Ford Ranger H11 LED Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb Installation

- ⭐⭐ Having fitted a set of these into my Audi A4 and then found how bad the headlights are on the Ranger Wildtrak, this was an obvious choice.
Horrendously difficult to remove the rear cover off the assembly and then little space to work with to fit the bulb but that is because I didn't take out the full assembly to start off with. Other than the space restriction they are really straight forward to fit (make sure the polarity of the connection is correct or they don't work). But now I have brighter, white headlights, so well worth the effort.

Just fitted them. Huge difference. They also fit and work awesome on the H8 spotlights. Thanks again
Nice video you got there, Clough! DIY vids are such a big help. Hoping to see you to actually assemble and disassemble the component on your next videos. Great job on this. Keep it up!
Just fitted the new fan-less Novasight H11 bulbs from your video on my new Ranger and what a difference. I was lucky as have had previous experience with the covers (spanner, a cloth and constant pressure). Such a great and very necessary modification to the truck! I want to do the H15 high beams next but the ones you have used are out of stock until further notice. Thanks for the video!
Hi Matt, both the H11 and the H15 work fine without upsetting the CABUS system. It's a shame we haven't got the space to put the bigger and brighter H15's in but great that you liked the vid (and the improvement in the lighting) check out my other Video where I've upgraded the T10's in the headlights, now they do make a difference, isn't the white light great 😁👍
Got my low beams LED done on my 16 XLT thanks to your video👍🏻.. Really waiting for a video on the high beams
The high beams are difficult as there is very little space. Saying that I have ordered a set of H15's today and will see if they fit and how bright they are. Hopefully they will be ok and I can do a video.....
Nice DIY video here! I'm just wondering if I put 100watts led headlight will it affect any other electronic parts of the truck? Im just not sure how headlight or electronic parts of cars would affect each other.
Thank you, good job.. Can you show changing DRL with led (H15)?
Nice bright white lights 👌
Should be using HID in projector housings and LED (with some nice light bars) for main beam.
I believe the 9005 bulbs are for the High Beams. H11 is the low beam and fog light bulb
How about interior light and reverse light at the back, need to convert to LED :)
Do you have photos of the beam at night mate?
Great video thanks for sharing. I havent tried to remove mine, is the low beam and fog lights H11? How about the high beam? Thanks.
These are the low beam night headlights. I haven't changed the daytime driving or full beam yet but I will be changing the full beam in the next few week probably. These bulbs completely change the driving at night (from candle power to real light). Have a look at this video to see them in action in mine. th-cam.com/video/O3USxfzpsFU/w-d-xo.html
Hello,
Ive replaced mine halogen H11s in my Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2018 for LED H11(8000LM, 30W, 6500K), but now my car keeps changing from lowbeam to daily/position lights in a matter of kilometers at a nonchanging weather or light conditions.
Does anyone experience similar problems?
Cheers!
Nice! Is there any failure sort like canbus errors or? I was thinking of the “lasfit” brand for H11 n H15... any suggestions on any brand of led bulbs?
No bulb failure and no Canbus error (unlike the ones I've fitted to my 2008 Audi). Can't recommend a brand other than these that I've fitted, link in the review.
With fords, you can get the same exact model of the same year and the other one doesnt require canbus and the other one do. Not sure why that is the case.
Great video, just what i was looking for! Didnt it cause any problem the bulb temperature? I mean like melting the plastics. Thanks!
NO, No problems at all. Had LED's in for the last year and a half now
Great review 🙂👍🏻 . I just picked my wildtrak up y'day and took it to Halfords but they told me you can't get these type of lights for a wildtrak ! Is there a full exterior light kit I can get for it ?
Hi Ali, I haven't found a full kit but this was easy to find on Amazon.
Great review.. Lovely to see you can actually change that bulb DIY style seeing that many auto accessory shops here in South Africa say they can not do that...does changing that specific bulb not effect the computer box settings of the lights by an chance?..
