Have a 2014 75,000 miles with factory HIDs and they suck. Replaced the fog lights with Beamtech LEDs and they are better and brighter than the headlights. Already replaced the hid bulbs with Diode Dynamics.
I run Beamtech LEDS in other our other trucks and love them. Any ideas. Considering selling the HID housing and getting a new housing to run LEDs. My kid will be driving this truck soon and I want a better headlight.
I've got the same truck and mine are fine. Not sure why your lighting is so bad with two different bulbs.
I'm going to not run LED headlights as long as I can get away with it. There are some modest hills here (much like most of Tennessee) and I'm already sick and tired of looking directly at those focused beams every time I meet a vehicle coming over even the most modest of hills. It I don't want to look at them, I'm sure others don't want to stare at mine.
Gotta be something wrong with the truck or lights, I have oem HID in my truck and they light up the road like daylight compared to halogen.
Op, does your headlights have projectors in them like the pic below? Your buckets may be darker, mine are the chrome version but they'll still have those projectors if they are indeed oem HID. They will also have the F-150 cartouche on them.
I recently went against the advice here an installed Alpharex LED projectors. It was a big mistake, the lights are definitely a drop in quality. The beam was so focused that I had no peripheral vision. The biggest problem the turn signals would hyperflash with a BCM error. When I finally got Alpharex to agree to look at the lights, they kept my lights and money.
So long story but I'm back to factory halogens and out $400, I would avoid LED's.
Just a quick question, did you ever adjust your lights down after you 2 inch level, HID are a smaller beam than an Halogen light and are more susceptible to being out of adjustment.
I don't remember. They had instructions that I followed. It was something with the height of the light and the beam at like 20 feet on a wall. I wasn't able to use the lights long, I was getting a bad ground BCM code.
