OK- I hate to do this. But I gotta get better headlights in my 2009 EXP

OK i guess there ARE some half-decent output and throw LED bulb solutions for a reflector too...


Not on my expy and sitting in the fog lamp position on my bimmer, but here's what 12,000 lumen bulbs throw like (could be kinda glare-ey up high in a truck though I guess?)

Zdatt 12,000 lumen, $35ish off amazon. Come with two gimmicky-looking filter caps to change colors to 3000k and 8000k if you want

Did you buy the limited skirt for the bottom of your truck? I see it’s all white

Well that's disappointing...I have a YJ so it has the 5x7 square lights...8500 is the model # IIRC...was hoping they had something similar as I was wanting to go with a black back ground headlight..

Spyder and Anzo make black chrome-less versions

Although for sheer light output bang per buck, the Liteway F150 fogs are in a class of their own

Probably the first and simplest step for more output out front (note: requires tiiiiiiny modification to your stock foglight housing, have to shave down a couple plastic elbows with a boxcutter or xacto knife)

Ah, I priced out the skirt some time ago it was around $3-$4,000 for the plastic alone. Probably better to dye the trim beige like the Eddie Bauer’s.

The whole truck cost $4600.... 22k miles ago

My paint sucks though. Dunno if it's Ford cheaping out on SSVs or somebody redid it, but orange peel everywhere...
