Sealight 9006/HB4 is the correct light bulb size for this aftermarket light I tried it in my 2004 ford f150 and they fit perfect

Hey buddy I bought this exact set up from the links you posted...I’m having a hard time figuring out how you installed the h13 led bulbs anyway you can help me out with that?

[@jpulley]

Sorry you're having trouble. The fit checking on Amazon says it fits the 04-08 F150. People in the question and answer section says it fits as well. I do remember being a little metal piece in the housing that made it difficult to push the bulb in so I could quarter turn it. I eventually got it, but I was a pain. I would try the bulb in your oem headlight assembly to make sure they are the right bulbs for your truck. Also try your old bulb in the new housing to make sure it can go in with no problems.

I have that grill on my 2008 f150 and had to change out the lights in it just last night. They only last maybe year or so but the led replacements I bought are super NICE but have been considering putting these kind of headlights on my truck. Probably should buy better lights at same time I buy these headlights? Great vid though man.

[@jpulley]

Yeah, I got some 6000k led bulbs like 3 days later. The one that came with them was so dim I couldn't use them.

[@ooj686]

Wow I didn't realize so many people have the same set up! 🔥🔥 So I'm having the same issue as most of y'all. The LED's I ordered aren't fitting inside that metal circle housing 😤. I know Dro said he used 9006 HB4 LED's. But does anyone know if they fit in the housing ok? Or did y'all have to do some modifications for the new bulbs to fit? If anyone can share the link for the bulbs that'd be Awesome!! Thanks 👍🏼

[@jpulley]

From what people are saying the 9006 HB4 are the correct fit. I used my original led bulbs that were the same as the oem. My bulbs were a little loose and I used some silicon gasket to snug it up. I'll probably order me some 9006 HB4 soon.

[@AAATowDriver]

Can you make a video of your LED headlight choice and the output at night?

[@jpulley]

I'll try to get one up within two days. check back

[@sayo5592]

I wanted to know if changing your bulb to led didn't make your turn signal flicker ( I know its kind of a late comment)

[@orangemanok5800]

Looking good.

[@JSlaysz]

Quick question regarding the led replacement bulbs. Did you have to remove the metal circle piece (under plastic fastener) in order to get the Fahren H13 bulbs in? I have the Torchbeam T2 H13 bulbs and they're very similar of style and they were nowhere close to fitting since that metal circle is too small of an opening. I just ordered a 9006 Fahren bulb and an H1 for the high beam. I installed these headlights about 30 minutes ago.

[@jpulley]

Unfortunately a lot of people have been having issues with replacing the bulb to something else. When I swapped mine to LED I noticed the bulb was a little loose and I just used a piece of silicon to take up the gap and its been fine. I thought it was just a problem with the bulb that I bought. What seems to be the problem is that the OEM bulb that fits this truck does not really fit this housing. It is not clear what bulb really fits it I seen someone else say they were going to put in the 9006 bulb but they never wrote back to say if it worked. Maybe the bulbs that comes with the housings are 9006 I threw mine away before I looked to see if it had any writing on it. I would definitely try the 9006 and if it works could you please comment back so I would know what to tell people who ask the question. I'll probably get me some and make another video just to clear it all up once and for all. thank you.

[@JSlaysz]

@@jpulley Hey J. Thanks for the response. The H1 high beams and 9006 low beams come in Monday night. I'll probably install on Tuesday unless they come in early enough. When i ordered the headlight housing unit off Amazon, it was as you mentioned, being Acanii. I will test out the bulbs and let you know if it goes well, i can attach tags to the bulbs so others can follow along. For the low beams i purchased a light from Fahren. The high beam one is not know by myself, but had good reviews and it's from Honcs US. I'll post more when i test it out. Thanks.

[@CoachDro]

@@JSlaysz how did your 9006 fit?

[@JSlaysz]

@@CoachDro slight correction to my initial post. The fahren bulbs are the H1 bulbs and the Honcs US are the 9006. I love the 9006, but the Fahren bulbs have sat on the back burner for me. There is a hard plastic covering over the high beam spot and I'm (now) trying to figure out how to get the wires through that without destroying the whole thing. Unfortunately, it looks like the plastic cover would have to not be in use to keep it waterproof. I thought about drilling a small hole, but the big majority of the bulb unit would have to be fed through. I will look at another route soon. But again, to answer your question, the Honcs US 9006 bulbs shine bright and are white.

[@travisebland]

How is the housing holding up? Looking to order some of these for my Ram if they are decent quality.

I've been really happy with them. No moisture build up inside the housing or anything.

[@dirtyflipflop]

hey, awesome video. quick question. I'm trying to get these same headlights for my 07 f150, did u have any trouble with the led replacement bulbs you have in the link? no flickering?

[@jpulley]

I've had no flickering with the bulbs I originally went with but I did have some issues with the fit. The bulb was a little lose when I twisted them in. I used a piece of silicon to help take up that gap and I had no problems since. However I installed led replacements on two more of my cars since then and I used sealight brand for both and they have had no issues with fit or anything. So I would actually recommend these by sealight over what I originally had in the description amzn.to/3qpRCKV

@@michaeltartt2450 The bar is not a daytime running light. I read a comment from a guy who open the lights up and rewired them so the bar would be daytime running lights. He said it was not worth it. They are not bright enough to be seen during daylight. Cars that have DRLs are extremely bright so that they can be seen in full daylight. They create a ton of heat and has to dissipate that heat making the lights extremely expensive. My wife's acura headlights run about $2k per headlight for oem replacements.

[@jpulley]

I would get a test light and confirm you are get 12vt power on wires that are coming from your truck. Test the ground wire too. If the test out good. The problem is definitely with the headlights. If they are still new I would send them back if your wiring checks out.
