Explorer Headlamps/Foglamps
Hello all...
I just ordered a cold air filtercharger for my 01 V8, K&N didn't offer one, but found, what I thought to be a reputable one on ebay. I've also been looking at buying those blue H3 xenon bulbs for my headlamps and foglamps. I see they are cheap on ebay.. Has anyone put these in their Explorer's and if so, anyone got pics of before and after?????
Thanks a bunch!!

Silverstars are a waste of money at $40, but a real deal at $20. Buy several sets because you'll need them over the next 6 months. I finally gave up on Silverstars constantly failing. I switched over to the GE Nighthawks. Comparable light output, but they only cost about $25 a pair compared to $40 for the Silverstars. Only problem is I can't find the foglight bulbs anywhere. So far, a GE hasn't failed me.

I would suggest looking on ebay from time to time for a set of the diamond cut headlights. I didn't see any auctions for them right now, but they are usually on there for the diamond headlights and diamond corners as a set. This is a link to what I am talking about:

Using those and Silverstars is a great combo. I've been running the same set of Silverstars now for about 3 years and not had any problems (run H3 Silverstars in the fogs), but they work a lot better with the diamond cut lights than stocks.

i agree with cobra on the diamond cuts. there arent any on ebay right now? I was looking for a set of them for my 97 X and there were tons! and they were about $120 for the 4 piece set which included the corners and turn signals.

I didn't notice any for 95-01's. A lot of 02+ though.
I am looking for another set of them myself. If they throw up some auctions, I am probably going to buy another set and put them away for 'just in case'. I like the look a lot better than the stockers...
