My son fitted the STEDI brand to my dual cab.
I have nothing but praise for them so far. |

I've often wondered if you fit LED's to a vehicle never originally fitted with them does the reflectors within the headlight make any difference?
@ Lg17, Just looked up your referral to Stedi and there's a page dedicated to SZII Territory https://www.stedi.com.au/upgrades/fo...ls-sz-mk2/2015 |

Neither do half the parts fitted to everyone's car here. Engine, exhaust, noise etc
Further to that, there are no Australian design rules to approve aftermarket led lights against. All the legislation says if replacing a bulb, then it must have a filament. Any half decent led upgrade has a beam cutoff at least, such as stedi/Narva etc.

As I understand the situation the car maybe issued with a defect notice. I last one I recall was from a Territory owner who was going to go back to standard lights. |

In that case I won't worry bout it. I might as well strip the tint off my windows tomorrow, and stick the factory exhaust back on. Oh and the intake amongst other things.

I believe there are kits which are designed for Falcons now which are ready to install, but the generic kit I got didn't come with any adapters required for the install. They're only a few dollars from Aliexpress though, you've just got to take a few measurements to make sure you get the right ones. I, unfortunately, did not get those measurements right and had to bend the tabs a little bit to get them to fit. They're in now, have been in for a while now, and so far I think they're great. They were really easy to adjust for height and angle, so they're not blinding. Only issue with the install is getting my hands in there. Ford do not want you changing these bulbs, apparently. The dust boots also couldn't go back on because of the size of the heatsink, and then the canbus/ballast thing has to be tucked away too. Overall though, I would totally recommend it and I might have to look into doing the other bulbs now too. |

I’d be fairly confident that any negative interactions with police over headlight globes, started off with the person attracting attention for something else.
That aside, I don’t think the better LED globes are that cheap. Stedi are definitely not budget items. These guys gave me the hard sell recently when buying new headlights, including a self made demo vid. Unfortunately I didn’t need globes, else I might have given them a crack. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125937697807 |

Non-standard/defected vehicle stickers for car modifications are pretty rare here, and usually reserved for those driving about with cracked windscreens. |

I bought Narva Gen II LED headlight replacement bulbs for our cars from Repco for $90 each a few weeks ago, they’ve been brilliant. Not sure on the longevity but the reviews I read on these and 1st Gen have been positive.

Looks like the Stedi kits come with the adapters that you need anyway, so would probably save you some headache there.
