    How to: Explorer LED Interior swap + Puddle Lamps DIY

    Yeah they are pretty bright, I'm pleased, FYI it's the wife's grocery getter! I drive it maybe once a month. Got a deal on a magna flow exhaust off the forum and some dvd headrests on their way too for the kids then I'm done. Try a baking soda toothpaste, let it dry a little on the headlight and...

    Here is the exact ones, just h13. They are the Philips led's. That's what I always try to use. I've built two LED fixtures for my fish tanks and that's all I try to use is the Philips. They are awesome. More expensive but worth it. This shows how much of an LED ***** I am....

    How to: Explorer LED Interior swap + Puddle Lamps DIY

    Yeah the 6k is the way to go, for me aesthetics as well as visibility at night. Just some quick shots as wifey was backing out for work. Photos really don't do them justice. I'll get some better ones another day.

    How to: Explorer LED Interior swap + Puddle Lamps DIY

    Yeah they are worth it. Wanted DRL but also led fog lights. I always try to keep everything clean and as close to OEM as possible so those fogs with out any modification or adhesive crap, it was a no brainier. Same with those LED headlights, you get what you pay for. What bulb size does the...

    How to: Explorer LED Interior swap + Puddle Lamps DIY

    I've been slammed at work. I'll get you some photos. As for the wiring, I went to the negative terminal of the battery and then into either 91 or 78 of the fuse block in the engine bay. This allowed them to only come on when the engine is on or started and won't run when accessories are powered.

    Dang!! Yeah I know on some vehicles and the older explorers there was a notch that allowed that but the newer ones I think you have to remove the hub assembly and brake, etc.

    Help asap!

    Thanks jmr!!!!! Kinda what I was afraid of. Do you have torque specs for the required bolts to remove/reinstall wheel hub/bearing?

    I'd prefer to replace the stud.

    Help asap!

    I'm more than capable of all mechanical repairs. I'm not asking for lug nut torques or how to install them. I'm asking for torque specs and removal/procedure to replace a wheel stud.

    Help asap!

    No, one of their black spline drive wheel nuts.
  15. G

    Help asap!

    No, don't need a clamp to remove them. I just want to see what the manual says and mainly the torque specs as I am all about using correct specs. I torqued one of the lugs nuts to 100 ft/lbs and snap! When it broke it damaged the threads on the wheel stud.
