EuroDezigns great turn around - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

thewishkah · 10-21-2004, 04:53 PM

Hey I had a pair of EuroDezigns 9004 6000k bulbs and one of the highbeams blew out so i sent them back under there replacement plan. 6.95 for return shipping and handling they have the best turn around time i have ever seen. It only took 1 week after sending them out to get my new ones back! i am amazed.

i got eurodesign lights... IMO they are worse than stock (cant really compare because i removed the stock lights when i got the car, but i cant see the beam on the floor when im next to another car, stock yellow seems to be brighter), other than the fact that the light output is white.

thewishkah · 10-23-2004, 07:19 PM

Really? I haven't had a problem with mine here is a pic of them from 25 ft during mid- day , I would say thats pretty damn bright not to mention it gives off green light (bulb color green) looks nice with green truck.

Saleen_SR71 · 10-24-2004, 12:42 AM

i dont think mine look that good... ill go out right now and take a picture... one with oem and eurodesign, the other with just euro...

Saleen_SR71 · 10-24-2004, 01:11 AM

well you tell me which looks brighter...

left is OEM and right is EuroDezigns

i had a picture of left and right (one being blocked the other showing), but for some reason i cant see the difference... first OEM second EuroDezign

*edit*
actually whe i did notice, just right now... the EuroDezign light is brighter in the middle, but weaker on the outside... and the OEM light is weak in the middle, but just as bright on the outside (it illuminates both cars as opposed to the E.D. just 1 and a half, but the cars angle could be a factor)

Saleen_SR71 · 10-24-2004, 01:15 AM

oh and is that highbeam or regular?

thewishkah · 10-24-2004, 02:11 PM

regular lights not high beam mine are 6000k and maybe its different cause my headlight is bigger itself? its a 94 x and do your lenses have the yellowish wear on them? cause that could be a factor aswell

ExplorerDMB · 10-24-2004, 04:51 PM

I like mine. I bought mine for just a clearer look. I knew they woulnd't be much brighter, cause the Explorer housings are crappy plastic fog crap. I know Procarparts came out with the new headlights, but I want to possibly custom fab a front face off a new explorer/f150 onto my explorer. We'll see.

I had a set of eurodezigns xenon 9004, I wasn't pleased at all, I almost gave up on Xenon. Then I tried a set of $40.00 Hella Optilux 9004 Xenon bulbs. The difference was amazing. The optilux bulbs were so much whiter and gave off so much more light than the Eurodezigns. The optilux bulbs will always be my choice.

you can't compare brightness in a straight on shot of the lights

take a picture of the beam pattern at night from 25 feet on a white garage door. that is the contol situation i've used before to try to compare

Saleen_SR71 · 10-25-2004, 02:31 AM

yeah i think its the headlight houseing itself, i never liked it... it defracts the light, i want projectors, or ill just custom fabricate something

but serriously i think visability decreased for me with the euro designs... maybe ill clean the lights up to see if there is a difference before and after, there should be...

thewishkah · 10-25-2004, 04:27 PM

tonight i will take a pic with one factory bulb one euro dezign and ill post them up here then just from my truck but u can see the nice beam i got during mid day so we will see at night the comparison
