Performance Lighting

I recently noticed that the F-150 Raptors have 3 amber marker or ID lights at the top center of the grill. I thought it looked pretty cool, and found out that it's actually required by law since the vehicle is wider than 80 inches. Anyway, I thought I'd look into doing something similar for my truck. Seems a lot of the regular F-150 guys have been doing this also, so after reading about the lights they used, I decided to buy 4 of these and give it a try: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-accent-lighting/bolt-beam-10mm-led-light/56/ They're already wired up you just need to hook them up to power. Better yet, they fit perfectly inside the openings in my mesh grille, just need to put some little brackets back there to...

Hey guys im looking for a good lightbar and headlights for my explorer and where a good place would be to mount it.

Hey all, we just picked up a 2014 Explorer last week and the first thing I had to do was change out the horrific bulbs in the projectors, what was Ford thinking?!? So after doing a lot of reading on here, which was VERY helpful, I went with LED Light Pro which several members here seemed to really like. Installing was pretty straight forward but when I took the truck for a spin the left side, when looking from the drivers seat, seems considerably brighter than the right side. It didn't see anyone talking about having to adjust anything so I figured I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions. Also what was strange was when plugging the stock plug to the LED's, the little notch on the LED the clicks the plug into place with the factory plug...

Cannot seem to find the answer to this......will it melt wires or the rubber that the heatsink is touching? I cannot get the entire bulb, wiring, and ballast inside the housing so I instead have the rubber covering directly cutout around the fan on the back of the led bulb and have a wire running out with the ballast that touches the heatsink. My concern is on my long road trip coming up that there will be melting and eventually a fire started..... Thank you for any information/feedback on this.

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

I saw some usse the 9005 bulbs instead of 9145 for the driving lights. has anyone don this on a 2006-2008 Explorer? i want to but I am afraid it will melt/burn the enclosure. Thanks!

so i only found two videos on youtube as to how to change the bulb on a 2016 explorer fog light. Now i opened the access port by the tires and realized i dont have a bulb spot like everyone else. is this because mine is built in LED? mine is like this, i checked both ports and neither is for the bulb.

Don't want to cut or drill into the furniture to mount lighting switches, so I had to get creative. Figured I'd share see what you thought. Gained 56 sq " switch mount space.

Ok, got some strobes off eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=36476&item=2442013803 cheap ones, just seeing if I liked having strobes. The wiring from the power box to the light was 24 - 28 guage, I couldn't read it. I extended the wires with about 8 feet of 22 guage wire. Now, the light that I extended wires works fine but the other bulb which I didn't extend doesn't flash all the time. I am wondering if having the wires extended draws too much power, keeping the other bulb from flashing all the time. I would try it again w/out the extension, but I'd rather not cut the wires and reconnect them all over again. Thanks, Patrick

Howdy, Has anybody replaced their Explorer/PIU's headlight bulbs (9005) with LEDs? How did that go? Better or worse than with halogens? Do they flicker, did you need an anti-flicker capacitor? Are they positioned correctly, not too high or too low? If you've done it successfully, which LED bulbs did you use? How're the fans working? Are they too loud? Has anyone had a fan fail relatively quickly? Or should I just stick to proper and expensive halogens? Thanks!

I have projection Halos on my 1995 Explorer sport. (Halogen bulbs) Any idea how to the quad lighting mod??

Straight from China - and worth every penny. I had to have the light tabs on my bumper moved because of the bulk of the bar + brackets. Nevertheless, I am beyond happy with the purchase - came complete with wiring harness. True plug and play. Despite the yellow tint you see in the 'off' pic (where you can see how I moved the brackets from atop the cross bar, to mid-bar), that's probably a reflect from my phone's flash. No yellow/amber when viewed normally. The bar is advertised at 10k lumens, however I have no way to measure. What I can see, however, is subjectively the light could be 10x brighter than my headlamp bulbs, which are likely about 800 lumens. The bumper lights have 85W Hella - amber - in diffused/fog-patter glass...

I have a 2016 XLT and would like to change the original yellow fog lights and replace it with a new LED white Any suggestions?

Hi, I am new to this and there may be a post already. I would like to replace the headlights and tail lights with LED's and was wondering if anyone knows of a good assembly kit. All I am finding is projection head lights and I am not sure if that is what I want. Looking for ideas and opinions. Thanks

My driver side low beam and the led light went out. How to i get this fixed? I'v been told that I have to replace the whole headlight assembly . i'v been told one light is for both. Thanks
