Hello all -
Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving. I have a favor to ask of any Explorer owners (2015 preferably, but 2011-2015 shouldn't make a difference) with the stock halogen projectors to share pictures of their beam patterns.
I've been noticing on walls, garages and other flat surfaces that the beam on my '15 Sport may be off. The headlights both have that "bowl" light pattern underneath each one, but then the beam is jagged off to the sides of both projectors. The light doesn't stop there, and the beam certainly isn't similar to the one in the manual. I mentioned this to the dealership and they (very reluctantly) said they'd take a look. Supposedly they put my car next to another Explorer of the same model year and the beams were identical. This was strange to me as even if the beam isn't "incorrect", it's evident that the driver's side projector is aimed slightly higher than the passenger's.
Thus, since I don't believe they actually looked at it, I'd like to try and find out for myself and would appreciate if anyone could share pictures of their beam pattern on a wall/garage or any other flat surface for comparison.
Thank you.
