This video highlights the simple installation steps of Diode Dynamics SL1 LED Headlight Bulbs for the 2006-2020 Ford Fusion. The optical design of the SL1 perfectly mimics the filament of the Fusion's stock halogen bulb, allowing a clean, even beam pattern that's FAR brighter than stock.
The compact size of the SL1 means these H11-size bulbs are a plug-and-play upgrade for the 2006-2020 Ford Fusion. There is NO modification or splicing needed. Simply remove the factory incandescent bulb, and the SL1 plugs right in!
We proudly manufacture our SL1 LED Headlight Bulbs right here in St. Louis, and back them with a 3-year worry-free warranty.

It’s so the headlights don’t fall out of the car in an accident. I can appreciate the design it’s quite a good idea. My old Focus had 4 bolts for the headlight and could be removed in 2 minutes. I had the headlight out all the time making minor adjustments to it.

I miss the days where you didn’t have to remove the bumper to take the headlights out. My old Focus had 4 bolts on the headlight and took a minute and a half to remove. I like this design better though, in an accident the headlight won’t fly out of the car. When I had a accident in my Focus the headlight was jammed way into the back of the engine bay. The bolts on them things were very delicate.

They should give an option to change it from the front, or leave more room at the light in the back. I honestly think it was designed like this on purpose to force people to go to dealerships, same reason they are still installing halogen. If you think I'm crazy, look it up. It's called "planned obsolescence" and was notorious in the automotive industry for a long time, before Japanese manufacturers entered the market and changed the game.

Now I remember why I hate American cars. The littlest repairs are pain in the Ass to get to. I'm just gonna take my car into the shop

@Steve Vento actually, the UK market got this "update" to the Mondeo about 2-3 YEARS after the US did, so not entirely sure you can call it a European designed car. BTW, in the UK the Mondeo/Fusion is available as a wagon AND a 5 door sedan as well as the more normal 4 door the US gets. It also has an available manual transmission and diesel engines.

@Steve Vento True, but Ford is owned and run by Americans, at least at the corporate level. Someone should be fired, or fix this. This is ridiculous just to change a bulb.

I say Audis are some of the most rust free vehicles on the road. They just continuously leak oil all the time. All over the components they have no rust. So smart....not

I don't know, if I had to spend half a day installing these lights but knew I would be rewarded with more light at night....I have the time, I would do it.
