Johny Utah Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 What has worked the best for you? Want to get a kit for my 2019 fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Just don't. Bad for all the same reasons drop-in HID kits aren't a good idea. Just led drivers now instead of HID ballasts. Edited December 31, 2019 by spankis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Probably just take your pick. Get the highest rated junk you see on Amazon. A buddy of mine asked the same thing the other day, saying they have ones with adjustable shrouds or maybe rotatable bulbs at least....as if that will 'make it right' In the end he settled on...who cares as long as my wife can see. Sadly thats the answer...you will be able to see the ditches and tree tops better, thus giving the impression you have made an improvement, but everyone else will simply be throwing negative Karma your way hoping you put that thing in a ditch asap.

Johny Utah Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I take it blinds people then? My head lights are not very good. I put in good halogen ones. Made it better. Still not close to what I would like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Probably just take your pick. Get the highest rated junk you see on Amazon. +1. Just got some Hikari foglights for $17 shipped. Nice and bright, but not expecting them to do 2+ hours duty-time every day as I only occasionally use them.

Crossle Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have had mixed issues putting LED's in newer vehicles because they don't have high enough resistance for the electrical circuits. If your car uses the headlights also for daytime running lights forget about it. If you have fog lights, they may not work properly because the LED's don't have enough resistance. I have had continued success with HID's with the auxiliary ballasts in vehicles where LED's did not work. Just my experience. I do prefer LED's, more plug and play, less to mess with. The ones I buy are just whatever is on Amazon with a ton of high-ish reviews. I have Hikari's currently in 3 vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Utah Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I was thinking about these. https://www.headlightexperts.com/h11-single-beam-led-technology-kit?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgKzwBRCjARIsABBbFuj2QceSE-0brIp95w5LKCVh_piN4VLVDdf_M_lzPhfRLyP6EBo32ckaAn-WEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 This channel on Youtube seems to do some reasonable testing of LED lights. I haven’t bought any, and these guys also sell them so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe you’ll find it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol was just complaining the other day she doesn't think her headlights are bright enough in her Tundra. Maybe I should grab a set from this test. Thanks man. Oh, and fuck you too.

iwashmycar Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you want a good read on it, this guy went way in depth! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/why-leds-should-not-be-run-in-halogen-reflectors.454371/ And you are looking at H11's? Dude made a thread testing those too: (granted its a Tacoma not a Fusion) https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I went with amazon specials for my BMW that were projector halogen with LED turn signals. Why? Even as part of normal service I was changing signal light bulbs far more often than headlight bulbs and on that car they are much harder to change. LED's are basically set it and forget it. For headlight...light I feel like there are too many options out there that throw poor light. LED doesn't generate more light, it just draws less power and require less service and that's the advantage. LED lights that provide a real improvement in light being shown cost real money, and I am cheap, whereas it's hard to get a bad halogen in projector light.

AngryBMW Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I just replaced headlights and fogs in my super duty with BeamTech and so far, they have been awesome. Plug and play...inexpensive...fast shipping. They were recommended by another buddy with my same truck and he has ran them for a long time without complaint. They are way better than the stockers. https://www.beamtechs.com/ -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been in over 3 months now and I've only been 'brighted' once. They aren't obnoxious and the difference is amazing. Wish I would have done it sooner.

I usually then hit them with the highbeams and they fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also be an option for my year/packages (Ours has appearance and TRD). Hers is a 2000. We found a unicorn, garage queen, 1 owner Ohio truck that was completely clean and 100% rust free. Might help to clean up the headlight lenses. Don't know that I'm really wanting to spend the money for a good set of LEDs. It sounds like the cheap ones will just burn out (or burn the truck down to the ground). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great truck and moved to a 2006 double cab because our daughter was a pain to get out of the back in parking lots. Should be a great truck and just update with better bulbs if the mrs's says they are too dim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
