Why can't they have something like this for Ford Explorers.

I think he is referring to the Sylvanin Xenark headlights that were in the F-150. They are designed for HID,

Actually, they're 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts and 2 ignitors (AK's kit). My setup actually has an upgraded harness. Lots of back and forth arguments about the need for a better harness. I'm of the opinion that it can't hurt.

I did a review here.

Also did mine with a better harness. But for other reasons.

for those interested, on the explorer (mine is 1998) the funny inner headlight reflector thing can stay in there even with bi-xenon globes (the fatter ones) that have both hi and lo beam pattern.

The light cut off pattern is great - just like stock, and not a single person has ever hi-beamed me at night (if they do though - i will not hi-beam them back as once i did that in the past with 90W*2 h4low + 130W*2 h4high + 100W*2 driving lights + 50W*2 fog lights and the guy drove off his side of the road right at me as he was blinded, and i had to drive around him - then i dont think he made the next corner!)

anyway – I now have 35Watt 4300K HIDs and they are far better for normal driving than all that other light, the only time you can use all the other light is on a long straight road about 2 miles away + you need to run about 200amp alternator + it stalls the car at idle or the light go dim + diminishes your fuel economy + melts the wiring + you need relays that die every few years.

One question is – how long do the standard polymer headlight lenses stand up to the extreme UV light that the HIDs put out? Do they go cloudy over time?
