I'm curious for those of you that have upgraded your halogen projectors... Has anyone actually just added the Ford HID kit that comes as an option when you order? Are they significantly better than stock or is it better to go aftermarket. My only thing is playing around with electrical stuff, I wanna make sure I don't burn anything out and keep my factory warranty in place. Right now my 2015 Limited has the halogen projectors and I have to say that the lighting is terrible. On a really dark road you can see them shine better but overall they're awful. My wife actually drove it home in the rain one night and kept saying that the headlights were off. LOL
I do see the kits from The Retro Source and Diode Dynamics. These appear to be plug-n-play kits that take about 1 hr to install. Are they really that good for the mere $150-160 price point? I assume they utilize the factory projector lens. Would a real kit include a new projector lens to go with it? What is the best route to go with this? I don't want to buy a $150 kit and only get a "slight" improvement over what I have now. Grant it, I don't need the absolute best lighting out there that would come on a BMW or Mercedes but I do want to see a nice improvement over stock so I would consider the $150 plug-n-play kits. I thought they actually cost a lot more. Guess they're so common now.
