or smoked look.

There might be other companies that offer LED headlights.
I redid the headlights on my 2000 Excursion. I got them from https://blackflamecustoms.com. They have OEM housings with HID or LED options.
