Led Headlight bulbs

[Mark Clough]

Really struggled with the lighting when I bought my Wildtrak, one of the first changes I made to it was the LED upgrade to the dipped beam, the first one I did wasn't necessirily brighter but with the white light instead of the dim, yellow light, it was a huge improvement. I upgraded again to brigher LED's and you saw the improvement again. You can see me doing it here:

Now that I've driven at night a few more times with the Car Rover H11's, I REALLY like them.
I just received the Car Rover 9005's for high beams, installed. The LED "filament", doesn't align perfectly at 3 &9 o'clock do to the prongs on the fixture, but they do seat in tight. Will test this evening and report back.

Says it doesn't fit the ranger but I dont see why it wouldn't. Anyways, anyone ever had luck with this brand? I'd try them out if so, seems like the base is just a tad bit bigger than the stock halogen.

Also if anyone has input on these would be nice. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews

That might just be because the Ranger also has H11's as the low beam in some (like mine)

My low beams are h11 as well, along with hb3 high beams

I've used the bulbs in another vehicle and they're pretty good. No complaints. Other than the cost difference, I see no issue with those.

These I would not use. The led is in the wrong spot and the beam pattern will be way off. Then there is the end on led. The glare will be terrible for oncoming traffic. Have a look at the halogen bulb this would be replacing. The halogen has a black end to cut glare.

I figured it wouldn't be so horrible since the lumens was a bit lower but I replaced it with these in my cart. Beam pattern "might" be better

Sorry I feel like I'm posting way too much. And that I've wasted a bunch of time looking at lights I don't really want to use. but then I had a brilliant idea...or not. I was gonna cut the dust cover and extend it out a bit, then I found these!!! The biggest advantage of this "I think" the fan is on the outside and could dissipate the heat more effectively

The reflector housings have cups to block any forward light from the bulb.

Edit: disregard my comment if you were referring to the fog lamps.

These won't work for low beam as the bulb is not centered with the dust cap.

I was referring to the fog lamps, no worries!

And the search continues...

If you get the Sealights getting an extended dust cover should be unnecessary. The bulbs I used in my Colorado required extended covers to clear the heatsink and that's the only reason I used them for that truck. The car rover bulbs fit under the cover just fine and the are no signs of overheating.
