    1 year update. My lights' UV coating has flaked off but otherwise they are holding up nicely. The lense does have some strange white shadows forming very faintly on the driver side. I expect them to last another couple years but will probably need to be replaced by then. Had I known this going in I would probably have had them clear wrapped in lamenx immediately even before installing them.

    How are the headlights holding up? Any issues with them? Do you recommend buying these?

    • @WintersReviews

      I sold my car about 6 months ago... But up until that point, I had no issues and I do recommend them! I really liked them while I had the car.

    Cause I just bought one VLAND headlight and the plug looks like only can fit for H7 bulbs. But I see the introduction say can install the D2S Xenon bulbs. I just do not know how to make it

    Did you do anything to get the 3 LEDs to turn yellow for turn signal and the single strip to turn white? I bought the same ones on Amazon (I think it was ACANII or something like that, but ended up receiving Spyder Auto). Mine LOOK the exact same, however the 3 daytime LEDs are only white, and the single strip for turn signal is only yellow.

    • @WintersReviews
      @WintersReviews  3 года назад

      Yeah that's interesting. I did not do anything, just installed them out of the box. I think you got the same ones because the way yours are, are actually what I was expecting. The listing on amazon showed the 3 LEDs being the only DRL and the strip as only a turn signal. But to my surprise, when I put them in, it was that way. So I don't know why ours are different

  • @BlazinNSoul
    @BlazinNSoul 3 года назад +1

    Spyder you say as I hope so & not knockoffs. Seen similar ones but not ones that have the white running lights at the top & bottom.
    Along with Amber turn signals at the top and bottom as well sick!! I have the OEM on the 17 Focus SEL.
    Which I think are specific to SEL & maybe Titanium as well. But I'm not sure if they're considered the halogen version? 🤔
    However they do have the running lights at the top but not the bottom. But all the lights I have come across are for non-running light versions strangely.
    Ford may have done this on purpose. But these are definitely The best of both worlds I've been looking for. :)

    • @WintersReviews
      @WintersReviews  3 года назад

      Umm yeah it's kinda weird. The ones I bought showed that they were Ancii brand and only had the bottom DRLs but when I got them, they looked different.

    Hey could you tell me the diameter across of the headlight projector lens? Trying to figure out if I could retrofit it with an HID lens.

    • @WintersReviews
      @WintersReviews  3 года назад

      It's hard to get an exact measurement because I can't get my tape right on it, but I'd say it's about 2.5 inches in diameter!

      @@WintersReviews Interesting. I just bought mine and got them. But when i hold them up to the light and look at the seam on the bottom size of the light where the housing and lens meet there isnt much sealant and i can see light coming though, is that the same for you? (if it isnt too much to ask, could you check?...) I bought some silicon sealant for outdoor use just incase, but if its normal I will leave it be.

      @@WintersReviews its fine, you dont need to hun. I ended up testing them out today, they look fantastic, everything is working properly. The only thing I noticed that worried me a bit was, I always have my lights on auto, and usually when I turn the car off at night and lock it, the lights shut off literally in a few seconds...well...they stayed on for some reason., like...for over a minute and I had to go mess with the switch, turn the car on and off, then lock it again, then they shut off. Might have just been a fluke thing with the car being stupid, and I only tested this function once cuz I LITERALLY did it in the dead of night and I didnt want to keep making noise. I put the stock ones back on for right now until I can get more split loom tubing to protect the rats nest of wires coming off these things.
      Spyder definitely updated the design, another ST youtuber got these a year ago and the DRL was only the 3 slits on the front of the light, now it also includes the "angry" eyebrow which I really like. The projectors are also SO much more bright than the stock Ford Halogens, like MILES ahead. But since they seem to be functioning properly im just gonna go ahead and seal them up. The ebay seller I got them from offered a partial refund if I sent them photos of where the light bleeds through, so thats a win.
      I do appreciate you offering to look at your car for me though, your really sweet
