Original headlights would be from a mid 80s F150 or Bronco.

Correct, per a search of the forum.  Here's more info

Headlight Replacement and Rock Guards (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=1909.msg6251#msg6251)

(This assumes the OEM rectangular lights and not the round style used in the various headlight conversions)

Agree  Bronco or F150, 1985 or so. Got my replacements on Ebay about $160 pair if I remember rightly. I did a write up here on my upgrades. Search " Seeking enlightenment ". Led bulb change was a huge improvement.
Good Luck Cheers Ric

I am interested in your upgrade, but was not able to find your write up.  The search just turned up a post, but not one from you or about light upgrades.

I previously updated the headlights on my 1991 Bronco to projection headlights from the retrofit source
Morimoto M LED Stage III | Bi-LED Projectors (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-headlight-projectors-kit.html)
My bronco got the cheap HID but the foretravel will get LED projectors. The following pictures of are the Hid on the bronco. Note the lens ended up needing the prism polished smooth but the light was brilliant. Old light was left to compare light unmodified.

Have you sourced a LED projector purpose built for LED?  I'd like to upgrade my HID projectors but want the right reflector designed for LED rather than just changing bulb.

dsd, please, please start a new thread on how you end up installing these LED projectors in the Ford buckets!!!  I for one want to keep the aggressive look of the mongo OEM headlights, and I know LED projectors are the possible answer.  A lot of us would like to drive some in the dark, and I find it unsafe to do so with the OEM lights.  Thanks in advance, Woody.
