Headlight help

[Truck4]

Ok I backed into my truck (2011 ST) with the skid steer, luckily only damage is a cracked headlight. I would like to take the opportunity to upgrade to something alittle nicer, maybe with the DRL and maybe projector style but my eyes hurt from all the reading and still don't really know the difference between HID, LED etc. any one have any good results with a aftermarket plug and play?
Thanks

From what I've seen here, there are folks that like the AlphaRex headlights. Halogen projectors from what I remember.

What is your budget? That will be the biggest factor.

I'll second the Alpharex headlights, I have ZXE halogen in the lows and LEDs in the highs, also have DRLs which I added and wired to the BCM.
I think if I bought them now I would go after the Alpharex Luxx series, those have built in LED. Several people on this forum have them, said it was an improvement over running LED bulbs in the halogen version.
HID are usually the brightness option, some people have no problems with them, other vow never to use them again.

Like you, ive gone blind doing research for a 2008. Dont want led strips or funky neon. Just bright.

I'm comfortable in $400 max if possible, I understand that to get a better light it mite cost alittle, but I can justify $1000+ like I have seen on some sites...

Guess I should also add, that if possible I would like something stock / oem looking (kinda OCD about things like that)

I want this truck in a hellcat edition.

But Goose in all seriousness...love the truck. Similar tastes in builds.
