I have upgraded to LED headlights in many vehicles. Normally, the cheaper LED replacements work fine. This was not the case with my 2017 Ford Expedition Limited (w/projectors).
I ordered from a trusted brand that was about $30 per pair. 9005 for the low beam and H9 for the high beam. Neither would work for different reasons. The H9 LED lamps would not fit inside the housing, because the heat sink was too large at the base. The 9005 fit, but would not turn on due to the lack of can bus and the computer did not accept them. Returned.
I ordered 2 pairs again, but from this vendor. 9005 and H3. Twice as much, but we’ll worth it.
For starters, the design is almost identical to the factory shape, using a small fan rather than a larger heat sink. The a short braided wire and the “brains” in a small box at the end. No issues with the fit.
The lamps are extremely bright and EXTREMELY white!
I am happy that I tried this brand before ordering the HID conversion kit, which would have cost me double the amount.
