The Difference Our F150 LED Headlights Can Make
by Anthony Williams on June 13, 2020
The Ford F150 has been the best selling truck in America since 1986 and there’s a good reason for that. These are powerful trucks that are built to perform, but their headlights can leave owners wanting more. If you wish you could see a little farther while driving your truck at night, it’s time to upgrade to a pair of Ford F150 LED Headlights. LEDs not only last longer, but they also provide a brighter light that will give your truck a sleek and modern look.
If you are looking for the best F150 LED headlights for your truck, you need to check out Diode Dynamics. Their SL1 LED headlights are manufactured with the latest in LED technology. The Diode Dynamics team has taken a look at the styles of LED headlights on the market and identified several issues that these bulbs have when installed in vehicles with OEM halogen headlights. Their team of in-house engineers then developed a unique solution to these common pitfalls to ensure that their SL1 LED headlight bulbs will work perfectly with your truck.
The secret to ensuring a replacement bulb works just like your stock headlight bulbs is all about LED chip placement. The headlight assembly on your truck features a series of reflectors angled to reflect the light emitted from the filament of a halogen bulb. Because this filament is relatively small, making sure the LED chips from a headlight bulb align with its position is crucial. The team at Diode Dynamics not only ensured that each of their bulbs match the position of a halogen bulb, but the LED chips are also placed on circuit boards that are very thin. This keeps the two LEDs on each side of the bulb close enough together to better imitate the light from the halogen filament so the output will be both brighter and well-focused.
Installing Diode Dynamics SL1 LED headlights on your truck is an easy process. These bulbs are designed for simple plug and play installation that should only take 20 to 30 minutes. On newer F150 models, you can easily access the headlight assembly through the wheel well. Once you have exposed the back of your headlight, simply remove the dust cap, remove the old bulb, install the new bulb, and plug it into your factory connector. Be sure to test your lights before closing everything back up because these connections are polar sensitive and may need to be rotated 180 degrees.
Once you know your new F150 LED headlights are working, you can tuck the drivers inside the headlight assembly and replace your dust caps. Once the installation is complete, your lights should last for over 40,000 hours, meaning they should be the last pair of bulbs you install. They are also covered by the Diode Dynamics worry-free 3-year warranty. If you have any questions about these bulbs or the installation process, you can reach the Diode Dynamics team at 314-205-3033 or [email protected].
