We are still bothered by poor headlamps. Lamps can be set to make decent low beams or decent high beams, not both.
It seems the headlamp assemblies in 2005 Inspire coaches are Ford made units. These lamps have no front markings of mfg, certification, date or model. From appearances, CC did use Ford OEM lamps. CC said Ford PN 1L2Z-13008-AB driver side, 1L2Z-13008-AA for passenger side. The Fords I have seen all have marked lamps except 2002 to 2004 Explorers that use the same units. So far I have not found any 2002 to 2004 with different lamps.

Explorer drivers all say lights are fine on Explorer except those that also have or drive Chevrolet trucks. One man driving a new F150 said his lamps are far better than Explorer lamps but his 2001 Silverado lamps are the best he has driven

I have yet to measure voltage to bulbs in operation.
I am hoping someone will find a replacement unit with better beam pattern before I do.

Check the voltage FIRST before anything else. It is common for low voltage to cuse this problem.
