Looks good man. My halogens are kind of dim compared to newer cars, thinking of changing them. I like the projector swap some people do.

Here are my before and after photos of my Xenondepot.com HID headlight upgrade on my 2015 EL platinum. The new bulbs are 5000K and now match the OEM fog lights.

Post your upgrades!!
I switched out my halogens for HIDs in my projectors and the difference is night and day.

These were the halogens:

We are looking at swapping our 16 explorer ( full led lighting) for a 17 expedition.. to say the lighting is antique would be a diservice to antiquities

What is up with the fireball-in-the-middle looking scatter patterns y'all getting from your HID lights???

You guys SURE you got proper projectors and not reflectors??????
It sure looks like a projector and that's what is says on the window stick but you'll have to ask Ford that question it's their design.

Well whatevs, their beam pattern is pretty darn odd...

Are your bulbs mounting up in the exact same position as the stock halos?? Same lengths and everything?

Yes, in my case before I installed them I measured the stock bulbs and the location of the filament and compared that to the halogens and they were pretty much identical.
