From what I can gather, your bulb type is a "9003" combo Hi / lo beam bulb...

Takes this kit.

Its the " Bi-Xenon" combo Hi/ Lo bulb kit.

I've been debating on this also...I think the Excursion used 9007 bulbs.
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

I emailed the vendor and learned that you basically find out what bulb you have already and then buy the kit to match. They sent me the details (within 30 mins.) on both the headlight and fog lamp kits I would need. Nice service.

HID

Post by kball1313 »

The lights are definetly a big step up from halogen bulbs. I just wish somebody would build proper conversion lights with lenses so the beam is focused instead of scattered by using them in a halogen housing which directs the light differently. I still have some parts I scavenged from my work as a tech @ BMW. Building projector lenses into Hella H4 7" conversion headlights for my chevelle. These are from an E60 that uses a steel plate with a solenoid that makes a single bulb able to produce hi/low beam patterns that are concentrated and clearly defined. It's a nice feeling being able to see where you're going over 3 digits at night.

Either way, you'll love the swap. People going the other way, won't.
If if doesn't kill you, it hurts like hell.

You won't like me if your lights blind me, I have some off road lights that I switch on every Escalade, BMW, converted chebby pick ups, whatever it is that comes at me with those blue looking unfocused lights everyone of them has these days. I blind the shit of of those folks every night, what I don't like is the halo they give me in my eyes. Plus they are not focused. they blind me at every angle except straight on, so fuck 'em, they get my 100 watt lazer beams through their foreheads. :lol:
