Headlight makeover

[SD Diver]

Added Bi-xenon projectors and a Mondeo-style DRL/turn signal to go with my LED fogs. What do you think?

I really like this, both upgrades, the headlights and fog light.s. Did you do the installs yourself? I have been looking at these, but not sure to get to imstall them.

More info please. It's looks very nice something I could see myself spending money on.

 

Edit

 

Are those the same ones?

Looks very cool! I especially like the new turn signals!

[md13ffhguy]

Yes, I would consider these, too. Love the look and would also like LED DRLs. Request more info, please!

Thanks for the feedback guys! I got the lights from http://www.thelightingfirm.co/fusion-mondeo-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/index.php/topic,1367.0.html

Here's one for the headlight replacement http://2gfusions.com/index.php/topic,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 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!

What are you all doing for the fogs? Just a HID conversion or better halogens? I'm definitely doing these adds but someone created a fog led that includes the turn signal also.

They come to the same as buying the set that SD driver used. My only issue is that the LED strips seem much wider and i don't want it to look unbalanced.
