Headlights Hella or OEM FORD

Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers

I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.

Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.

The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.

Neighbor texted me today that my passenger headlight is out… anyone have a headlight go out on their Mach E yet?

2021, 57,000 miles. VERY happy I didn’t delete the extended light coverage on my ESP from Granger Ford.

One headlight on the Bronco sport is over $1000. That alone is reason enough to have the extended warranty.

I just came across new headlights made by Hella which are look alike VW MK5 versions and installed one to test the beam pattern on my GTI337. It appears that VW MK5 versions are newer one and due to that fact are engineered to put more light on the road. There is no visible cut out in a beam pattern like on OEM versions, but the MK5 look alike seem to be winning on my check list.

I bought the hella retrobrights in classic white. I don't like the modern look of these.

what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.

I'm pretty sure the headlights on our RV are from an F-150. They are the worst e-bay specials and truly are terrible to drive at night.
