For the head unit:
I think you can replace it if you use an iDatalink Maestro RR as the interface between truck and HU. The Maestro is designed to not only retain steering wheel controls, but add vehicle-specific controls to certain aftermarket HUs that support showing those screens. So, if you install a supported Alpine, Kenwood, etc they know how to show the climate controls on a special screen and Maestro RR will make them play nice. I had an Alpine ILX-Wxxx in my gray F-150 and liked it a lot. The only "Sync" thing in that truck was the little two-line display showing song/artist but the Maestro kept that working.
For the headlights:
I think 2013-2014 were the years that got projector HIDs from Ford. People seem to retrofit all the time so that ought to be easy enough.
