Thanks for the suggestion! I did separate and paint the headlight housing, but it did nothing (obviously) for the side marker lights. I wasn't sure if I should use niteshade on the front lights or if I should replace the corner lights with some amazon ones. I can't seem to find any black side lights only, they seem to come in a package or not at all. As for the bumper, I've been yard hopping and found one that's a different color, anyone had any luk with the duplicolor perfect match paint?

Nightshades on the turn signals! look at the picture i posted above...

either mask them off and spray it for $5 or have to buy new signals and then install them?? i'll mask and spray anyday haha

If u already opened your headlights y not just open the turn signals too. Then u can have it inside of the light black and not a tinted lense which wont match your headlights

Can the side marker lights be split? I thought they were sealed differently, I'll check when I get home tonight. Thanks,

They use the same glue/ adhesive. U can heat and split them the exact same way. I opened mine and painted them white. Then resealed them with waterproof silicon

Almost done with mine. Just need to install the strut spacers, and I'll call it quits.

Went on a bit of a camping trip out bush in the Explorer, whilst out we did a bit of wheeling... sorry about the poor photos only have an old iPhone 4.

The truck is pretty much stock except the BFG Muddies in 265/75 16. It went really well in the sloppy stuff. We had a ball.

Nice, are those rally raid type wheels? I don't ever recall seeing wheels like that on an Explorer.

 

[mendy]

They look like factory Ford Au fairmont wheels.

Might have to pick some up for mine instead of bashing the 17s up

Close Mendy, they're 2004 Ford Fairlane Ghia rims 16" rims, my mate donated them so I could run a 16" tyre and keep my highway tyres on the factory 17s.

Nice setup Nudge; they look just like Braids or those fancy Landie (Wolf) Blindos to me.

I'll also take that info! We go fishing a lot and have drained my battery running my led lights at night while night fishing off the shore.
