I am upgrading the lighting a bit on my 2000 XLT.
According to the 2nd to last question in the first post of the LIGHTING FAQ's & ANSWERS !!!!! thread, PIAA 510 driving lamps should fit in the stock 2000 XLT foglight locations.
However, I only want to do this installation if the following criteria can be met:
1) Lamps get sufficient wattage.
2) Stock foglight switch still controls foglights.
3) Foglights stay on with stock foglight switch, regardless of low/high-beam selection.
It looks like the answer to my number 1 and 2 is spelled out in Method 2 of the first Answer in the LIGHTING FAQ's & ANSWERS !!!!! thread. It also looks like the answer to my number 3 is listed in the first post of the Fog Lamp Mod 2001 (1999-2001?) Explorer thread.
Has anyone done these modifications with their 2000 XLT?? How did it go? Were you happy with the outcome?
On a separate note, what's the best upgrade (with regards to light output) under $200 for a 2000 XLT's headlights? I'm considering just slapping in a set of the PIAA Xtreme White Plus 9007 bulbs and being done with it. Thoughts?
