After the pucker factor hitting a bump on the freeway on a corner, rear end hopped! I installed Bilstein 5100’s in the rear on my new to me F150.
Also installed LED bulbs on the low beams, pic shows the drivers side complete only. We’ll see how they work at night, but they look good during the day! I did some research and went with not the cheapest, diode dynamics bulbs. They have a 3 year warranty and seam very well built. LED Lights

Reason: Update
We went with the perfectfit bulbs from HeadlightRevolution. They are 2500 lumens (brighter than the SL1 from DiodeDynamics), and they need no fans. They pretty much fit into the same space as the stock halogen bulbs, but only burn 16 watts. So they are about 1/3 the power requirement of halogens. Very bright, and you can also adjust the rotation of the bulb to match the reflectors in the housing (we didn't need to do this because they were perfect out of the box).

Thanks for the your support! Definitely keep us posted on what you think after you've gotten to drive around with them for a bit.
Bought a pair of diode dynamics low beam led headlights 3.5 years ago for my 2015 F150 for $200 bucks and do not recommend them.
I went with them since they were a sponsor of this website and drank their coolaid on quality. Not so much. I had my first bulb failure about 1-2 year in and they swapped it out. PITA to swap bulbs on these trucks but oh well, probably a 1 off and i’ll be good. Nope, that same bulb i swapped out went dim on me like the last one 2 years later and now they won’t swap it out.
i would think these bulbs should last longer for that amount of money and they would back their warranty of 3 years on a replacement that’s less than 3 years old, pretty disappointed.

Do not buy.
Hey there!
I am sorry to hear about this. Are you within the 3-year warranty period for a replacement?
This issue has been reported by many Ford F-150 owners for a range of LED headlight replacement bulbs, not just the Diode Dynamics SL1.
The F-150 often has an electrical issue that is commonly seen dimming LED plug-and-play bulbs and then essentially killing their lifespan. However, this isn't the case for every owner but many truck owners have reported this.
Please go ahead and give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at contact@diodedynamics.com, and our service team would be happy to help you if you're within the 3-year warranty period for our SL1 bulbs.
