2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
I decided on going with the L2, I'll see if they work once they get here. Downgraded to free shipping because I am no longer a prime member and dont want to pay for shipping. I will return them if they don't.

Just purchased some LED turn signals to upgrade from halogen. I got some resistors as well to prevent hyperblinking. I also read on the Forscan forum there is a change to prevent hyperblinking using forscan as well. Any thoughts on which way would be the best?

Forscan would probably be cleaner, both physically (no resistors) and programming wise, if you know how to do that. I got the resistors because I don't know how to do Forscan, and they work with no issues.

Holy cow, 20k lumens ! Post up some pics when you get em !
Will do! I sure hope they fit. They say 1:1, but that heatsink/fan has me worried a bit.

I swear I'm not lazy but I just don't want to read through 22 pages. What is the best option for high beam and low beam and fog lights?

Well, the best is subjective. What has been verified to fit is in post #1. Honestly, if you pick something different than what you see in the list and it's in the 1:1 form factor, it should fit. I am partial to the CarRover bulbs. They are a great balance between cost and performance. Keep in mind the bulbs in my other truck for the low beams cost 4x as much. For the record, CarRover did send the bulbs I'm currently using at no cost for review. When I did do the review, Ii didn't hold anything back. I'm looking forward to trying their high beams. Should be fun.

I put a cheap set set of yellows in the fog/driving lights in the lower bumper...I'm thinking about throwing some bright LEDs in the high beams an leave the low beams alone so I don't irritate oncoming traffic.

That's exactly what I've done. Not necessarily cheap fog lights, but still swapped for LED. My brights are definitely crazy bright now too. I just haven't found an LED for the low beams good enough to be worth it while not being too bright or glare-ish to annoy other drivers. Others have found some they're comfortable with, but I still can't pull the trigger.

Fog lights installed! Used the same ones as the low beans and again I swapped o-rings. It's a right royal pain in the arse to get at those fog lights and even more so to get the LEDs firing in the right direction. Worth in in the end though. What a huge difference! Much better now.

Did the LEDs trigger a dash error code at all?

No. LED head and foglights don't trigger any dash warnings or errors. I have LED in all my lights except front turns (which do trigger a "light out" fast flash unless you use a resistor or FORSCAN).

Thank you so much for that! I appreciate it .
