Performance Lighting

Aftermarket lighting. Driving lights, fog lights, rock lights, HID, halogen. Make your Ford Explorer light up the night!!
I will be replacing the assemblies due to foggy lenses, and am wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to led, or get halogen housing's and brighter halogen bulbs. If I get led, I do not like the all white euro look. I want a stock look with amber turn signals, and led headlights. Any suggestions?
I’ve seen numerous posts on here asking how to do it. I’ve even asked myself. I scoured Instagram hashtags relating to “SportTrac” and messaging anyone with led pods to replace their factory fog lamps. There weren’t many. Imgur: The magic of the Internet One person kind enough to go out of his way to take pictures of his set up. He says there is no light wobble on bumps. I personally would try to reinforce it a little bit more to prevent the plastic from cracking. I plan to try this myself hopefully very soon. I plan to get an h10 female for the pod to be able to plug directly into the factory harness to utilize the factory fog lamp switch.
Hello Members, to make my Ford Explorer street legal in Germany it is mandatory to have white positioning lights at the front. Unfortunately the Explorer doesn't support these. The previous owner used the side markers and placed them in the front light housing, where they will put out white light. Unfortunately this position was for LED Police flasher and the heat of the bulb melted the housing of the front light. My wife and me decided to use another opportunity and replaced the original Halogen Fog lights in the Bumper with LED Fog lights, including white LED positioning light and LED DRL. My wife made some modifications to the bracket which holds the OEM Fog light and I modified the electrics. I grabbed the “ignition on” signal...
After going with Morimoto hid projectors last year, I wanted my fog lights to match my 5500k headlights in terms of color and output. I thought about led bulbs but couldn’t live with the glare that I’d be causing for other drivers. So I opted for a led fog light assembly with a cutoff. I finally bought some Type S fog lights and got to work figuring out how to mount them. I wanted to use the stock fog light bolt holes but they don’t make adaptors for second gen Explorers, and the new fog lights wouldn’t fit that way as they stick out further than the stock lights. I got lucky because the Type S mounts fit perfectly into the fog light bracket.
I bought the Auxbeam 50" curved LED bar a while back. The brackets that Auxbeam suggests for the 11-16+ Explorer is the Chevy ones which I ordered with it. Today I finally decided to get everything mounted, but there's no way those are the correct brackets for the Explorer, as they simply do not align at all with the shape of the car no matter how I try. Auxbeam has tons of brackets, however, none specifically for the Explorer, and I figure it's more likely a F-150 might fit. But before I waste money on another bracket, does anyone on here have any idea which ones will work? (Here's all of them) Edit: I think the "suggested" brackets might just be a combo deal that I thought meant that it was the suggested brackets, but they're not...
Can't find my test light....... Trying to get a quick answer on my fog light connections. 1996 EB Ex. fog lights. factory 880 bulb replaced with 893 bulb. This is the backside of the driver side bulb after installed. Which pin is the Pos. (+) ? Red or Blue? Passenger side same or opposite?
Hi, guys I just recently bought a 2016 explorer for the family and I’m happy with the headlights but the fog lights are dull halogens any suggestions for aftermarket LEDs that fit directly and won’t get so hot they melt the lenses, there’s so many brands it’s hard to tell which ones will be best, I’m looking for a pretty white in colour but mostly want to just match the headlights. Thanks Dave
