2013-2014 OEM HID Headlight Upgrade

I haven't seen a thread regarding this, so I figured I'd just share some newly found information.

There has been some discussion on lighting forums and the F150 forums about a new bulb upgrade for the Ford OEM HID's. This bulb upgrade is offered by Philips called the Philips X-TremeVision 42403XVC1. Philips information leaflet: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/4/42403xvc1/42403xvc1_pss_.pdf

Here is a thread that discusses this Philips bulb, although they are comparing D2S bulb size, (the F150 & Raptor housing calls for D3S size) in comparison to other brands.

I've noticed some people complaining that their OEM HID's are not enough... Hopefully this will help.


*Edited post for clarification*

Any idea on pricing or how I go about getting a pair of these ?!

About $200 a pair..

That is the D1S bulb.

Here is the D3S bulb that fits the Raptor's OEM HID Headlight housing.

Your original post says D2S, which one do the F150 lights require?

Are you going to do them?

Requires the D3S size. My OP says D2S because in the link I provided, they are comparing different brands of D2S bulbs.

I don't have the factory OEM HID's, but I've read a lot about them and from what I've gathered is that some people say that they're disappointed with it. So, I just thought this might be a solution for those people.

I wouldn't mind more light output, but don't want to start ******** with things yet. If it's just bulbs, I'll do it, but want someone's first-hand experience first.

I had Morimoto 50W ballasts and their bulbs on my Fusion, WAY more light output than the Raptor. But I'm not going to sink over a grand to have the retrofits done, as I'm happy with them at this point. Sure, it'd be nice to have the LS460 projector, etc. But I'm just not at that point unless @Raptor Retrofit is going to offer me a killer deal for my stock OEM's

Anyone know of a good LED bulb, that will fit these projectors.
