Next question! What is the best way to upgrade the headlights?

[calabash digger]

I want to upgrade my lights on my 2011. Please give me some suggestions on the best way to do that. Thanks in advance.

Always had good luck with Sylvania SilverStars in my 2010.

I was also a big fan of SilverStar bulbs but they are pricey and never seemed to last more than a year. I now prefer LED lighting but it can be challenging to find replacements that aren't blinding to oncoming traffic and have a decent beam pattern and cutoff line. HIKARI Ultra is what I used a while back but there might be better alternatives now. I also set the cutoff a bit below the recommended measurement to compensate for any unintended glare from the LEDs.

I installed these in May 2020. Huge improvement, good light spread, and not one person has high beamed me. 2014 Limited with stock headlight housings.

I have a 2010 and have had good luck with these for a year. Never been flashed by oncoming traffic. A ton more light (they measure light output in tonnage, right?)

Replaced the low beam bulb with an Osram Night Breaker Laser and wow, huge difference from stock.

Love the look it gave too and matched my white and black theme to a T!

Are you looking at bulbs or the actual housing?
I upgraded the entire housing on my 07 to the Arco(sp) led headlight. Much better than the origiginals.

After some less than stellar results with LED replacements from Amazon, I bought these from SuperBrightLEDs.com and they have been phenomenal. Very clean white light with really sharp cutoff. After installing, I had a friend swap vehicles with me for his sedan and he drove behind me so I could see how they looked in a rear view mirror as well as the oncoming angle and they look very white but not at all “blinding”. Highly recommend.

PS: They also survived my recent unfortunate run in with the dump truck, as did the marker, fog and turn signal LEDs (those were from diode dynamics). I’m pretty certain any lamp with a filament would have been knocked out.

I bought GTR Lighting headlights and fog lights led bulbs, they are awesome, on the expensive side, over 1000 luminescent. Other brands to choose from, use to have 8000k hid kits, not bad get hot and bulbs blow out

 

[union pipewelder]

Good thing about led are the fans that keep your bulbs cool

 

[BlackBetty]

I’ve used all the Sylvania bulbs. They’re OK… however, not super impressive. Then I found out about Headlight Revolution https://www.headlightrevolution.com/. Great products with great warranties.

 

[Lynnii2]

I have HID's in the low and fog on my 2010 Ford Expedition Limited. I always buy from https://ddmtuning.com with the lifetime warranty.

 

[Mark2011]

I installed the same bulbs as bloodhound in June 2020 on my 2011 Limited. No problems so far, straightforward install with no surprises.

 

[Aspen03]

I've been running ddmtuning HID kits on various vehicles for about 10 years. I've had 1 ballast and 1 bulb fail and not on the same car in all of that time. I plan to add them to the expedition when I get new housings, just trying to decide what look I want. Never any issues with heat/melting/discoloration or anything like that.

The 55w 6000k looks very white with a slight blue hue, extremely close to what the Navigator HID looks like from factory.

Well I was thinking bulbs but those lights look good.

What Arco(sp) LED headlight?

That's Anzo and they have no LEDs at all. Even the mood ring is CCFL or whatever you call that (think spiral lightbulbs)

Also, they only last for 2 years, give or take 6 months.
