    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    Finally some output pics. Took long enough, but I discovered that my FORScan changes that “seemed” to work actually didn’t, and I was fighting through intermittent issues of them not coming on or flickering nonstop. In the end, I built a relay harness out of stuff I had lying around, and that...

    Navigator/Expedition Tail lamp swap

    So @Muddy Bean for what’s it worth, I spent some time comparing part numbers between a 2015 Expedition and Navigator. The rear quarter panel, side supports, bumper cover support, and hitch are all the same part number between the two vehicles. Obviously, the taillights and the bumper cover are...

    Fuel filter, are you in there??

    I looked at a couple of videos, and they all correlate with this one: Top-front of the gas tank. Does your replacement filter have the two lines in, one line out like a normal 2009 Expedition filter?

    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    That amber bleed-off isn’t nearly as strong as it appears, and there’s none that bleeds off behind the bumper at all. I think my camera just picks up the light weird, the amber lighting is sealed inside the housing, what you are seeing is just the output from the lights themselves. It’s a...

    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    @gixer2000 your lights are great, not busy or overly complicated and match your truck well. I’d have probably preferred going with some Morimoto projectors for their superior output, but I do like having the ability to grab parts off nearly any OEM Ford HID system if something fails. Plus he...

    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    Yeah, that was part of the appeal. He sourced the projector housing pieces himself. All he reused was my factory lens. He's just a local guy who does them for fun in his spare time.

    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    No, he just left the projectors as they came. The output isn't as good as the Mini-D2S square projectors in my last retrofit, but they were a bolt-in, and a vast improvement over the halogen reflectors I had before. He also added quick-connects for the inputs, so I can upgrade the ballasts and...

    Retrofitted Bi-Xenons

    After a month-long wait while I was out of town, I returned to my completed retrofits They use the factory Ford (OSRAM) HID projector, bulb, and ballast out of an Explorer, along with the fancy lens out of the Taurus. The paint is a mix of my original Ruby Red Metallic, gloss black, and...

    Question on programmers, CAI's and the relearn process

    I have never personally used the 'canned' tunes in a programmer, always favoring custom tunes, but I occasionally had issues on my F-150 with stalling and a rough idle. However, my truck never idled high, just would sometimes surge between 450-550 prior to stalling completely. Altering my...

    Do second row captains slide?

    I have the second row bench, and the only part that slides is the center seat. The outboard seats are fixed and can only do the fold and tumble part.

    aftermarket towing mirrors

    I will second what Adieu said about the 1AAuto ones being a solid choice. I have them on my '15 (except mine have the turn signals under the bottom mirror) and they've been great for me. I do have a little bit of lens shake, but it isn't enough to make me second-guess my choice.

    2017 limited tailgate trim

    They don't actually say what happens, but I am guessing it loses its ability to be peeled off easily. This was an easy way to see how it looked without doing a permanent job. When I hit the 3-month mark I'm going to peel it off and then redo it differently.

    2017 limited tailgate trim

    I used Rustoleum Peel Coat in Graphite to paint mine. It's not as dark as the factory magnetic-painted strip, but the difference isn't as noticeable in person as in pictures. Took less than half a day to get this and my grille off the truck, prepped and painted, and put back on. I chose this...

    Sony sound system upgrade?

    The door speakers are 6x8, but 5x7s fit as well. You can also use adapters to fit 5.25" speakers easily. Not sure why the difference in recommendations, but my F-150 had the same speaker size and I put in 6-3/4 components without an adapter. A 1" tweeter is replacement size for the stock one...

    2017 limited tailgate trim

    I took mine off and painted it a few weeks ago. It was a pain, but not overly difficult. Definitely a lot of holes.

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    Isn't the Auto Lock and Auto Unlock the setting to lock the doors when you put it in drive and unlock when you go back to park? And each of the numbers references a key? I thought Ford limited it to 4 keys being programmed at one time, though? I'll check my truck on Friday evening when I get...

    2015 Expedition My Ford Touch to Sync 3

    You should be able to use the APIM as-built from a comparable '16 or '17 easily enough. I don't see anything in the data that even seems to reference the VIN in the APIM. Comparing a '17 to my '15 shows my APIM code ending at 7D0-04-02, while the '17 continued through 7D0-07-04. This is with...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    Global windows only works with windows that have Auto up/down functions built-in from what I've read. Since Ford likes the Expedition to roll a few years behind everything else in the lineup, all we would get is the driver's window. If it is even possible. I also don't recall auto-fold or...

    H.I.D. Headlight Options

    Thanks for catching that. I have gotten used to dealing with projector retrofits as opposed to putting HIDs in place of halogens.

    Need help choosing tire size

    I have 18" wheels, not 20s, but I am running 285/75R18, which is 34.8" tall and 9" wide at the tread, with no rubbing anywhere, but I don't have power running boards either. A 275/65-20 would be 0.7" shorter and 1/2" narrower at the tread. Doesn't seem likely it would rub. As far as gearing...

    H.I.D. Headlight Options

    What bulbs are you running? It might be worth retaining 35W ballasts and spending the money on the ultra-high-quality Osram CBI/CBH/Night Breakers out there. As much as you drive, running overdriven bulbs and their subsequent reduction in life expectancy may not be the best option. I'll admit...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    That's correct, been that way since the beginning unfortunately. I've never heard of anyone NOT being able to get a new extended license every two months though. I suspect at some point they will stop giving out the extended license for free, even for a couple of months. I haven't looked into...
