I'm curious whether anyone has installed 9005 GTR Ultra LEDs in the high beams on a 5th generation Explorer -- especially if anyone has used the newer GTR Ultra 3.0 which should provide better fitment than the earlier Ultra 2.0 My Explorer is a 2017 XLT that has factory LEDs in every exterior...

2020 Limited. Got a dreaded "Check Headlamp" error, and sure enough our drivers headlamp is out. Looks like the whole assembly needs to be replaced, and the part alone is $1500. Has anyone had any luck with the much cheaper aftermarket replacements? Whether I go OEM or aftermarket, it looks...

Hello Fellow Explorer Owners! Was wondering if anyone out there has upgraded there halogen bulbs to LED bulbs? If so, any brand you recommend? Any issues you have ran into? I have a 2015 Explorer Sport 3.5 Ecoboost. Thanks!!

First off--for those who know me, know that I'm a FORScan guru/pro between 2021+ F-150s and 2020+ Explorers! Those who don't know me, I'm the guy who created + maintains the official FORScan spreadsheets and have been spending more time on the Explorer side this time. I've noticed on the...

I have a 2014 Limited and am out of ideas for my brake light problem. A few weeks ago we had the water in the assembly of the driver side taillight. The LEDs flickered for a few days but then went completed out. I replaced all bulbs and then replaced the entire driver side assembly. The reverse...

Hi all, so the passenger side low beam stopped working a few days ago, does anyone know how to determine whether its the fuse, LED module or the whole assembly needs to be replace? Thanks in advance!

I recently saw these taillights listed on eBay and decided to give them a try as I doubt anyone will ever make full LED taillight assemblies for second gen explorers. These taillights still use bulbs but the lens makes it look like an LED assembly. Running light: Brake light: Side...

So I recently got a 2017 Police Interceptor Utility, and I’m having a brake light issue. The normal tail lights work, but only the top brake light (above back window) works when I hit the brakes. I’m pretty sure the tail light is also supposed to illuminate but it doesn’t. So my question is...

I have a 2017 ford explorer xlt with 43k miles. Recently lost front blower vents but the back and ceiling vents work on all settings. Any idea what would cause this? where should I begin? also recently lost front passenger side LED low beam and signature drl (but turning and highbeam work.)

I’ve searched high and low to find a thread discussing how to cleanly mount custom rear facing LED light pods but could only find forward mount, so I’ve decided to tackle this project on my own. I’m almost finished, just need to mount and wire, but I’ll post up my progress so far and as I go...

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...

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...

Ive been a long time lurker, and owned my 2016 XLT for about a year now. I work out of the explorer (flying drones) and the night time lighting in the cargo bay and hatch area is abysmal... so I came up with this!

All of a sudden my fobs stopped working I try and program it initiates but no acknowledge horn but can exit programming. Then Message center stuck on tpms error and reset or info keys have no effect Was told my LEDs are the cause and soon as I disconnect problems go away. WTF Has anyone...

I know if I ask about led headlights, people will tell me why not to use them. But has anybody retrofitted the housings to accommodate an LED bulb or is there a housing that works with the first gens.

I’ve seen numerous posts on here asking how to do it. I’ve even asked myself. I scoured Instagram hashtags relating to “SportTrac” and messaging anyone with led pods to replace their factory fog lamps. There weren’t many. Imgur: The magic of the Internet One person kind enough to go out of...

Im planning to repaint. I want to go with a 2 tone. Any suggestions?

DrWrightNew Member I recently purchased a 2018 Explorer XLT and want to change my puddle lights to LEDs but am having a hard time pulling out the puddle light. I've watched many videos on the removal and it seems like the light comes out easily when the clip is released but on mine when I try...

I've been looking for a newish car and finally picked up a 2016 Explorer XLT. In the past I owned an Acura Integra, Chevy Astro Cargo, and Toyota 4Runner. So far I've blacked out the wheels with custom wrap, replaced all of the external lighting with LEDs, added carbon fiber "explorer" letters...

Since we all know that Explorers have very poor yellowish Halogen headlights, I decided to change them and install HID. the thing is I do have my DRL enabled in both of my headlights, and installing HID will require me to disable my DRLs, either with Forscan or by heading to the dealer. so...

Looking to have someone do, or to buy a set of headlights with the LED strip in them like newer model cars. And or halo rings around the projector any help would be appreciated thank you

Has anyone done a conversion to LED headlights on a 2011-15 Explorer? If so, what kit? I have a 2014 Limited and was considering HID conversion, but would rather go LED if they are as good as HID. Also, how does the LED work in the halogen projectors?

Put some led bulbs on think it looks pretty good make a difference too. Headlights and fogs.

For those wanting to replace the rear overhead dome light with a better looking white LED. I can't recall if there is another how-to thread on this, but here you go.. Sorry there aren't more pictures. I didn't think to write this until half way through. You'll need a standard 194/168 type...

I just took delivery of my new 2017 Explorer Sport. I love the look of the headlights, very aggressive looking and the LED strip illumination is stunning. I live in a rural area and the low beam LED headlights output a lot of very white light, work great and do a great job on their own. Add...

I am hoping that out there in Explorer land, there is someone who has successfully installed LED Front Turn signals either with or without resistors that can help me figure out a problem. I installed some high quality LED front turns (3157) and successfully changed the programming to stop the...

been thinking about adding led off lights to my 04 exsplorer but want to get some ides from what others had already done. The first spot i was thinking about was putting 2 3x3in spot lights inside the front grill and finding a way to snake the wires thru the fire wall. Let me know where youve...
