The 05 up uses the H13 which is quite possibly the stupidest design for a bulb ever foisted on the public. The terminals are so small that they overheat, even at stock wattages, and melt the plastic housing of the connectors. Higher than stock wattage bulbs are offered, but not recommended. There are Chinese connectors that are being used to make these kits and no harness will fix the problem of to small of terminals. As of now no USA made plugs are made that I have seen and wouldn't solve the problem anyway.
You have the best headlight housings made now '02-04 and the addition of our USA made harness and a set of Hella 80/100w 4k kelvin bulbs will give you fantastic lighting.
You can also do a fog bulb upgrade..75% as bright as Hids and mod the switch to use them with your high beams.
:whs: I agree 100% with this!!! I have clear lenses and 80/100watt HELLA's with a relay harness in my X and do not want anymore from 'headlights'. Since the factory optics are retained, these lights do not annoy oncoming drivers the way most HID's do. We put this set-up side-by-side with a set of retro hids in the same lenses and it literally blows them away without the annoying glare to other drivers. Relay harness about $75 and bulbs well under $20/pr.
My F350 has '05-'07 headlights and Electrosport
true dual-beam HID's (4 bulbs and 4 ballasts - no longer available??). These are amazing lites (also 4200 kelvin), but the Hella's provide almost as much usable light in low-beam and cost about 5% as much! :thumbup:
Besides, I kinda miss that instant recognition that it was my 7.3 that just outpulled that cummins up a grade with a trailer behind me!!
No, I can't beat a hopped up 6bt - but I guarantee I've sent a few of them out for some hopping up... :flipa:
