EnergiCCAATS Posted July 21, 2014 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 at 01:46 PM Awesome, did you put in yourself? If so, what site did you purchase from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza80 Posted July 21, 2014 at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 at 05:21 PM Looks really great! What ballast did you go with, and how is the HID function working out? Any flickering or balky start up of the HID part? Did you go with internal mounting of the ballast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Diver Posted July 22, 2014 at 05:28 AM Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 at 05:28 AM Thanks for the feedback guys! I got the lights from http://www.thelighti...eo-edition.html. The install took be about 45 minutes. Once you take the bumper off, the lights are a snap. Here's a good tutorial for bumper removal (relax - its pretty easy) http://2gfusions.com...pic,1367.0.html Here's one for the headlight replacement http://2gfusions.com...pic,4298.0.html As for the led fog lights, I bought these bezels http://www.ebay.com/itm/281335758987?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and these bulbs "http://www.ebay.com/itm/121332408929?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" The headlights were more than I wanted to spend, but the $850 that ford will soon send helped. Mine were 1150 shipped. I basically got the ones linked to above but without the "sequential" feature. The have a number of styles and are often on ebay (with 3 day sales, etc). Hope this helps. Corncobs - no, those are knockoffs. The company that did my headlights starts off with new factory headlights and retrofits from there. Mine are also bi-xenon and came with the bulbs. Bi-xenon uses a single bulb and a rotating shield and covers both high and low beams. My high beam reflector is empty, but being smoked and having the HID ballast, you can't tell. Now for the pitfalls... The instructions for the bezels seem to be for the non hybrid/Energi Fusions. If you go this route, then use fuse 3 (auto wiper) for hot and the grounding post near the fuse box for ground. This will give you true DRLs - on when the car is on, off when turned off. I had ordered my headlights to require external external wiring for the white LED strip, but they sent me the plug-and-play version. So, to get the DRL on, I need to turn on the parking lights. Not a big enough issue for me to want to return them, and I have the added benefit that they illuminate when I remote lock/unlock the car (the led fog bezels do not). Any questions, feel free to ask! 47Minutes and FusionEnergi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ballasts are internal, and the headlight is direct plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatro40 Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:36 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:36 PM Did you have to get an additional retainer ring for the HID bulbs? Or they screw in like the OEM ones. Morimoto is a great choise I had them on my last Mercedes great light output and never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Diver Posted August 4, 2014 at 08:18 PM Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 at 08:18 PM The headlights were strictly plug and play - they have a retaining clip. Eddy Javier Pineda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
