Installing LED headlight bulbs in my 2014 Ford Fusion

- I test some very affordable low and high beam LED replacements in my Fusion. I only paid $25 for all 4 bulbs! Is it worth it? Yes and No. Watch and see

you made this install so much easier thanks man
Great video! Got LEDs put in my '13 Fusion with help from your video. Also changed the fog lights to LEDs while bumper was off! Took about 2 hours but only because I took my time. That's counting going to part store to get new fasteners for the ones that broke 😂😠
Definitely worth the investment. Did this on my 2016 Fusion. Also upgraded the turn signal (the small round bulb next to the high beams), and also the reverse gear tail light. Super easy to change the turn signal bulb while the headlight housing is on the bench. The reverse gear bulb change is super easy- 10 mins max for both of them. Thanks for the vid.
did your light flicker like his when using the blinkers?
That’s what I needed thank you. Didn’t see the two 10mm bolts holding the light up too
Thanks I wanted to know if you needed the can bus decoders for the high beams you answered that question. I installed Leds everywhere else in the car about 6 years ago finally gonna do the high beams.
Also if you use Forscan you can turn on Bambi mode. You can have your high beams and your low beams on at the same time, plus your fog lights if you have those installed. Your lights pretty much become weaponized at that point but you sure can see good when it's super dark out!
I got some LED lights which claims to have Canbus cancellers/decoders. It worked as a charm at my 2013 Ford Fusion. No panel warnings or whatsoever. Also installed the same brand/lights at my 2015 Volvo XC60. XC60 is now complaining about the high beam with panel alerts as I trigger them. Even though you get can bus decoders (mine were built-in) it may or may not work with the model.
Thank you for the video. Do you by chance have a link to a video to solve the flicker with blinker turned on?
Sorry I do not
I have a 14 with a 4, not a 3. 50k after 7 years. Great car. It’s my 14th Ford in 55 years. I am amazed how Ford can take a simple 15 minute job and turn it into a $350.00 service at the dealership. Changing headlamp bulbs has now become a silly money grab. Not to mention the 300.00 Transmission oil change. Hmmm, Toyota Venza. I’ll check the headlamp bulb change first before buying.
you never uploaded a video on how to fix that interruption when using your blinkers.
Did you have an issue with the low beams flickering when the turn signal was on? And then would stop flickering after the signal turned off? I’m having that issue now. I’ve switched sides, swapped the plugs, checked wiring, still does it. Is it just the fact that the normal turn signal bulb is drawing so much power that it cuts the led’s power for a second?
I had to use an HID wiring kit to resolve it
Did this today, really more tedious than hard.
What is one bulb goes out?!
I think I would have to wait until at least 4 bulbs go out :)
I need 2 H11 and 2 H7?
You totally did way more work then needed. No bumper removal method. Just did it myself recently.
What did you do
@@n.scorpion1256I need to change my son's to less, what did you do?
You need led decoders. To stop the flickering.
And for the high beam. And low beam.. there is csp led brighter than cob. And the back part the fan.. way smaller. I'm a led seller for 8 years I got lots of experience selling and installing.
I tried it and it didn't work. I went to a relay harness and it fixed my issue
@@AutoDad check my Facebook.. I just install a kit for same car. And like I said. The quality I sell I dint use decoders. On this. Car. Plus it's white headlights. With demon eye. Check me up on Facebook..
Eddy Led. Look for me.
Maybe go hid in the low beams. I did that with my 19 f150.
That's cool
Thank you for the video! Please let me know what position that you align the low beam led chips (around 10:35 of the video)? Were these chips at 3h and 9h position?
Yes 3 and 9 o'clock
@@AutoDad Thanks and have a great day!
Did you have problems with the radio in your fusion? I have my 14fusion to my daughter and the radio stopped working and the HVAC stoped working
No ours was problem free
hi im pretty sceptic but i dont know the brand im willing to change in my 2015 fusion hybrid but i would pay more instead of taking off the whole bumper again in few months ...let me know if they last long
I literally just did it today in my 2016 using just my hands. No tools. Took 15 minutes
@anthony-qf3ji how? I need to.do this for my son's bulbs. So stupid for made it so difficult
I did mine two weeks after I got my 15
Nothing like the LEDs
Do you have a link for the relay harness you used on this? Thanks in advance. Appreciate all the details in this video.
Sorry thought I posted it