No, no affect to any settings at all. I have something similar in an old Audi A4 and in that it shows that the bulb is not working although it is
Thanks for the resonse, do you recommend any other brand of LED bulb as amazon does not ship the CREE LED to South Africa
Sorry Jadrian, these are all I have used.
Did you notice a massive difference between the halogen to the led? Been considering it for a while. Did you have to modify the caps at all?
Huge difference, and it isn't that the light is necessarily more powerful, it is that the light is bright white, so everything stands out more and is more vivid. The original light on the Ranger are absolutely awful! And no, for the dipped (H11), you dont have to modify the caps at all, however, they are a bitch to get off the first time.....
The original yellow halogen was awful, I had already put LED's into my Audi and replaced a Range Rover with the Ranger and that had Xenons on it so I was used to the white light and missed it
Did you put the caps back on? I can't get the outside ones back on because the bulbs are bigger. Ours is a 2020 North American
Hi Chris, yes, the caps went back on ok
Have you had any issues with oncoming traffic? Just picked up a 16 Ranger and the bulbs are so bad. Looking for an upgrade for the main beam but trying to stay away from anything too blue or anything that will cause a problem to oncoming traffic. Oh and also not get me in trouble with the fuzz :D
I haven't upgraded the main beam, these are for the dipped. They completely change the driving experience (I though my night vision had suddenly disappeared when I first drove the ranger at night.) no issue with oncoming traffic as long as you install correctly. Go for a set of 'cool white' ones like I link into on here, absolutely fantastic!
Nice video, ? for ya, do these H11 CREE LED also serve both low & high beam capability?
If the fitting takes a H11, I presume that they will do whatever that light is. I need to get the CREE LED one for the High beam on this next
Thanks for replying, I was also wondering how the beam pattern is with these LED's you installed in the projector type headlight?
It seems sharper across the top, a more defined cut off but that could just be because they are brighter. Overall though, just so much better to see with at night because of the white light and brighter. I honestly thought there was something wrong with the headlights the first time I turned them on at night having come from a Range Rover. This was one of the first things that I had to do
Nice review
My ranger is XLT and i wanna change to LED too but many people told me that if i change the bulb the low beam wont start only the high beam, is it true?
Hi Rex, this is for the Low Beam lights and it transformed how effective they are. I haven't done the High Beam yet but will do after the summer probably. Once these were fitted, every other light worked fine still though.
Hope that helped?
I put LED in y Ranger XLT 2017 and turn on one minute and then turn OFF help me
Hi there, I have a 2018/2019 model and I want to replace the yellowish light with some white led or xenon lights buy I’ve hear that it may cause some problems with the voltage or something. Any suggestions?
Nope, no issues. Get them bought👍😁
Yes you need anti flicker resistors. if you don’t have them the low beams will flick off then you will have to reset the BCM (Body control module) you can do this at any mechanics abt $30-60 I’m in Australia don’t go to Ford
nice video tutorial. you didn't install canbus ? any flickering or electronic problems?
No, just put the bulbs in and they were fine. No flickering or warnings on the dash. Have tried two manufacturers H11 bulbs, some H15 and some smaller ones (T10's I think) all with no issue on the Ranger
@@CloughReviews thank you
The one question I have. Is having had some LED lamps in my 2013 Ranger it failed the MOT on incorrect light Patton will theses lamps do the same or are they road MOT LEGAL?
I haven't had it MOT'ed yet so can't say for sure, but I know I'm not I ding anybody. At the worst, keep your old halogens and swap them out just for the MOT
That should read 'blinding anybody'
Ford advises you take out the battery or air filter depending on what light you are changing
Just tried to change my bulbs on my new 2018 Wildtrak. Fitted H15 LED's in the high beams and then when I went to change the low beams I found that they aren't H11, they are HIR2 9012. Very odd as in the handbook it says H11 and everywhere I've checked it says they should be H11. Looks like Ford might have changed the fitting on newer Rangers and not even updated the handbook.
Mine's a mid 2017. What were yours like (the HIR2) when working?
