High Performance Headlights?

Greetings, I have a 2006 E-350 12 passenger van. I'm looking to upgrade the headlights. Any suggestions?

I sell custom HID Projector retrofit headlights for the 92-07 Ford vans. Shoot me an email to Stredbull18@gmail.com and I will send you the specs/options. Thanks

Scott's improvements are widely thought to be among the better custom assemblies being one-off made for the E-Series. He might link you to another site with several users who've been very happy with his products.

He's a bit bashful, doesn't like to toot his own horn!

Those at first seem to absolutely perfect for any number of reasons--I almost took the plunge myself.

Living in Ohio where snow and ice can be issues the cooler running LED headlights wouldn't work very well; incandescent sealed beam bulbs typically operate at temperatures that prevent or greatly reduce that build up.

That's just me---could be you're in a climate where the LED's would work great

I bought some parts from Scott last year and his delivery is amazing! He talked with me on the phone, text, and email. Expect the best!

HID's are 200% brighter than halogens and will light up the road but you will also blind every driver coming the other way and at night in the rain that might cause a problem, also every person that has to drive in front of you at night will want to pull behind you and stick their high beams up your ,,, .

May i suggest the PIAA Night Tech which is 65/55 watt, White 3600k, DOT legal, direct replacement, very highly rated and $70/pr..

Running the TruckLite LED's in my van and stock HID headlights in my Catera I found out that the LED's do not pack that much ice and snow as the HID's do (and those are even aerodynamical). Never had a problem with LED yet.

Can post the link in your reply for the direct fit LEDs? I need 2 new head light assemblies. I may as well get a decent set and add the LEDs.

I live in the Bay Area. You could essentially drive without head lights here because there is so much light pollution. However, when I camp in the boonies, I need some good light. I have an aftermarket set bought on Ebay that is nearly worthless. The seller refunded me and let me keep them. I added a good set of head lamps and can be seen by other drivers. Put me on a dark road and it's not so good.
