u dont have low beam cut off line with that LED bulb, it blinds incoming traffic. i really hope ford could improve their stock headlight. ima gonna try brighter halogen bulb
I personally don’t like these Led Lights mainly because the people coming at me that has them makes me blinded. Not to mention the higher up pickup trucks. It’s a safety issue on the road. Don’t get me wrong I would love them in my 7.3, but I don’t want to blind others.
FixItNick lol hmm...well I might consider them then if I can get them adjusted right. I’m sure there’s a big upgrade in visibility from the 2000’s yellow.
I know exactly what you mean by that but once you install them, park car in a dark street and lower lights little bit and you should be good to go. Sedans will hate you otherwise 😁
I bought these after watching your video. My 2018 ford transit is getting a bulb fault code when I start the van. Lights still seem to work however I am concerned about the fault code.
@@ElMusico825 No. I have read about installing a resistor. Also that ford can reprogram the computer to recognize the LEDS. Haven’t had time to stop by a Ford dealer yet. Lights have been working fine since I installed a few days ago.
Likely need a canbus compatible bulb. My understanding is that they communicate with the ecu and because they don't have the same power draw the computer thinks the bulb is bad
Get resistor packs. The car/truck's computer sees that the LED's aren't drawing as many amps as the halogens did and therefore thinks the bulbs are faulty or have blown. A resistor pack on each bulb wiring will increase the amperage draw and trick the computer into thinking all is well. Cost - $10-$30 for a pair.
Nick take the dust cover off because those led bulbs have a fan to cool them, if is no air flow they will over heat and fail, in my opinion... van looks way better and is a better night visibility 👍👋
@@FixItNickNever remove the cover as dust and moisture will come inside. Second issue with having LED on a stock halogen headlight is in Winter because LED does not produce enough heat to warm up headlights when it snows you will have issue because the snow will stay on the headlights. 55W halogen standard lamps produce enough heat to keep the snow melting. Also you should lower the headlights cause it is obvious they will be all over incoming traffic. I considered bying these but would never use them in Winter especially in regions where it is snowing to much.
Nick- good vid. Dated but usable. Got a 2016. I see the link to the merch no longer viable. What is it you looked for to enable vehicle and bulb compatibility? Did you get any codes on the dash? Two years and still working? If you have a replacement since then I am interested in what you've found/used. Thanks-Doug
It's a stock transit, that never been crashed, so I won't adjust headlights. Light output is awesome in stock configuration, especially comparing to E-350
Error no.1: don't fit 360 degree- chipped LED bulbs - they're crap and spill light everywhere, hence them blinding and pointing way too much light into the opposite carriageway. This causes lots of accidents! The old bulbs had a nice cut-off level but were just a bit old and dull. Error no.2: You shouldn't fit LED bulbs to reflector-type headlights - it's illegal due to them blinding. You can usually get away with fitting them into projector lenses due to their cut-off shutters. Error no.3: They're still set too high, hence them blinding the camera when it's not even at the same level as the lights. Error no 4: You blocked the fan's airflows when you refitted the rubber splash covers. You should cut a 1" hole centrally to the bulb in the cover to help airflow and to avoid the bulb overheating and blowing. ;)
Just installed them and I’m getting the same message. Headlights turn on but every time they do, that message pops up. Any luck getting that resolved, Michael?
FixItNick my work van is the diesel and it has been in the shop more than it’s been on the road. Our two gas transits have had no issues and our 4 diesel ones have been riddled with problems.
@@alexg3855 I have the 2018 150 transit. I have put on alot of mile in 2 years, over 70K now. I have the 3.5. I am thinking the ecoboost would be a better engine but I don't know cuz i haven't driven one. The 3.5 still has good power, gas mileage isn't great. My V8 chev gets better mileage.
@@FixItNick new law for the MOT if the car came with bulbs, it has to have bulbs or it will fail the MOT and not be allowed on the road . I think its because they dazzle and don't through a proper beam as the head light was designed for halogen bulbs
"nothing crazy" - bro, there's no beam pattern. its completely blown out of proportion. the cut off line is completely gone. the best leads are bidirectional... pointing the led chips at 9 o'clock & 3 o'clock position
It has no cutoff line! The beam pattern is so bad, its actually nonexistent. You cant call it a beam pattern, its just a blob. The kind of chinese crap that had 0 r&d put into them, zero engineering thought was put into the firing point, basically it doesnt try to mimic a normal bulb(more expensive leds try that, with limited succes, those have somewhat okay beam pattern and cutoff lines) while yours was hacked together thinking "if it lights up everywhere there should be some light that shines on the road AS WELL. Most goes into the eyes of others, and the rest is just wasted as unusable light. I would take this out, and put it into a trashcan, if you want led, buy OSRAM/SYLVANIA/PHILIPS. All this auxito, auxbeam, are hot crap

i think you should remove the shield because led have fan on top to cool it down
Question, since the led bulb has the fan for cooling when you installed the rubber plug for the dust will it prevent a proper cooling??

I run LED headlights in my F350 leveled and never a single flash at me in the past year, even I’m surprised lol

Yea I agree, but then won’t dust and dirt get in there? Maybe I can make few little holes in dust cover
@@FixItNick so what have you done about this? Did you make holes etc...

Great video nick looks amazing audew makes great products especially computer electronics
You definitely need to adjust them or you're going to blind people. LOL most people who do this are clueless to the fact they have to adjust them .
Yea I drive 60 hours night shifts I see all the stupid lights, I’ll adjust these when I find a flat spot at night
Should have checked the heat off the xenon lights, generally the dust cap needs to stay off
Big Improvement!!
Yes sir
Thank you for the video
Love from Morocco 🇲🇦

great video. Thanks.
The link don't work to go to the head lights
Great upgrade Nick👍🏻 makes a lot of difference even the colour improves matters are they 9k?
Its a 6k , 9k would be to blue, my stock ones are more like 3500
@@FixItNick thanks Nick 👍🏻
You should. Cut the rubber cover. For the l.e.d. fan to breath.
Yea maybe good idea
The rubber cover prevents water from getting into your headlamp assembly.
I get flashed with stock bulbs, hard to imagine how many more people would be upset with these bulbs
Maybe adjust your stock lights down? Why they flashing you haha, I had LED lights in my f350 for. Year now never a single flash at me
It's a stock transit, that never been crashed, so I won't adjust headlights. Light output is awesome in stock configuration, especially comparing to E-350
You probably get flashed by cars with dim ads headlights lol search up what photonic barrier is. This is why cars with led headlights don’t flash you
Are they anti flicker
Yes
Damn awesome!
She will love them in all the rural wedding places she goes to haha

No

Nick, Are you getting an error code "low beam fault" when you switched to the LED's?
Nope
Just installed them and I’m getting the same message. Headlights turn on but every time they do, that message pops up.
Any luck getting that resolved, Michael?
You all need CANBUS led lights
Nick Hello what kind engine in your wife’s Transit
Wanna know what’s good what’s bad
Hi it’s a 3.5L it’s a pretty good engine but if can find a diesel that would be nice
FixItNick it’s eco boost ?

Promo code invalid
Sorry probably stopped already
Promo code is not valid
I’ll get a new code from AUDEW, I’ll email them
New code is same as old code, let me know it works
