mgmgrand Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 The 2011 Ford Edge Sport Owners Manual lists the HIR 2 as the headlight bulb for this model. Does anyone know the brand of HIR 2 bulb that Ford has installed in the 2011 Sports? My 2011 Sport headlights aren't very bright. I'd like to replace the current bulbs with something brighter and would love some guidance from other 2011 Sport owners. I found that Philips has a 3rd Generation HIR 2 bulb on the market. Is this an upgrade to what Ford installed or is it the same exact bulb? Thank you all in advance for your advice and shared experiences.

I did some research about Philips 3rd Gen HIR2 bulbs and they seem very good, from what I've read. But I'm concerned about the high/low beams. Does the HIR2 from Philips have a dual filament? Still can't find that out. Didn't want to loose my high beam abilities. I'll keep you posted on my research progress. Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shutter in the headlight assembly opens for high beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking that there was something like that. Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
