2013–2014 Ford F-150 D3S HID Headlight Bulbs – 6000K & 8000K, 3300LM, OEM Replacement (PAIR)

Underground Lighting offers an array of great HID Xenon bulbs to choose from, including our D3S 5000K Extreme White Xenon HID Headlight Bulbs Set. The Extreme White model

LED D3S bulbs are a downgrade from HID Xenon bulbs in projector headlights. They cannot project light as far as HID bulbs because LEDs produce a wider beam pattern, while HIDs create the focused beam that projector headlights need for efficient light reflection.

Replacing D3S HID xenon bulbs with LED alternatives in projector headlights will significantly reduce visibility beyond 30 feet, whereas HID bulbs maintain superior illumination for at least 100 feet.

Yes, HID headlights use Xenon Gas, unlike traditional Halogen bulbs. HID headlights are popular because of their unmatched brightness and durability. With HID Xenon bulbs, the Xenon Gas passes over an electrical charge, which gives these innovative bulbs the ability to burn much more brightly than factory-standard filament glowing bulbs.

No, you can't, as there is a difference between HID and LED conversion kits. If the vehicle comes with factory HIDs, you cannot convert to LED without heavy modifications, and the visibility with LED will be worse than the HID. If you're unsure what you need or how to install HID headlight bulbs, contact one of our representatives today. 

The optimal color temperature depends on your preference. 4300K provides a bright white light ideal for visibility, while 6000K gives a cooler white appearance. 8000K offers a white with blue tint for a more stylish look.

While LED bulbs can physically fit in HID housings, we don't recommend this modification. HID housings are specifically engineered for the unique light projection of HID bulbs, and installing LEDs will actually result in reduced performance.

Even standard halogen bulbs typically outperform LEDs when installed in HID housings due to the specialized reflector design. We recommend sticking with quality HID replacement bulbs that match your housing's specifications for optimal visibility and safety. Need help finding the right HID bulbs for your vehicle?

Yes, HID lights require a ballast to function correctly. The ballast creates the correct voltage to ignite your HID bulbs and maintains proper electrical current during operation. Without a ballast, HID bulbs will either fail to light, produce inconsistent output, or burn out prematurely.

A quality HID lighting ballast typically lasts between 5-7 years under normal driving conditions. However, factors like extreme temperatures, moisture exposure, and electrical system variations can affect its lifespan. Regular maintenance and proper installation will help provide maximum durability and performance.

Headlights Not Working

If you notice your headlights are not working properly, you should conduct a thorough system check. If there are no signs of loose or damaged parts and the bulbs have working filaments, then it might mean the ballast needs repair.

Dimming or Flickering

If your headlights are not as bright as usual or flash on and off, it might mean something is wrong with the ballast. When a ballast is not working well, it might have difficulty stabilizing the current.

Changing Light Colors

If the brightness or hues of the headlights are inconsistent, this might mean the ballast has different voltage surges. If not changed as soon as possible, this will damage the bulbs.

Strange Sounds

If you hear humming or buzzing noises in the bulbs, even when they’re off, it means your ballast is not working properly. The ballast is continuously working when it should not be and will damage the system if left alone.

Blown Fuse

If you have been replacing your headlight bulbs more than usual, this may be the cause of a faulty ballast. If your bulbs are getting high voltage, it can cause the fuse to isolate.

Yes, Xenon HID replacements provide superior performance compared to halogen bulbs. They produce up to three times more light output while consuming less power. HID's white light more closely resembles natural daylight, reducing eye strain and improving depth perception. The focused beam pattern also provides better side coverage and longer distance visibility.

Quality HID light bulbs typically last between 2,000 and 3,000 hours of use under normal driving conditions. That's roughly 2-3 years of regular driving - significantly outlasting traditional bulbs. To maximize lifespan, avoid frequent short trips since the start-up cycle causes the most wear on HID bulbs.
