- 2016 Ford F-150 LED Light Bulb Conversion.
I decided to replace my High and Low Beam Headlights with the Sealight Xenower LED Bulbs and so for these LEDs are awesome and wish I would have done it sooner. Here is the link for the exact ones I bought:

Thanks, I bought these exact bulbs and after seeing your I'm excited to get mine in.
Nice, yeah I really like them. I just got some for my tail lights as well and man it’s crazy the difference when backing up. I’m working on that video as we speak, but I love the LEDs so far.
Nice truck and Easy to follow along video. I will be installing these this weekend on my 2017 f150 thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate it and yeah so far I really like them.
@@truckswithty4814 Has anyone been flashing their brights at you indicating they're too bright?
Yes, not all the time but I will say it’s a weekly occurrence for sure.
No flickering at all?
Thanks for the tutorial! Really appreciate it man
Anytime man glad it helped.
Came out looking good. I went with the Sealight low beam kit, Alla LEDs for my fog lights, Auxito for my cargo and reverse bulbs (highly recommend) and Muson for my license plate bulbs. Makes a huge difference. The cargo replacements are crazy and plenty bright. I was going to get a LED strip kit for the under rails for the bed but with just those two bulbs, it lights up my whole bed.
Thanks Man, and thanks for telling me what you went with as well I was just looking at LEDs for the rest of the truck today so I’ll definitely check those out.
I was thinking to go with Sealight low/high beam kit, and also the Alla LEDs for my fog lights.
Do you see any difference in color between Sealight and Alla lights? Thank you
@@AnthonyGrift honestly I can’t speak to the Alla LEDs. I ended up going with the Sealight LEDs for my fog lights as well just to keep everything the same. I hear the Alla are good as well though.
@@AnthonyGrift There is a slight color, VERY slight, difference that I see when I installed them on my truck.
@@freeshavacado3959 Thanks for the quick reply!
👏🏾 that’s a big improvement. Awesome 😎 lights.
Thanks
@@truckswithty4814 did you have problem getting dust cover back on low beams or did it fit correctly ?
@@mrmagic34 for the leds I bought I didn’t have an issue I was able to fit everything in and put the cover back on. I have read where others who bought different leds had issues but I didn’t.
@@truckswithty4814 I have same ones just got them in the mail so was wondering I have heard same thing about other lights only got low beams didnt know that had a kit for both thanks for the quick reply .
@@mrmagic34 no worries anytime man glad to help but yeah they should fit no problem I tucked mine in towards the bottom and laid it kinda flat. Just make sure the dust cover snaps back in correctly and you should be good.
I’ve always enjoyed your videos because you really break it down step by step and I appreciate that. Am planning on upgrading my trucks lights and I will definitely come back to this video for some help! Thanks
Thanks Frank, Appreciate that.
On my '19 f150 I went with Sealight x2 for low and highs. Right side kept going out sometimes so I had to use decoders for them to stay on. When I switch to On and Auto mode no issues now.
I haven’t had any issues so far, did it go out right away?
@@truckswithty4814 it would stay on for a couple of seconds then go off.
I just ordered the headlights and fog lights. Should be here before 10pm... gonna have "fun" installing these, lol
Honestly it wasn’t that bad, if your truck is leveled or lifted I think it’s even easier just turn your wheels out regardless and try and sneak behind and you should be fine. The lights are awesome and have not had any issues so far.
@@truckswithty4814 thank you, I have a 2" level with 10" wide rims
I'll be using your video for guidance when amazon delivers them tonight
@@blakliffyit should be fairly easy then let me know if you have any issues and hope it turns out good👍🏼.
@@truckswithty4814 The lights for some reason on the driver's side stick out farther and the dust cap won't completely seal. It's like the lights are sitting in the housing too far back just on the driver side. I messed with them for like 30 minutes. Left side is just going to be a work in progress for now.
The passenger side was perfect.
All the wires fit in on both sides just fine.
