Nice pictures but way too large. To see them you have to scroll left and right. Pics should be limited to no more than around 800X600 to be seen properly.All right guys, here are a few pictures of the Explorer! I installed 4300k HID kit from Diode Dynamics...I believe they are they BEST in the business, they are extremely accommodating, very knowledgeable, and just all around GREAT!!!! I went back out there today, because I bent the bar on one of the bulbs, they replaced it with NO hesitations whatsoever, they even re-installed the new bulb. I would Highly recommend buying any HID or LED lights from these guys!!! Here is a link to their website...at least check it out if you're in the market www.diodedynamics.com also check out my website too www.kfbphotography.com
I agree. A before and after on the same road or place would be the bset way to see any difference.why does everyone take pics of the lights rather than showing the light ouput against the road? Its also hard to see the light output during the day...
What exactly do mean by brighter ones. The 4300 - 6000K are about as bright as you can get as far as I know.Has anyone upgraded the original HIDs to brighter, more powerful after market ones? I bough a kit but when I tried to install I realized this was going to be way more difficult than expected. Ive done this on my S4 where it was super easy.

The light output or brightness is measured in Lumens. The 4300K has the highest output (lumens). The output decreases slightly as you go up from there. I think the ideal units would be either 4300k or 6000k.Yes colour-wise, but the "strength" of the output is weak IMO. So replacing the oem parts with more powerful 55W ballasts as well as 5000-6000K bulbs. I have such a kit in hand, but when I looked at installing it, it seemed as though the lights have to come out to get to the ballasts, and to get the lights out the grill needs to come off....and so I decided to wait til the spring to do it because everything is filthy right now and wet.
I#am fairly confident at this point thag the only thing different is the ballast and bulbs .. the projectors in each housing look identical to me(from limited hid housing to sport). Maybe someone involved with ford can verify the projector part numbers or something to that matter
This was just discussed in another thread and a ford rep. Got the information from the engineers. The projectors are different.

Welcome to the Forum justin17483.:wavey:I ordered my 2014 Explorer Sport about a month ago and it's supposed to start on the production line tomorrow.
One thing I really wish Ford offered was an HID package for the headlights and fog lights.
With that being said, can any one recommend a quality kit that I can use to upgrade the lights in my new Explorer when it comes in? The higher quality, more plug-n-play, the better.
I was looking at a 6000K color temperature. Does anyone else think this is a good color option?
Also, I am leasing my vehicle. Would doing this upgrade cause any issues with the lease conditions?
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
