FX4 and LED Headlights

[dlcorbett]

Wow i just bought led low beam bulbs on amazon for $40...

 

[Mike Wolfe]

Let me know how you like them
I have spent hours on youtube trying to find the best LED option

 

[dlcorbett]

I will. They are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Im taking my truck to the shop again today and will put em in when i get it back, hopefully sat

My manual shows H11 bulbs for the low beams & HB3 for high beam. Just talked with an expert lighting guy.
He says that is incorrect. That low beams should be HB3 with the projector lens & h11 for the high beam reflector lens. Anyone here know for sure who is correct

H8 FOG LIGHTS stock 35w

h9 65w lower HIGH BEAM headlight bulbs

hb3 60w 9005 LOW BEAM top headlight bulb

Those are the actual bulbs. Manual is wrong.

 

[Mike Wolfe]

Thanks for the correct information
Hope ho one has ordered the incorrect LED or HID bulbs due to Ford's error

Headlights in...its daytime but what a drastic difference it looks bright, how it shouldve been from jump the yellow halos were atrocious in any condition but sunlight...can't wait to see it at night in and in the rain, i wish i could put a led design like the factory ones but im hapoy with what i got...debating if i should put in the high beam bulbs later since the highbeams arent used often...shout out to dc man u came through with lbj clutchness with those bulb numbers

 

[Mike Wolfe]

Do you have the correct bulb numbers for the turn signal, back up & tail light bulbs

How did they work night?

 

[dlcorbett]

Oddly, I actually havent driven the truck at night or in the rain(it rained alot this wknd here 2) since i put them in lol. Ima find an excuse to go ride tonight.

 

[Mike Wolfe]

Any updates on the LED lights for night driving?

 

[dlcorbett]

I wish i took pics. wife drove her last night, what a difference. Cost me 80 bux(50 for lights, 30 for tools) and 45 min for both jobs, worth it. My old nav had hids, the leds blow them away. I had to get the driver side light replaced 2, cost me 1200

 

[Mike Wolfe]

Thanks for the update
Did you have to remove the grill to replace them?
Special tools?

 

[dlcorbett]

Nope, you can access the lights through the wheel well. I needed to buy a specific wrench to unscrew the screws in the liners, they are crazy small and i had to buy a full set of L wrenches to get the right size. Once you unscrew and pop open the liners, jus reach up and take out/put in the lights. The foglights were harder becuz the clips holding the bulbs in were tighter and the wiring had less give. Headlights took 5 min apiece. Plenty of room to put the led mods behind the bulb as well. Dc put out the groundwrk to do it, went on youtube and looked it up. The2018 f150 has the exact same process.

Yeah super easy.