Did you order the Hi and Lo Beam? If you can show me a pic you can send it to my IG same as my UA-cam channel....l’ll try to see if I can get a pic of mine for you too cause mine fit with no issues. Also send me a pic of the lights too.
Taking the wheel off makes this MUCH easier.....
Do the yellow LEDs on your grill interfere with the canbus on your headlights lights. I heard most people splice it into that headlight to get power
Great job on explaining exactly how to do it. Can I ask how you got the wiring stuffed back into the housing? I can't seem to fit it in so I didn't put the dust cover back on, do I absolutely need to put the dust cover back on?
Thanks, so yeah after I installed the LED I stuffed the wiring in and laid it flat along the bottom and it fit no problem. What lights did you go with? Someone had a similar question and no I’m thinking that maybe the wiring on other brands may be thicker. I’ll be honest I didn’t have to fight it much at all either.
@@truckswithty4814 thanks for the quick reply! I went back in there now and forced them in there. The bottom ones fit pretty easy but the top ones were difficult. We have the same lights lol thanks for the video and responses 😄
@@db_1894 nice.....if I remember right I think the tops i pushed it to the side sorry should have mentioned that. I also got the fog light leds and just finished it so now I’m editing that vid they are from Sealight as well.
@@truckswithty4814 yes I installed the fog light ones first, they were a breeze! But I'm done now and it looks great 👍🏼
@@db_1894 awesome yeah I like them so far too. Got a lot stuff I can’t wait to do and video of course but thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Lights still working? Just installed the same setup on my 2016 F-150 having issues out of passenger side low beam. Everything else works great.
Yeah, everything still works. What issue you having with the left side?
They come on as normal then passenger side goes out, cycle switch between auto and on it comes back and then shuts off again.
@@kendrickfarms1987 have you contacted the company yet might be a faulty LED. I don’t remember if it’s side specific or not but maybe try swapping sides and see if you still get the same issue for a test at least.
@@truckswithty4814 switching them around as we speak, I contacted them and they recommended the same thing as a first step. I’ll let you know how it works out. Appreciate your quick response!
Do both low and high fit within the dust covers?
its a hologen lamp you added LED too,does that not blind the oncomers?
I do sometimes get people flashing me but they aren’t that bad actually.
What fog lamp bulbs would match these?
These are the ones I installed, I actually made a video on my channel too if you want to check it out.
SEA LIGHT 9145 H10 LED Fog Light Bulbs.
www.amazon.com/dp/B07W938S5D/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Ford%7C54&Model=F-150%7C666&Year=2016%7C2016&ie=UTF8&newVehicle=1&vehicleId=1&vehicleType=automotive
@@truckswithty4814 Thanks, I did watch the video. I didn't see a shot with the lows/highs and fogs on at the same time. Does the color match pretty well?
@@JasonLefevers I think so, I went with the same brand and color but I’ve only used them a handful times during morning drives and so far I haven’t noticed any color differences.
Did you have problems with the h11 fitment? Can’t seem to get the driver side to fit.
No I didn’t, what I did though was once I connected the light I tucked the connector inside the light on the bottom and it fit in with no issue.
My 16’ f150 throws a code for the passenger low beam led bulb, also sealight branded lights. It’s only that one specific bulb causing the truck to throw the code any idea why?
What’s the code it is giving you?
@@truckswithty4814 I don’t know the code exactly, but I got the local mechanic to scan my truck and the code was for the passenger low beam bulb. Which is odd because the rest all are fine, and the code seems to pop up and disappear. It was on before, went for a short drive 20 mins ago and it disappeared. Got home shut off my truck and turned the ignition on again and bam the code is back
@@truckswithty4814 but on my trucks gauges it was showing the yellow wrench, so I got it scanned right aways and sure enough it’s one of the bulbs confusing my truck
So I’ve been doing some reading and have you double checked all the connections? Also some threads have been saying maybe it’s just a defective LED.
@@truckswithty4814 I’m thinking it’s just a faulty resistor. My truck throws the code on and off, sometimes off sometimes on
I did this. but it was a pain in the ass to get my hands in there. Is your truck lifted or something to make this easier ?
