Thought I’d chime in after reading 110 pages…. I powder coated the factory 18” wheels, which turned out way better then I thought. I didn’t want to go the aftermarket route being, the wife drives it and curbs it sometime. (Pics still have the tire grease).

Also switched out the high/dogs for LEDS. I tried LEDS in the low beams but the results were terrible. Far worse then the factory halogens, They seemed fine in the garage, but I almost found out the hard way how bad they were. After a 400 mile (round trip ) ice fishing trip (of course both their and back were after dark) with ice covered roads and below zero. They were so bad I almost missed a turn or two. Need less to say I ordered HIDS asap. The HIDS in the projector housing are the way to go. They only take an hour or two to install and the results are a no brainer. You really don’t need the High beams on (and we live in country).
Also did the usual debadge, tint, and weather tech mud flaps.

What led headlights did you buy? I switched my lows to led and holly cow they are bright. My led bulbs I put in my halogen expedition housing are way brighter than my explorer with factory led lights.

Some cheaper one’s on Amazon. I mean I wasn’t expecting much out of them. I at least thought they’d be better then the factory halogens. I was wrong.

I purchased the HIDS from xenonHIDs.com. You need to make sure you get the 9005 bulbs though. (Which I’m sure most of you know)
