Denise Egan Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have a 2008 ford edge and want to replace the headlights any suggestions on the brightest replacement besides LED? I don't want to have to purchase any kind of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Tried three different bulbs and all were little to no better.Even tried the Sylvania Ultra's Finally did the LED's from dan@daytimebrightlites.com and they are fantastic! The best part...simple plug and play install...no wiring issues....and they were only $120. Dont waste your time on different bulbs...do the LED's from Dan...his service is fantastic !

candurin Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just to avoid confusion. Dan's headlight kits are HID, not LEDs. HID would represent the biggest lumens/"brightness" increase. However, if you have a halogen reflector (which the 2008 edge does), you will cause issues to oncoming traffic due to the improper light scatter as a result of using HID bulbs in reflector housing. You may want to consider upgrading to a projector headlight on your edge. VLED.com does sell a true LED headlight conversion kit, which may be better suited for a reflector housing (but I can't back that up with any science nor evidence). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Im sorry...Dan's light are indeed HID..Im just so impressed by his conversion kit after battling poor lighting for a year....his kit took me 30 minutes to install with absolutely no splicing or cutting of wires..simply plug em My Edge Sport is also a 2013 ....

PrinzII Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 In the past, I used PIAA Extreme White bulbs. But ever since I went HID (and plan to go LED), I have not looked back at any halogen bulb whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 H-9's in place of the H-11's make a huge difference in low beam brightness. Lots of info online about the slight mod you have to make to the H-9 for proper fitment. Just make sure to aim them properly after install.
