Spyder Projectors with LEDs?
#22
AZ-HARLEY HIGH beams are non projector and are 10x brighter than lows,but will blind oncoming traffic.
Its one bulb,same output weather it's High or low beam
Low beam = shroud is down,cutoff line is so you dont blind oncoming traffic.
High beam,shroud goes up and will blind oncoming traffic (as will any other high beam)

Uhh nope... it's either a projector or not. If the low beam is a projector that does not mean is a projector... every product differs.
The spyders have a low beam projector... the high beam is NOT a projector it's a reflector style housing.
The 2015+ F150 Spyder housings have separate low and high cavities.
2014 and older trucks would have 1 cavity on a lot of the headlight designs... then where the shroud moves via a solenoid.. but some 2014 and older housings keep the highs/lows separate which is beneficial.

agreed ,,,,keeping hi/lo separate is beneficial.
I have a 2012 and its has the single H-7. at the moment I have the CrystaLux XHP-70 Series LED Headlight Bulbs (H13)in stock housing, and they are better then stock. But since you pointed out the 2 bulbs on the 14 and newer I see they have both for the 09-14's ,the (2 bulbs,H-1) and also the single bulb
I'm getting boarded with my stock headlight housing so I'll have to look into these anzos
Thanks for the info

I have Anzo Projector housings with an H7 bulb.
I currently have Phillips hi output bulbs in the Anzos and light output is washed out and borderline dangerous at high speed.
I'm looking at adding a conversion kit to the Anzo housings,but I am concerned any LED or HID I put into the Projector housings will not throw enough focused light down the road.
I am contemplating switching back to OEM FX4 Halogen housings and adding a LED or HID retrofit.
Any thoughts/reccomendations?

I ended up going with the led bulbs in the spyder projectors. Couldn’t see much at night at first until I adjusted the beam pattern. They were projecting all the light into the trees above instead of the gradual downward angle to the road. Overall I am glad I switched from oem

I wasn't aware the beam pattern could be adjusted??
I just unscrewed the stock Halogen bulbs and replaced with Phillips Ultra White bulbs.
If I can focus the beam that would be a huge improvement!

I recently installed the spyder u bar headlights in my 2011 fx4 and they look incredible...the only thing I didn't like was the cheap halogen bulb they come with, I cut and spliced an h7 LED bulb into the existing wire harness and it made a huge difference...I also paired them with a set of rigid fog lights and the difference between OEM is night and day(pun intended)
