Dominatron2212 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Are there any near white bright non-HID headlight replacements out there that are worth the money? Looking for a bit better projection than what I have now. Edited November 23, 2014 by Dominatron2212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 You could try the LED bulbs available out there, 20W/side, 2200+ lumen (advertised) per bulb. Plug 'n play. 6000K though, so somewhat above the pure white range. Around 4K color range, there is the incandescent Osram NightBreaker series.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Name brand (vLEDs) pre-order only at this time: http://www.vleds.com/headlights/lmz-ultra.html EBay (TXT LED lighting): http://www.ebay.com/itm/221424968550 I am currently using the TXT lights, I think they may be a better fit for projectors (like you have) though. Still working on them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I dont think those will fit.. I was seeing I need HIR2/9012.. any thoughts there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I believe a 9006 bulb will fit fine in a 9012 socket without any trimming (9012 base has to be trimmed to fit into 9006 however). So look for 9006 LED bulbs that you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Can anyone else confirm this? As much as I'd like to blindly trust... I'm having a hard time confirming. Also.. does anyone have experience with changing bulbs? Are these simply twist and change? Or will pieces have to be removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Dominatron: I am currently running a HID kit with 9006 bulbs and they fit with no issues. Some folks report having to trim one of the tabs in order to get it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Dominatron: you consider trying Sylvania's SilverStar Ultra Halogens? They market them as being "whitest and brightest headlight currently available". I had SilverStar's in my last car and really liked them. Were four years old when I traded, but I didn't do a lot of night driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Faldik Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 enigma-2 Ive been looking for Sylvania SilverStar Ultra Halogens for my 2014 Edge Sport for 3 months.... They don't show as available as far as I can determine Do you have a model number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Sure you don't have HID on the Sport? Halogens are listed in the OM as HIR2 or 9012. The Silverstar Ultras are listed only for: 9003/H4, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, H7, H11, H13/9008 Edited December 13, 2014 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I think you're right, the Silverstar does not fit your 14 Edge. I plugged in your car on Amazon and got these results: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=au_pf_dp_lf_ladp_1_3?_encoding=UTF8&i=automotive&node=15730151&vehicle=2014-54-5858------------3 Dennis Edited December 13, 2014 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I think the real upgrade would be a 9006 HID kit based on this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13037-headlights-2013-sport/ From what I have read, HIR2 bulbs give you about 1800 or so lumens, while these "brigher" replacement halogens are not much better, at or under 2000 for sure. Still you could give the SS Ultra 9006 a go if you like.
