I've yet to find a LED proven to install in my 2017 Expedition reflector housings that fit without cobbling the housings and provide the same light beam pattern.
I was prepared to fit four SL1 LEDs but the primary vendor of SL1 LEDs didn't know if they'd fit and the bulbs are very expensive. Expense would be fine if they fit and actually threw the same beam pattern as the halogens with more light down the road. My primary desire is for the high beams but a complete set would be beneficial.
Any vendor who wants me to review these just contact me. Be glad to buy them if they meet requirements.
Back in the 5" diameter sealed beam days it was almost a trivial modification to run 12v GE aircraft landing lights as high beams. Just had to bend a contact in the low beams so they shut off when the landing lights came on. Otherwise the headlight circuit breaker would trip -- yeah, these drew high amps.
