Can I replace HID headlamps with standard headlamps

2009 Ford Fusion Fuse Diagram Ricks Free Auto Repair Advice

Which do you have
Low Beams - High Intensity Discharge (HID) OR
Low Beams - Standard ?

The low beam headlamps receive voltage from the headlamp low beam relay located in the underhood fuse block. The BCM controls the relay on the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. Low beam control is determined by a signal on the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit from the multifunction switch. When the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit is open, the BCM grounds the headlamp low beam relay control circuit, illuminating the low beam headlamps. The right and left low beam circuits are independent are fused independently in the underhood fuse block. I suggest you take an have it diagnosed by an ASE certified repair shop that has a scan tool that can communicate with the BCM .

You may have a problem with your headlamp control module (Ballast) , I have seen this before. It is located on headlamp,you will have to remove lamp assy. to replace. Good luck!

The HID bulbs are very easy to change, and can be bought online for much less than from the dealer. Check sites like xenondepot and Ebay for Phillips D2R (for reflector headlamps) HID bulbs and you can replace them yourself.

your owner manual will list the bulb. It is expensive. tascafordparts.com for discount from Ford Dealer
