Thanks Matt.

Got mine on order last night after talking to you.

I'm still running 9011/9012s in Ruby Jean.

Wonder if there's any decent alternatives for those, or for 9005/9006 bulbs?

Aliexpress website wouldn't allow me to order the 9007 LEDs. They may be out of them?

Make sure you click on "emitting color" even though there's only one choice - and click on the 9007 socket type before selecting buy now or add to cart.

You may need to refresh the page first.

Just figured I should bump this, as this eBay link no longer carries the LED bulbs featured in this article. I bought a pair a two weeks ago from aliexpress that arrived yesterday, and they are in fact the correct ones.

So these are plug and play or I still have to modify them?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

They still need to be ground down as shown at the bottom of post #1

Got mine yesterday - installing today!

Thanks so much for the great how-to and links to get these!

Quick question:

I have the Comp LTD. harness. Should I remove it and plug these direct into the factory wiring or can I use the Comp. LTD harness?

They don’t draw near as much current so the stock wiring is actually adequate for these, and the output won’t be changed either. You can still use it if you wanted, but I personally was happy to declutter by getting rid of my relay harness with these.

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Thanks Matt. I took a gamble and went ahead and removed the Comp. LTD harness - declutter indeed! Waiting for it to get dark to take a test drive with the new lights.

Finally got my bulb order to take on Aliexpress on 7/5. Normally how long does it take to receive your order. It's been 10 days now.

Thanks,

Glenn

Looks like almost exactly 14 days for both Ron and I, I ordered mine on the 17th of June, got them July 1, Ron ordered his the 1st and got them today the 15th.

does anybody know what size of bulb I should go with from this supplier to but led headlights in my 2005 f150?

It looks like it uses H13s, so these seem to be the equivelant:

You may or may not need to modify those as outlined by the OP in the first post. When you get them compare the placement of the emitters to the filaments of the stock bulbs in relation to the bases, they should be in the exact same spot, and if not modify them to be.

Received my new LEDs - they look great.

I just ordered a set of these as well. This will motivate me to refresh my yellowed housings.

 

[coggonobrien]

order the recommended set for my f150. straight from china eh?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Yup. Mine came in a box wrapped in bubble wrap with Chinese hieroglyphics on it and a sticker label with my address and the tracking info.

Amazingly quick delivery considering how far it came.

Finally got these today. Maybe I'll get them installed this weekend.

 

[coggonobrien]

[coggonobrien]
