Good LED high performance headlight replacement
 
Can someone give me a recommendation for higher performance/led/halo headlight replacement for 2011 F250 and 2010 Suburban. I know there are lots out there. Looking for function more than looks. Thanks

My sense is it may be another year or 2 until we get there. Diode Dynamics is who to try

IMHO, https://www.gorecon.com/ has the best direct factory swap out light systems available. Do not go with eBay specials on this purchase.

Also, I'd replace any/all fog lights with a product from http://www.rigidindustries.com/

I have a Rigid LED knock-off from eBay on the gill guard of my Chevy. So far, I'm just as impressed with the product I got from Rigid a few years ago for my Ford.

My Chevy's eBay light bar: $145 (few months ago)
My Ford's Rigid light bar: $800 (several years ago)

What's the lumens of your Ebay special? Been looking for one for my 2006 F250 bumper opening where OE foglights typically lay; however, didn't know where to start. Probably going to get something for the rear bumper as well for loading unloading at night.

This is the exact light I bought for my CheBroLet:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321824775354...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I just searched for the most Wattage I could find the Length I was looking for, and I wanted the adjustable center mounting brackets; not end ears.

I have it relay powered & triggered to my bright lights. It's like aircraft landing lights when I have that thing turned on. I have diodes that keep my low beams and fogs on too when my brights are turned on, and now the LED bar too.

On my Ford, IIRC, I have a 20" Rigid double row bar in the front grill opening. (My truck is a 2000.)
I also have Rigid 2x2 lights under the rear bumper. I have my rear view camera AND my rear facing LEDs hooked up to a switch under the dash so I can turn them on/off at will; not only when transmission is in reverse. I can leave that switch turned on to load at night, AND I can check my coupler/hitch setup at 75mph going down the interstate after a bad bump.

Thank you for the info.!

For the Suburban go to the retrofit source TRS- and get a HID setup. Much brighter... 35 w will knock your socks off.

A friend of mine installed Spyder led & halo combo kit to replace his entire factory lense and parking light on his F250. Fit, finish and look was good. I was looking into the same for my Dodge and will also look at the above TRS.

Go HID or dont even bother.