Yes, my truck is lifted but what helped also was I turned the wheel all the way out.
Do the bulbs go up and down or side to side when they are installed ?
Mine are positioned side to side when your looking at them if that’s what you mean
Do other drivers flash at you, I have been thinking about trying a set?
Yes they do not that often but yeah I do get flashed every now and then
would these work on a 2018 stx f150 model??
I think so, have you checked the site? Let me know and I can get you the link if you need it.
Did you get the top dust covers back on?
Yeah I did, I tucked the small box on the side and was able to fit the cover back on. It was kinda a pain but it went back on
Where did you get the aftermarket grille?
To be honest I found it on eBay for about 78 bucks. If you find one cheap enough just email the seller make sure it comes with the letters.
Do you know the difference between these and scoparc?
I don’t sorry.
Happy with these still? Would you buy them again?
Yeah man I love them, I have to drive a few dark roads for work once a week and they really light up the road..I actually just recently installed the fog lights as well and am working on that video currently. Plus they have a decent warranty as of now absolutely would by them again.
@@truckswithty4814 thanks! I wanted to go with diode dynamics but $150 for a set is a tough pill to swallow. Do these lights have a white look or more of a blue look?
What size are your wheels and do you recall the brand of your shirt antenna?
@@nickhawes2523 they have a white look, I didn’t care for the blue look really but that’s just me personally and my tires are 285/70/17s I plan on 35s soon. The antenna is from Amazon here is the link: AntennaMastsRus - 5 Inch Short Rubber Antenna is Compatible with Ford F-150 (2009-2021) www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZYTVEVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_0t9-FbPWTK6KQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@truckswithty4814 @TrucksWithTy
Cool, yeah I don’t care for the blue headlight look either. Diode dynamics are nice, I’m just kinda weighing options. I’d totally do these if they last!
Honestly I bought these cause they had some really good reviews and to be honest they were affordable. I have had them on almost 2 months and at least to date I don’t have anything bad to say about them they have been great.
No flickering at all?
Nope, so far nothing
@@truckswithty4814 Hey brother love the video can't find your video on your fog lights on your channel
@@Jhoodbitez really, is it not there?
Did you change ur fog lights too?
Yes
People are going to learn the hard way about those cheap Chinese lights not being legal.
Put mine in the exact same ones in the video!!!!! Plus the fog lights.
Looked great, waited till dark for test drive - 5 mins later came home parked - got up in morning and took them all out!
I could actually see the people in other cars AND pickups raising their hand to block the light.
Not safe and gonna get you fined.
$100 set from shop -bright n proper beam pattern and OE approved. $30 set off Amazon off road use only! Basically over powered fog lights no pattern and too bright.
Good video on replacement and access👍
Adjust your lights. I got the brights first night then adjusted them down, no problem since. I don’t want to be that guy. I can see better with more light on the road
Man these don't fit my housing, the h11 is to big and hit the top of the housing
What year is your truck?
@@truckswithty4814 its a 16 , the heat sink component is too large , I tried dremeling them down , but I broke the heat sink housing off , now I don't if I should just run them like that or buy a different set
@@jesusmarin95 I tucked mine inside the lamp and i was able to close the bushing, can you take a pic and show me what yours look like? Email is the same as my UA-cam TrucksWithTy@gmail.com
Great lights!!
I have those on my F 150
bright as HELL !!
I get the finger ALL the time .. Hey!!
kill your high beams !!
Then I actually hit em with the high beams and POW
Haha yeah, I like them a lot too I just wish they made them for the reverse lights.
Is that an aftermarket grill or was it stock?
It’s an aftermarket grill I bought
Also, have you had an over heating issues ?
No I haven’t are you?
@@andresmendez3060 are you talking engine wise or with the LEDs?
The LEDs
who the hell has a 5.5 mm socket, i have a huge tool chest filled with just about everything but i dont have a 5.5 ugh!
Hahaha right....Harbor Freight Tools man, I think I went down and bout a small kit that had that socket lol.
