I have a 2013 Ford Edge with halogen headlamps, with projection style lenses, I'm looking to replace the bulbs with LEDs, I'm looking for something good but I'm not looking to break the bank..
Thank you

I have had excellent results with the Fahren Termitor LED bulbs on a few different vehicles. Their optics and construction have been top notch for a moderate price tag. You may need to modify the rubber weather seals or replace them with proper sized new seals designed to allow airflow from the integrated cooling fans.

I was hoping to find 6,000K how do they look at night? More blue or white?

I'm looking for something that's going to last me a while, and that is bright.. I have a problem seeing at night with the halogens..

i would suggest going with name brand led's or a HID xenon kit these lower end led's work but won't give you that real quality without spending the extra money. O'reilly has the phillips led bulbs or NAPA auto.
Thanks again, yes I noticed Sylvania carries a lifetime warranty on theirs..

you're welcome
Be sure to check the lumen ratings for the LED bulbs that you consider. For example, the 9012/HIR2 bulbs are available from 40,000 to 60,000 lumens, depending on the brand and price point. The 6500K Fahren are pure white with no blue tint.

I'm not into LED conversions, but my advice would be to go on YouTube and check out comparison videos for the various brands. Seems there are tons of youtubers evaluating everything in the world these days.

Great idea!! LOL
I'm pretty sure those are fake. 40-60k lumens is a portable sun. I think factory led headlights are only 3-5k lumens. Factory halogen bulbs are 1-2k lumens.
Unless you want to cut and shape an oem set with oem don't do it aftermarket plug n play leds are junk and they flicker. Check out hidplanet forum. Personally I'd go with a hid retrofit which a couple of members on there could do. All oem parts and better cutoff and output than led.
6500k is purple and junk output.
