97 EB Driving Lights?

brockimusPRIME · Jul 26, 2016

Okay. I have been searching the forums trying to find something about the driving/fog light sizes and info about upgrades. I'm fairly new to the forums and my apologies if anyone has already asked this, I'd gladly go read their thread if it's posted below. But just a quick couple questions.

What size stock bulbs do they use?

What size do you recommend for an upgrade?

Do you have any alternate ideas for the driving light/fog lights? (Converting my headlights and corners to the Lightning)

I really appreciate all your feedback or information.

Welcome to the forum Your owners manual should have the stock bulb numbers in it.
If you don't have a owners manual you can download a copy at owner.ford.com

I appreciate that @Bedrck47

I am also looking to upgrade the lights. Curious to what people use on here for their lenses, bulbs and so forth. Pics would be great as well.

Check on e-bay On my 01 I just changed the bulb to LED lights But didn't change the lenses There are better replacement/aftermarket lenses assembles on e-bay Also check rock auto to see what they may have

Right. I am on Amazon looking at just clear OEM style. I don't want the HALO or anything. Planned on possibly going with LED. How are you enjoying yours? What brand did you go with @Bedrck47 ?

All I did was upgrade the bulb to LED from e-bay They work good

I went with the F150 heritage clear lens (similar to the Harley Davidson version sans the amber) and HIDs. Havent played with LEDs enough apart from interior lights only

These are the headlights that I upgraded with two years ago. Even though they are cheap the light output was a great improvement (and still is) . I use Sylvania Silverstar bulbs.

I replaced the fog lights with some yellow halogen ones also from Amazon. I also installed a kit which allows the fog lights to remain on with the high beams (which has helped me a lot on dark rainy nights.)

That was from eBay and I'll be happy to find you the link if interested. I can't remember the exact bulb sizes but a Google search should give you a list.

You shouldn't use LED or HID bulbs in a Halogen reflector housing - the focal point for each light source is different, you should only use lights intended for each light source. Otherwise, the beam pattern won't be correct - usually sending light up in the trees or all in the foreground and not where you really need it to see best going down the road.

I did an HID projector retrofit on mine, that is the best option to properly install HID lights.
