I think she was saying HID's as an option. You can get aftermarket HID's.

Yes, they make capped bulbs for non-projector housings. And they look fantastic!

I had them on my 2012 but I hated them, never really seemed to light up the road very good in my opinion, Now that I have HID's all I can say is WOW

Had the vision x H13's in my F-250 for 2 years and 2 months before one blew, they're much brighter and whiter than a stock bulb or the silverstars I had, which burnt out in just over a year.. best bang for your buck.

most HID conversion kits are junk, cheap bulbs that fit poorly and burn out, and ballasts that can flicker or cause electrical issues..

Vote for the Silverstar Ultras as well.
You can find a set on ebay for around $20.00 if you are patient.
I bought a spare set to have on hand. Have only had mine in for a few months so far, so can't comment on bulb life as yet.
