LED's or Halogens for my 2016 Expedition XLT

Mark Buckner · Jan 14, 2020

I installed these lamps from superbrightleds.com and could not be more pleased. I put them into the factory headlight housings and they provide a brighter, cleaner light that seems to reach out better than halogens. I have had no problems with them irritating oncoming drivers. Note that I did install the Load Resistors to prevent the error messages and flickering. (Prices from my 09/2018 invoice)

H13-HLV4: H13 LED Fanless Headlight/Fog Light Conversion Kit with Internal Drivers - 4,000 Lumens/Set - Cool White $69.95

H13-RL650-H: Headlight Load Resistor Kit - H13 LED Headlight Bulbs - H13-RL650-H $17.95

Thanks all for the replies. I have been offline for a bit. Halogens have been good but in reading on the newer bulbs they are burning out faster because of DRL. So then the debate is whether the cost of replacing halogens is worth it. I think I will try the halogens and if they burn out too quick I will make the switch to LED's. Thanks again.

My other car uses the high beams at reduced power as DRLs and I've not lost a bulb. I replaced working but dim halogens over 5 years ago and these bulbs are still working. Some bright halogens are listed with a very short bulb life like a couple hundred hours.

I'm running LED high beams in my '17 Expedition that seem to be working fine.
