TheNewKid Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm looking at upgrading my 2012 Fusion SE to LED's. I'm talking head lights, tail lights, blinkers, interior, the whole deal. Anyone know of any good kits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umm_me Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 You wont be able to LED the head lights, the technology just isnt there yet and the housing was not designed for it. You will have to HID the head lights and I would do the same w/ fogs, you could use LEDs on them if you really wanted to though. There arent really kits out there for this. Plently of LEDs, youll have no trouble getting them individually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there are already cars on the roads coming with factory LED headlights. Also, diodedynamics does offer a kit. Just go to their website....they did my car and that is my car in the pics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stage did you go with? I'm thinking about going with Stage 3 white, but i'm worried it will be extremely bright. Also did you do your whole interior, and was the installation straightforward? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did you do your whole interior, and was the installation straightforward? I have stage 3...perfect for black interior. I did literally everything you can do in LEDs....pretty easy install. Did my entire exterior as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adima Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Sweet, thanks for the info. I have a black interior as well and have tint so it should look sick. After doing the interior, I may do the exterior. Did you to touch the headlights? I love the taillights so those are gonna stay stock for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFSoccer2k6 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I put in switchbacks for the front and put in super sweet and bright red LEDs for the tails and LEDs for the reverse. Overall I am extremely happy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adima Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Where did you get your switchbacks from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFSoccer2k6 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I got everything from Diode Dynamics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusionpursuit Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Everything was plug in play, did not need any tape, all the Diode Dynamics stuff fit in the sockets just right. Just had to squeeze some of the bulb clips to make the hold tighter. I did Stage 2 Blue for all interior/puddle lamps and stage 1 white for the vanity and license plate, the license plate does appear pretty bright even at stage 1 though. have faint glow on the dome light when its off, but that is harmless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umm_me Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 your maps might be faintly glowing too... mine bugged me a little so i had to fix it, a bulb that cancels bulb out codes will prevent the light glow... i replaced the center dome with one of these and my front 2 maps stopped glowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regegade33 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 your maps might be faintly glowing too... mine bugged me a little so i had to fix it, a bulb that cancels bulb out codes will prevent the light glow... i replaced the center dome with one of these and my front 2 maps stopped glowing. How did you stop the glow? You said you replace with "one of these"... TIA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I thought about doing this to my wife's Fusion. I wonder though, wont this cause problems with the LCM? I am worried about the fast flashing blinker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
