So you've bought a Ford Ranger and you're driving at night and you realise that the headlights are pretty crap and now you want to know how you can fix this? Well don't worry as here at Stedi UK we have you sorted, on many different fronts.
Don't want to read the full article, just click HERE to see the full range of gear we do for your Ford Ranger
1. LED Upgrade Bulbs
Let's face it, the biggest problem with the Ford Ranger is how poor the headlights are, especially for such a big and expensive truck and that's before we even mention the fact that they look like they are from the 90s with that yellow tinge to them. If Ford had just put decent bulbs into the truck then we wouldn't necessarily be having this conversation, unless of course you really do look for the best when it comes to the performance of your lights and being able to see when driving at night.
So to get around this here at Stedi we have created a range of LED bulbs that upgrade your standard halogen bulbs to the newer high powered and whiter style more commonly seen on our roads today. Therefore you are not only getting the upgraded performance of high powered LEDs, but you are also getting the aesthetics boost from the fact they are whiter and much more modern looking.
This kit comes with everything you need to upgrade all the lights on the front of your Ford Ranger, so you've got...
- H15 for the Main Beam
- H11 or HIR2 for the Dipped Beam, just pick which you need, if you're not sure it's as simple as popping out your current bulb and reading the markings.
- W5W for Side Lights
- H8 for Fog Lights, yes even the fog lights, no point in leaving them out!
These are very simple to install and all in it should take you no longer than about 60 minutes from start to finish.
2.LED Lightbar, on the roof.
Ok so let's just say for some reason you're happy enough with the standard bulbs or perhaps you have already upgraded them and you've seen how good it is to drive whilst seeing everything on the road, but now you want MORE. Well, we are here to give you options to fix that.
First up we have the super popular ST4K Double Row LED Lightbar Bundle. This kit comes with everything you need to fit this 42-inch LED lightbar to the roof of your Ford Ranger, efficiently, professionally and most importantly, without any fuss. The ST4K is the probably the best option on the market in this segment, with a 12 Flood + 56 Spot + 12 Flood distribution it pushes a wide beam out a 50° and a 5.8° spot beam all the way to 936 metres. - Now that's market-leading performance!
Included in the ST4K kit comes...
- The 42-inch ST4K Double Row LED Lightbar, with that kickass performance.
- Custom-built Ford Ranger roof bar brackets, very simple to fit and very secure.
- The Ford Ranger piggyback ECU adapter, this added to the included wiring of the ST4K makes this a true plug and play kit. The piggyback simply plugs into the back of your headlight, then connects up to the lightbar itself and then also includes a switch for running into the dashboard for isolating the lightbar and turning it off when you do not need it.
The second option we have for you is the ST3K Slimline LED Lightbar. Again this bundle has been put together to give you everything that you need to get the lightbar fitted. This time around though it is the super slick slimline design of the ST3K, that is for those drivers that don't necessarily want their lightbar sticking up and proud of their Ford Ranger. However, don't let the fact it is a lot thinner make you think it is lacking in power! On the contrary, this 41.5-inch runs 40 of Osram's top of the line OSLON LEDs in 8 Flood + 24 Spot + 8 Flood formation giving and 50° wide beam and 5.8° beam all the way out to 699 metres.
Put together to impress this kit comprises of...
- The 41.5-inch Stedi ST3K Slim LED Lightbar, super sleek, super-powered and super sexy design.
- Custom-built Ford Ranger roof bar brackets, very simple to fit and very secure.
- The Ford Ranger piggyback ECU adapter, this added to the included wiring of the ST3K makes this a true plug and play kit. The piggyback simply plugs into the back of your headlight, then connects up to the lightbar itself and then also includes a switch for running into the dashboard for isolating the lightbar and turning it off when you do not need it.
3. Spot Lights
Ok, so we've upgraded the bulbs, we've added a light bar to the roof and yet we still want, no NEED more light, then there's only 1 more upgrade that's gonna make that happen, Spot Lights. For those of you who aren't aware, these are usually large forward-facing lights that either throw light a long distance, flood the area in front of themselves with large amounts of light or a mixture of both. Here at Stedi UK we have 2 models of LED SpotLights - Type-X Sport and the new Type-X Pro, both of which are here to impress.
First up we've got the Type-X Sports. One of the most affordable LED Spot Lights on the market but with also one of the strongest beams. Over the older generation of our spotlights this has an increase in depth of optics of 35% which increases the intensity and gives an incredible beam that stretches out to 1050metres! Add onto that four built-in wide beam optics that perfectly disperse the light in the nearfield whilst blending beautifully with the spot beam. The Type-X Sports are available in both 7-inch and 8.5-inch. Both sizes are supplied as a pair and now come with the free Black Out Covers to help protect them when you won't be using them. Check them out more - HERE.
After the Type-X Sports we have the Type-X Pros, marketing leading performance in a simply stylish body. Consider these the "Sky's the limit" in design and performance of LED Spotlights. Not only does the Pro look fantastic, but you can change it up to look however you want by changing the coloured rings (FYI both grey and orange rings are included at purchase), add in that the Pros have a wide range of different covers. As cool as that is, the most impressive part of the Pros are their performance, throwing a beam up to 1.155km whilst also delivering a seriously impressive wide beam, see below.
ROUNDUP
