    My Sport with HID 8000K's

    Here is a picture of the passenger side ballast: Here is the picture of the driver side ballast. I used a ziptie in one of the screw holes and ziptied it to the clip on that black wire by the ballast. Hope this makes sense. In the picture the back of the ballast is towards the front of the car.

    Trade in advice

    I agree once you get in a Sport you won't want to get back in yours. However, I traded my 2011 Explorer XLT in for the Sport and they gave me more than I even owed on my loan which made it easier to make that jump! It depends on your dealer. I was told when I bought the ESP package that it would...

    Seat is cracking

    The seats in my 2011 F350 started to do the exact same thing after a couple months of me owning it. I took it into my dealership and they sent a picture to Ford and they replaced my seat. A few months later my passenger seat started to do the exact same thing and they replaced it as well.

    HID Fog Install Questions

    Winter or Summer Wheels/Tires Storage!!

    I got this idea from a person on the Audi Forum! We have had ours on the wall for 3 months and it holds up just fine! DO NOT use the mounting screws that the flipup tool holder provide. The bolts should be just long enough to tighten down the bracket and the width of a standard 2"x6" or...

    Aftermarket wheels

    These are the rims that were on my 2011 Explorer XLT. I think we are going to put them on our 2013 Explorer Sport for our Summer wheels. There they are mounted on our garage wall to get them off of the floor so they aren't taking up space! They are missing the center caps in this image.
