fishx65 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Been running a DDM 35/5000 HID kit in my 2011 for 12 years with no problems. I've noticed the bulbs are starting to dim so it's time to do something and I've noticed that LEDs seem to have gotten a lot better than they were 12 years ago. Should I just order new HID bulbs or give LEDs a shot. Any suggestions if I decide to go LED? I was looking at the Auxito Y13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 If not retrofitting, I’d just go back to halogen. It’s literally your best usable light option in a halogen housing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 If yours came with HID I would stick with that. The problem I see using LED's in housings that weren't designed for them results in poorly focused beams that blind the oncoming traffic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 (edited) Well, I tried two different led bulbs in my 2011., The Fahren Forsher and Auxito Y13. The beam pattern was just OK after rotating them properly but they weren't much brighter than stock 9012 halogens. Two sided LED bulbs just don't work well in these halogen projectors.I ended up putting the 35/5000 DDM HIDs back in with new bulbs. I might eventually experiment with some higher quality LEDs if I decide to keep my Edge a little longer. Edited March 1 by fishx65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
