HID Bulbs

On my wife's 2008 MKX I have upgraded her low beams and fog lights to DDM tuning 55w 5000k kits with the DDM harness.  She has been running that set up for 3 years and we have never had an issue with the high output on the projectors.  The only issue we had was a faulty harness and they replaced it for me with no issues.

Who all makes an LED conversion. So far I've only seen oracles. And it's $200.

I linked one in the other post, heres a link with all kits located in the US on eBay. There are kits with ballasts (last years technology) and kits with integrated systems for simplicity of install (linked earlier in a post on here). Id go through them and just find a seller with good feedback and reviews of their kits, mainly watch out for "amount sold" then read the feedback accordingly.

Do not run 55w hid in the oem halogen housing. You will in time burn the reflector. Even with a really good bulb it will still do it. Just my 2 cents.

I assume you're talking about a reflector housing and not a projector housing.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the difference:

Actually both, I had oem halogen reflectors in my SHO oem. And I had 55w 9006 HID in them. The reflector bowls dimmed over time. Many have reported the same issue. With the shallow halogen bowl this becomes a real issue. The reflector style is just plain wrong to do as you will blind on coming traffic. The F150 is perfect for a retrofit as the Evox-R is a drop in to the housing. That is what I did with mine, now I have a proper HID projector.
