so they were installed inside the fog?
If so can you explain how you took it apart. I just got an 04 Eddie Bauer and that seems like something i would do BTW you should get some HIDs

Thanks for all the comments!
The process was actually pretty simple. 1) Remove fogs and take the bulbs out. 2) Bake for about 10 mins at about 200-215 degrees 3) CAREFULLY pry the glass off the housing. If it takes a lot of effort, put them back in the oven and bump up the temp a little 4) Drill a small hold at the top of the housing, cut halo wires and feed them through 5) While holding the ring in place with some spacers, go around the ring with a thin bead of silicone/RTV 6) Silicone lens back in place and wire up however you want. Some additional photos as requested:

Thanks alot bro!
I'll be ordering the things to do it soon One more thing what LEDs are you using in the interior? I just got the truck yesterday so i haven't even looked what bulbs it uses. I just tinted to windows and add HIDs 
Next step is grill and wheels(22s) |

Im using 5 chip superfluxes on the interior. They pull about 100mA and came with resistors, but the resistors get REALLY hot. It's better to use them in clusters of 3 to reduce the load on the resistor. I can explain in more detail with pics if you want.
wheels will be the finishing touch on the exterior. I just ordered HIDs... |

Hey MedXLT,
What exhaust is that? or is it just tips? Either way...it looks very nice and works with the explorer! |
