XL Headlight Bulbs
My 95 XL has the old Bronco style headlights. I changed the bulbs when I purchased the bus nearly 11 years ago. I noticed over the weekend that one of them is not working on dim. I am not looking to update the headlights, but does anyone know if there is a direct LED bulb replacement for this? I have not taken it apart yet to see what the bulb number is. I know I saved the packaging, but it is probably in the barn and not with me.
I am in the habit now of taking pictures of things like packaging and part numbers, but not back then. In 2008 I carried a phone, not a picture taking, weather proclaiming, music listening, web surfing, video playing, event documenting, part number saving, texting machine.
One good thing, there is a NAPA about 3 doors down from the church where we are parked this week.
Thanks,
Davy

Wow! Thanks, Tom. I do not even know where to begin looking. I did not know there were so many options. Do you happen to know which Bronco year lights are on the XL? You reckon these are plug and play with what I have now?

Davy I bought LED replacement from either Amazon or Ebay for under $50. Only thing I had to do was cut the plastic ring that holds the bulb in to the socket a little thinner. Go to Amazon look up Led Headlights select the ones that would fit a 1988 Bronco or F150. Once you do this you will think you were driving with candles before.

Davy ,
Bulb Part # is 9007

Or this!
From old to new!
Not cheap but looks great and is so bright it’s hard to believe.

You are correct. These original bulbs are near worthless. I can usually drive with brights and NO one notices. I use my Rigid LED fog lights when possible.
I replaced the bulbs to get back on the road for now, but I will move to LED at some point.
I purchased the bulb before I took it apart and the computer at NAPA said 9004. Once I opened it up, my old bulb was 9007, but the 9004 fit and worked fine so I went with it.
Thank you for your help.

Parliment Coach in Sanford, FL sets them up for Coaches (mostly Country Coach) with that kind of a light housing. It’s a direct replacement as they use your existing housing and fit the lights to it.
