That's the company. I used the Moon Series Canbus Ballasts that have the built in cancellers so all you need is the 35 W HID kit, select the bulb temp color that you want. I went with the 5K temp because it was the closest to white light. LEDs are nice but don't project well from the stock projector headlights because the design of the parabolic reflector is designed for incandescents. HIDs are very very close to incandescent in design which is why the work so well.@ExpeditionAndy bought from a good website that you can plug in your truck and it will tell you what you need. I may purchase from there for myself for christmas. I forgot the name of the site but he was happy with his and postedd output pics a while back. Im sure he will chime in. Just remembered XenonHID.com. The HID projects a nice clean light and has a good cutoff line most have been very happy with them.

Did any Expeditions prior to ‘15 come with halogen projectors?
I agree with Adieu 100%.
The best option as far as light output is concerned is HID projector retrofits in stock-style housings. This is also the most expensive option and it can be difficult to find someone to do them, unless you are willing to take the time and effort to do it yourself. Very rewarding but can be challenging.
Alternatively, something like these: https://www.protuninglab.com/pro-yd...ooglepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=140846687338
with a plug-n-play HID kit will give you better output than stock reflectors, but not nearly as good as proper retrofits.
Putting a plug-n-play HID kit in reflectors shouldn’t be considered even a last resort.
