Why are aftermarket MIA for 3rd gen explorers?!

[Mr_Fruffles]

I just do not understand.

Am I missing something or do aftermarket projector headlights for a 2004 explorer not exist?

Or indiglow gauge overlays for an 04?

I have spent hours but can not find anything.

Okay so, as far as headlights are concerned this is also something I've really been interested in.
It seems that these are the most aesthetically pleasing ones I can find aftermarket.

But they're crystal, not projector.

I do know that there's this company that makes a kit I believe to retrofit projector headlights.

They have a universal kit, not sure how it all really works though.

I'm new to this, what's the difference between crystal and projector?

Difference is that with a projector you can use LED or HID bulbs (depending on the housing/projector) and the other you can only use halogen (you CAN put in led and hid bulbs but youll blind other drivers).
