How do I know what kind of headlights I have?
Every headlight is designated with a bulb size. For a bulb installed in your car, you can find the number stamped or printed on the side of the bulb. It’s also listed in the service manual and in an auto bulb guide. Only the correct bulb size will fit in the headlamp housing and connect to the factory wiring.
Can I replace HID with LED?
Yes but only through changing your entire headlight assembly to LED. HID to LED conversion kits are not recommended and do not perform well.
Can I replace halogen headlights with LED?
Swapping out a halogen bulb with a similar LED bulb isn’t straightforward. You can’t exchange one for the other—you’ll need a conversion kit. While LED bulbs last much longer than halogens, you will pay more for them. Additionally, the equipment needed for the conversion can get expensive.

Typically, the low-beam bulb is an H11 while high-beams are 9005 bulbs.
How do I know if I have factory HID headlights?
If you turn on your headlights and it flashes for a second, then over time (about seven to 10 seconds peak performance and tends to be white in color), that tends to be HID. If you turn on your headlights and it’s instantaneous on power and a nice white light, this tends to be factory LED.
Does my car have HID or LED headlights?
If you turn on your headlights and it flashes for a second, then over time (about seven to 10 seconds peak performance and tends to be white in color), that tends to be HID. If you turn on your headlights and it’s instantaneous on power and a nice white light, this tends to be factory LED.
What is the difference between H11 and 9005?
The H11 is a single low beam light, whereas the 9005 is high beam light with a high illumination capability. They also have varying degrees of energy consumption; the 9005 being on the higher side with 65W, and the H11 has a 55W rating. The 9005 to H11 conversion is possible, with minor modifications.
Which headlight bulb is brighter HID or LED?
They are both very bright, providing an excellent source of light at night. However, LEDs are slightly brighter, and do not emit the glare that HID lights might. LED lights use electricity, or a diode to function, and HID lights use xenon gas.
What year did Ford start using LED headlights?
In March 2014, it was announced that the all new 2015 model year F-150 would be the first light duty truck to offer tougher, brighter, more efficient LED headlamps. These segment-first LED headlamps would last five times longer than traditional bulbs and use 63 percent less energy.
