Totally_Ripped Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Has anyone changed the factory HIDs to something brighter? The headlights in this thing seem dull and terrible at night. Should I convert them to LEDs or are my HIDs just getting old an weak?

Perblue Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Have you ever replaced them? HID and halogen bulbs do dim over time and 9 years are very old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally_Ripped Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Nope, I've never replaced them. My wife drove it a few nights ago and mentioned how dull they are compared to the LEDs in my 2017 F150. Are new HIDs comparable to LEDs?

In cheap aftermarket leds yes, for factory to factory lighting comparison I like my leds better but hids at same color temp seems to be a matter of preference and seen it debated on many forums. I will be surprised if the new ones don't fix the issue unless your headlights are also fogged also then you need to polish them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
