[AftermathLK]

Thank you for reading this, I've been driving my 2002 ford explorer Eddie Bauer for about 4 years know. So I guess it is about time I did something stupid, anyway not too much damage

and if you are wondering here is the other car

for the corner light ebay for sure rock auto may have them they also
the sell the lights for my 06. the bumper i would try rubbing it out
and see what damaged really is there

thank you for the quick reply. I did end up finding a right turn signal with bulb included for about 30 bucks, I have no idea how to replace although I'm not going to worry about it right now. if becomes more damaged to the point that it doesn't work I'll replace it. sad. but I did rub it out. just some paint off on the angle. not going to worry about it either.

Same as replacing a burnt bulb. One screw. (Page 293)

I'm surprised but I'd have expected someone to tell you it looks like time to upgrade to

Maybe he wants to keep it DOT & SAE legal with amber reflectors.

He can keep it legal by having amber turn signal bulbs. They act the same way

those are really sick. I will probably end up buying those as they are cheaper then just buying one lol. but are they legal in michigan? I'm a total car noob so how would I paint my headlights?

Kazer Lives in Michigan and has had them for a while, you can pm him and ask how he likes them.

I'm assuming that I would also have to buy something like this? http://www.carid.com/2002-ford-explorer-led-lights/lumen-led-lights-3130736.html or is there a better option out there? this upgrading is exciting lol. maybe its a good thing I hit that car.

Lol you don't necessarily need to upgrade to led as many people have had nothing but trouble with them. The incandescent bulbs are fine. I believe the stock corners have amber bulbs anyway.

awesome. mostly I was just looking for something amber. I didn't know there was so many issues with LED although I can always tell when a car has them.

The only real issue is that many people have trouble fixing the rapid flash that comes with having less resistance.

Thats where I got my corners, very clean and perfect fit! And they come with new amber bulbs.

This is a good "how to" on painting your headlights.

thats awesome. and a super good deal. I just bought them. I don't know if I'll be motivated enough to do that blacking although I'll have to see once I put the corners in.
