Default Headlight Upgrade ?

Hi guys/gals

I've been looking into upgrading the headlight in my 2010 Sport and I'm confused.

LED. HID,Projector ???? which do you guys recommend for best lighting the road ahead (legally...of course) ?

What have you used and found to work the best for the money and ease of installation ?

I did the HID projector retrofit with Osram bulbs on a 55w system from TRS and I love it. Those lights are as bright as my parents 2017 Ford Explorer20180928_181304.jpg

I personally went the HID projector retrofit from www.TheRetrofitsource.com. Trying to do any 'plug and play' is a bad idea, gives shitty light, annoys all oncoming traffic, and in the US is illegal. Not sure about in Canada. I had a member here do my headlights then I installed them @DrIftKi7Vg. Halos's as well. I since did my fog lights myself, plus halos. The halos are switchback and blink with the signal.


I didn't seem to have one of the fog halo online anywhere but here is the headlight

Check your local laws. In some areas it might or might not be legal. Also check out eric the car guy on YouTube he has some videos on led, hid and stock headlight comparisons. I have led running lights and aftermarket heads lights on my ranger.
