So I just tried reading through all the messages in this thread and noticed a lot of people mentioning fitting issues with the SL1 LED bulbs. I have a 2020 Ranger XLT. Will the SLF LEDs fit into my headlight housings correctly? According to a video I watched by Headlight Revolution they recommend GTR CSP Mini's for low lights and GTR Ultra 2 for high beam. Has anybody had experience with these? Or has DD come up with proper fitments for theirs and I missed it?

They are working on the SL2 LED bulbs that are planned to fit the newer smaller housings, but don't have a set release date yet. Currently no confirmed fitments on the Ranger for Headlight LEDS from Diode Dynamics sadly.

FYI...replaced stock puddle lamps with these from Amazon.
Pics are with mirrors folded in. No lights, stock lights & LED lights. The floor really lights up with the LEDs.

I am in the planning phases of upgrades, I have a local source of makes and sells custom heavy gauge stainless steel powder coated mounts that bolt right on, no drilling. I am going to ask him about his a pillar brackets can a small rock light be mounted on the side or does anyone know if someone sells a puddle light upgrade that not only puts out more light downward does it shine outward to become a rock light if wired separate?

I see a lot of these lights on Amazon. Are the pigtails required? Some seem to be just the snap in light fixture.

Did you need them?
Technically no, but the wiring inside the mirror is very short and installation would have been a nightmare.

Does anyone know when SL2 headlights will be available for the Ranger?

Last I knew Diode Dynamics dropped all of their LED headlight bulbs because they weren't DOT compliant, especially in reflector-style housings. I had SL1's in my F-150 and they actually sent me a letter telling me that I needed to not use them as low beam headlights anymore and offering a refund if I wanted send them back.
