    different light source - metal halide and others...

    Sounds good, but i wasn't planning on having those as fog lights, but rather as much better illustrators than the stock headlights - and the closer, IMO, to white they are, the better! I hate that yellowish color a lot of lights have from a low(er) color temp. This bulb is one of the ones I...

    Add-a-Leaf Install: Step By Step "How-to"

    add a leaf EXP13120 I was just curious - on 4wheelparts.com, you have to select your year, make, model, and drivetrain - Point is, according to that website, the leafs for my 1998 explorer sport (which is 4wd), does not exsist - unless its 2wd, in which case its $123.99, NOT the $34.99 quoted...