@@CloughReviews they're actually really good for standard halogens and have a great distance range. Might be just me being used to the terrible headlights on my old Nissan Pathfinder though, which even though they were factory xenon HID's were useless.
Hiya mate, do you have a link for the main beam H15 cree bulbs please.
Morning, I presume you saw my other vid (th-cam.com/video/50P6zP9yQ5I/w-d-xo.html).
This is the Amazon link for the H15: geni.us/N3AYg, they ran out a couple of days ago though. I'm sure you'll find something similar though just have a good look. Shame about the headlamp housing, such a poor design......
I'd be tempted to try these amzn.to/2DoR7MH. Again, they may not ultimately be as bright on full beam, but the quality of the light is soooooo much better. And they look better during the day as well
😂😂😂 I just had trouble with my headlight caps too as I just wanted to check what bulb they took as I'm looking at upgrading to Led
So I got H15, H11 for the fogs and they work perfect. The H11 for the low beams were a pain to install and they fail. 2 minutes on and one will fail then the other, I turn the switch of/on and it will come back on again just for a few mins. This is the second set I buy with the same low beam problem 😭
Hi Sergio, no idea what the problem is. Mine are still working fine (one stopped after a year but I got another and it's great, even more powerful). This is a 2017 Ranger I fitted mine to.
Buy a canbus error cancellor for h11
@@amielcuya3903 doesnt work
I Got the same problem how did you fix it
Is that led light good for both head light , the round one and the square one two ?!
Thank you very much.
Hi, this is only good for the Low Beam, the High Beam is a H15 th-cam.com/video/KxM0SoYXEMM/w-d-xo.html Hope that is what you meant
Just take the head light out rock on 🤘🏻
That was going to involve far to much effort, I looked at it and thought 'I'll just keep struggling with the cap' 👍
I just received mines today, unfortunately they are slightly different..
All looks the same as yours but the plug pins are too far apart so they don't connect and the 3 pins go hold the bulb in are too big
Hi Paul, if you got them from the link on here, I've just followed it and it looks like that supplier has stopped doing the H11 so it has defaulted to the first type on the page which is a 9005, not much good for you. I have updated the link now though and if it is useful here it is geni.us/HCvgCg I appreciate that it is hassle for you but they are well worth fitting. Anny H11 should do you but this new link is even brighter than my original ones
Any tricks to getting the covers off, mine are so tight and won't budge, busy destroying them with pliers !!!!!
Nick, I thought they screwed off so struggled for ages. They actually only turn a little bit though and then you pop them off. If that makes sense?
@@CloughReviews 🙏🏻 eventually got it off with pliers! Was so tight I nearly broke it 🤦♂️ Thanks for your speedy response!
You did not show how to take the bulb out
have you ever experienced that when you are on automatic mode light one turn off automatically ( only 1 of the 2 lights ) then switch in manual mode and turn on again....and then off...and switch to auto and turn on again.... ?? im goin crazy... this started after i replaced all the lights with LED osram and philips . thanks !
Morning, No, sorry but never had that and I've tried three different manufacturers so far
same with me, i bought a used ranger and first owner already change the original halogen to led bulb build in canbus. some people said if you “DIY/PnP” to led bulb it will effect the BCM. need a professional mechanic to make some wiring. after i change them back to halogen it works normally without turn off itself.
Did the back headlight covers fitted ok with the bulbs sticking out?
Yep, but I've put some more powerful Auxito ones in now and they are even smaller.
th-cam.com/video/nYAHliwBygA/w-d-xo.html
@@CloughReviews thanks for reply,with them being lot more powerful now did you have anyone flashing you to change lights? planning trip to Europe in December and dont want to be blinding people on the other side of the road also do you know if they can be switched to rhd traffic?i recently got out of Mercedes vito with inteligent led headlights and im in 19reg ranger now and its like somebody turned the lights off 😂they are shite 🤦🏼♂️
Is there any problem if the "led bulb with fan" like yours closed by the dust cap? How about the heat? Will the bulb last? Please review H15 bulb as well. Nice review by the way. Cheers.
