I don't like them, but they look factory to me and, I have never seen another pickup like this before.

No I haven't I kinda like them wish there was a better pic. It looks like the brick nose Austria lights.

That's a kit to convert sealed beam applications to be able to use separate bulbs. Still doesn't explain the use of the sealed bulb, though.

I've never seen a bricknose or an OBS use lights like that until a couple of weeks ago. A guy on FTE from Australia is working on a barn find 92 (but their 92 still has a bricknose outer). His has this style lens. According to him, all Aussie-spec F-Series from that era came with the sealed beams. I'm wondering if the lights on the one linked in the ebay ad came off some foreign version as well, because I've never seen OBS trucks running around with that style light.

I wish I could find something like that for a bricknose, because then I could buy an adapter 'bulb' with a built-in projector so I could legitimately run HIDs (as opposed to all those guys that just run around with HIDs in non-projector housings blinding everyone).

Checkout Adrianspeeders post, truck has the same headlights, http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?56363-Pictures-while-using-frequent-flyer-miles

Don't think so. That truck behind him is a typical 99 or newer Super Duty, not an OBS.

Yeah, seen that later. Side turn light, not turn signal, turn light is square on ebay truck, truck on plane light is more triangle. Oh well it'll get a lot of comment.

03 6.0 excursion looks at the emblem it's red.

I REALLY want to know how that was done, I hate the DOT spec composite reflectors with a passion, after years of driving with e-code sealed beam replacements with 100/50W bulbs, the crap lights they put on the obs trucks just don't cut it.

I wonder if it was creative work done custom. A 2000 F-350 we had, had those same headlamps.

We've seen what one can do with custom mirrors, why not a headlamp ass'y?

The 99 and newer Super Duties have (had) an option for sealed beam headlights. It was found mostly on the lower-end models, specifically the fleet vehicles. My guess is the OBS did as well, but it wasn't as common. Either that or he found some lights from a foreign market as I mentioned before.
