LED Headlight Bulbs

[MBohn]

So I just picked up a 2015 Expedition a couple weeks ago. I love the LED fog lights, but was annoyed that the headlights were halogen. Just seemed to look silly to me. I did some searching around and found JDM AStar LED headlight bulbs on amazon, for $59.99 plus shipping. They were simple plug and play. No different than changing out the halogens bulbs when they burn out. No ballast and extra wiring like with HID kits, and I find the beam pattern to be much closer to what a halogen produces than an HID. Including some pics for y'all to check out. Let me know what you think.

*Also note: After installing, the 'hot spot' of the beam had gone up some and I did readjust them properly. In the comparison photo of the LED and halogen, the camera doesn't show it well, but there is a defined cutoff line for the LED bulb.

I was gifted a set of these and have been quite happy.

My hotspot was a touch high as well adjusted them down and they are great. Not as good as HID in my opinion but no ballasts to run or extra wiring and match the fogs spot on.

I am guessing your Expedition does not have projector low beams? While Amazon showed this as compatible with my 17' limited, the base/socket is the incorrect size and the back of the assembly would have contacted the rubber weather seal as well.

Correct. I have reflector housings. The reflector takes an H11 bulb, not sure about the projectors. I was able to neatly tuck everything into the assembly and replace the dust cap. There’s a fair amount of space to tuck away all of the excess wiring.

Getting me some LED headlights and fog lights, the factory on the 2014 are horrible at night.

Got h13 model for 2011. I have seen online both answers to which way the high beam diode should be, up or down. Anyone know the correct answer. The cover over the bulb area is open on the bottom