Hey bro how you doing , I have a question I wana change my headlights to led but I’m not shure how many do I need ? Do I need in total 4 lights? Or just 2
2 for low beams and 2 for high beams. No you do not have to do both high and low together
@@AutoDad so I need some for the low and some for the high beam ?
Yes. They are 2 different bulbs
@@AutoDadthanks
After a year how Did this product hold up?
I actually don't have the car anymore but they were fine until while I had it.
Looks Hella photo shopped
Definitely not. Poor camera
This can be done without even having to touch a single tool. Just did it today
There is no way you changed the high beams without removing it. The harness itself makes it almost impossible to complete
@@goose1498 I replaced the head light not the high beam. I literally did it outside of advanced auto lol. I was so proud of my self because there is not one video of it being done with out any tools:) I even took a pic lol
I bought some and the guy who put them in said my led I bought wouldn't fit for some reason
Because they need to be lower profile to fit inside the housing. Go with led high beams with no fan and use hid for the low beams
@@AutoDad which bulb didn't fit with the clip? Because I'm thinking about buying regular bulbs for those the brightest White I can get from autozone
Do led bulbs with no fan or heat sink. It will fit
@@AutoDad okay do you have a link for any at the moment?

You have to disassemble half of a car for change a bulb lamp that is ridiculous, every time I work in my Fusion I miss the old days so badly.
I am with you!
Did you fix the flickering.
I did by running a different relay, but I have decided to run HIDs in the low beams. The LED bulbs in this housing are just no quite enough for me.
@@AutoDad Do you have the link for the HIDs you bought?

What relay did you use to stop flickering? Details please, driving me nutz.
It was a 5 blade from O'Reillys. I don't remember which part number it was. You can try anti flicker plug-ins, but the set I bought did not fix it. A few months later I went to HID
Guess Amazon doesn't sell them no more, so the link is useless
They killed the links on me. I just reposted them
Canbus. Butchered but cheap lol
I fixed it with a relay harness
Hope you keep up your great content. Hope you move to an unbiased platform. UA-cam has gotten to a point that they become to corrupt. I can no longer support what UA-cam has done and I hope you join another platform to keep up with you. THANK!!
Platforms are limited for me. Super busy with my normal job and family life. To be honest I am not sure what you are speaking of
Yeah!! Me neither. No idea.
You do not see better with led. LED does not throw as far as halogen. Halogen are a warm yellow light..lighting the shadow areas. Kinda like yellow shooting glasses ...to open up the shadow area. LED were invented for BACK LIGHTING....TV's...not as projection bulbs. The misconception is that people think they are bright because they are blinding when you look directly at them. Use a light meter and you will the halogen wins every time. But you keep going boy you go.
Sorry to tell you, but you are incorrect. LEDs are far brighter than halogens. Lumens per watt ratio does not even compare.
@@AutoDad Lumens to watt ratios is a farce. Foot candles is how we measured light for 100 plus years. Lumens is a gimmick to get you to switch to LED. As a professional lighting director for film for over 30 years.With over 50 types of lighting.Believe what you will. But facts speak for themselves. Go with the flow as you are. That is always the easy way out. You were saying!!!!!
Times change. Ways of measuring change. Foot candles, who cares. LEDs last longer, use less wattage, and help you see better all while blinding you as an oncoming driver who doesn't believe in change.
@@AutoDad Good luck buddy. Remember that guy running his high beams at you head on would be me. And the guy driving up your ass would be me too. Have a great day and be safe.
Ignorance has blinded youth!
The said the same thing about HE washers that are a failure today...go hug a tree Mr Daddy Green. And remember save those halogens and incandescent bulbs. You will eventually need them.
Your entire statement is nothing but misconception and assumptions. Led's are not all the same construction, lumen output or color temp. The misconception is led's blind people incorrectly aimed lights do that. However everytime a new automotive lighting technology came about it is the same whine. We get it change is scary and every advance is not needed. Halogen was too bright and unsafe then became the norm. Then xenon/halogen was too bright now that is considered normal. You are a textbook example of old school unwilling to adapt. Looking for anything to agree with them why nothing can or should change.
i want to see the car not you
