Looking for recommendations on what to buy and what will fit. Anyone using LED'S on their E350?

 

I changed to LEDs off eBay
plug and play
I don't think it's critical as to the manufacturer but it pays to look around

 

I have these on my 2010
I like them. Better than the original ones. Not WOW!, but a little bit better. HID may be brighter, but I like plug and play and the instant light. If I need lot of light I use the LED light bar.

 

do you have the rectangle sealed beam headlights or the flush/composite style on your van?

 

Composites

 

sorry, the "05" confused me... I see now that you have a 2010
FWIW (probably nothing?) I tried the LED bulbs in our 03 compostite housings and was not pleased - the "fluting" on the stock lens just did not work for a nice light pattern with the 9007 LED bulbs - it was a lot of light, just not pointed where I need it.

Good luck with your search for some good light.

 

 

I'm looking for the "Wow!" variety for my '05. I don't find any LED'S with high output that will fit. Maybe I should look for HID?

 

 

I had LED's for close to a year but I like the output of the HID better. When running the HID I would stick with the 35watt ballast.

 

I have looked into the Vantage Optics but from what I remember, they are on the high expensive side.

 

I've got the basic Vantage kit on my 2005. Worth every penny and great customer service.

 

I purchased these when I converted from the sealed beams in my '88 They are substantially better than stock.

The comparison pics below were taken around sunset, so not dark out yet. I did have to adjust the angle of the lights some since the spread pattern of the LEDs is different than the incandescent/halogens. I really like them. They are much brighter than stock and better than my wife's Sienna that is 20 years newer than my van. The K rating on the ad would make you think they would be kind of blue, but they are actually white. Also, the "Watt" rating listed is pretty ridiculous....but they are definilty A LOT brighter than any sealed beams I can get.

They have quite a selection of bulbs on Amazon for not very much. Give a few a try to see what you think before you drop big money on something else. At the very least it will give you a better idea of what exactly you are looking for.

Also, make sure your lenses are crystal clear and clean. That makes a big difference as well.
