LED and Halogen headlight wiring harness Interchangeable?


Recommended Posts

My daughter has a 2017 Fusion SE with LED headlights.  She rear-ended someone and now I'm replacing all front-end components, including LED headlights.  Ford wants $1500 per side for new LED headlight assembly.  I bought a front-end clip from a salvage yard that has good halogen headlights and assemblies.  The wiring harness plug appears to be identical.  Are the halogen and LED headlights interchangeable as far as the wiring is concerned?

(3) wrecked LED headlights (comes from Ford as full assembly; can't just put old LED bulbs in headlight assembly)

(4) salvage Halogen headlights

I can't seem to find a 2017+ wiring diagram for halogen headlights, just the LEDs. Since 2017 was first year for LED Signature Lighting, I doubt an early wiring diagram would help.

 

You can go to bbbind.com and find the wiring diagrams (you need to sign up, for free) and see if you can find them there.
