- 1992 XL Ex-Police
Ok, this is for First Gen.(91-94) Explorers, but might be very similar info for Second Gens.
In My 92 XL, I had always hated the fact that I did not have maplights at all, or the special Dual visors that lit up. I noticed some XLT's and Sports had both, but usually had one or the other unless a high end model.
So, one day when browsing the auto wrecker, I found a 93 XLT that had a matching beige interior.
I bought the (among a few other things) Dual visors, and the Dome light that contained the Dual map lights. I knew I would have to do some wiring, but to me that is fun, not trouble.
The important part? I GOT ALL WIRING HARNESS' STILL ATTACHED TO THE PARTS
So, One rainy day, I tackled both together at the same time. It is a good thing I did that, as they are connected in a way(My way ).
So, first things first, I removed the dome light by taking off the cover and removing thre screws that held it up there. One screw goes into the power wire.
In the bottom (Modified) pic, the 4 stock screw holes are visible.the two outside ones are for my old base model light, and the two middle ones are for the high series light. The weird shaped hole is for the high series harness, and the rectangluar hole is where a pin goes to line up either dome light.
