So I ordered a pair of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! instead. I like the shape of the Esploder Mirrors better and I dont exactly trust the build quality of these mirrors, so I’m gonna mount the Explorer Mirror to the bracket off the amazon pair and sell the amazon mirrors mounted to the Explorer bracket on craigslist to try to recoup some of my losses.

While I was at it, I also ordered a pair of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! after I installed some silverstars and realized they did diddly squat to improve my vision. I decided against the black housings because these were Depo branded and I trust their build quality. Plus they aren’t the standard Ranger headlights and are still an upgrade.

Not with that attitude. Use more JB Weld!

There are a few issues with the fitment that JB weld wont fix;

1: the mounting bracket is way too big

2: the studs dont line up

3: The studs are too short

Did you try using a hammer? :P

I would of thought the Ranger and Explorer share a lot of the parts.

I thought they wouldve matched up, they seemed to at least. But they are just ever so slightly off.

I just got the standard silverstars, the ZXE blue crap is terrible. It always bugs me when people come into the store asking for them. We dont even put them on the shelves, we keep em behind the counter

Even the standard Silverstars are mediocre, blue-tinted crap compared to a proper +50 or +100 bulb.

The Philips XtremeVision are my go-to bulb, or the Osram Rallye.

Your truck should have 9004 bulbs, so for it, I’d look at Philips and the GE Nighthawk Platinum. (Advice stolen from Dan Stern... Seriously, he’s the man when it comes to vehicle lighting.)