K Anwar good point, they have been used quite a bit at night now with no failure (there us still space at the back where the fan is with the cap on). I had the same issue with the LED bulbs with fan in my Audi A4 butbagain, been using those for nearly two years with no issue. And yes I need to change the other bulbs 😁
Thanks for the feedback, so its not the heat issue then, its my chinese LED bulb that's not good, already change twice using Nighteyes & S&D brand each of them not last more than 3 months...both of them are burn now, will wait the DRL (H15) update.
@@STINGX84 great infor there, i was just about to click "confirm and pay" for the Nighteyes brand, not anymore thanks to you K Anwar. and thanks again Clough Re for this video, very helpful
Cool!
How did you remove the cap it is rock solid
Cheers
It doesn't screw full off, more of a fraction of a turn then you pop it off. It has a rubber o ring to waterproof it which make it difficult to turn with the friction. Hope that helps
Clough Reviews not really 😂😂 I can’t even budge it might have to get the hammer out
Thanks for your time and great video I will keep trying 👍
How are these bulbs holding up? Any problems to date?
One went after about 9 months so I took the opportunity to upgrade in brightness and bought some Novsight ones (geni.us/21R5Ke). These have been great, with a sharper cut off line as well and still going strong for over a year probably
I got tiny brain so this kinda confused the living bugger out of me. I got the Ford Endeavor same headlights as your Ranger. I didn't know I need two h11 and h15 for High+DRL and low. Thanks for this video mate!
Where did you purchase the LED light lightbulbs from?
I've upgraded them again since, even happier. This is the link to my vid and the bulb links are below it. You can get them from the Auxito website with the discount code I've put on there, or from amazon and Ive put the ink on for both, very bright, white light with a good cut off 👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/6FenzJOwQCI/w-d-xo.html
No problem with thre can bus system?
Nope, fitted them, turned them on an hey presto great light. Also did the H15 driving lights and some interior ones.
Did you get any error codes after?
No, none at all. Worked perfectly straight out of the box
You show us the easy part how do you get the new bulb to go in
The easy bit was getting the bulb in, the impossible bit was getting the cap off 😁
How to remove the cover of the light?
It's in the video. It doesn't screw all the way off. You have to marry the lugs up then pull off.....
Wish you had before and after
The after is the other link but the before was like somebody had lit 3 candles in each headlight 😁
That’s Ford for ya chap lol
Hi all I created a tool to extract the bulb covers. Used a pies of steel plate 70mm x 40mm x 5mm. Welded a 19mm Nitin centre of plate and then welded two stub s 10mm dowels on the other face.
Place over the cap, attach 19mm socket and wrench and a tweak counter clockwise and off they pop.
Prior to making the tool I spent over an hour trying to twist them off! What an appalling design!!!
Debe ser led sin cooler
You can take out the Batt. Lol,not a lot of work,lol
Trust me, it was a lot more work than I wanted to be doing.....
That is not working because of the cover of your headlight is not a rubber
I don’t even hear the fun nice
This is like the worst advise ever. Anyone that knows something about lights wont do this!
You obviously don't have a Ranger Bernie , or don't drive it in the dark if you have.....
@@CloughReviews lol , Obviously? I do and do drive at dark. I am obsessed with lights. Thats why I know , and anyone interested in headlights , that PnP LEDs does not work.
Perhaps if you se a complete retrofit, you wil realise that.
I am all for DIY vidoes mate , dont get me wrong. But showing people how to blind other people, thats what I dont like
I get that, but, I did a check on these after fitting, the cut off is pretty defined and although the spread is different to the tungsten (slightly), you don't get a scatter. The beam is still down and not into oncoming traffic. Never been flashed once. I am able to see though, which is so much more than with the factory fitted halogens. You have quite a bit of adjustment on these fortunately. Maybe I should have said in the video to check though 👍
