FAQs

What bulbs do these headlights use?
Per the item specifics: LED low beam and HB3 (9005) halogen high beam. Bulbs and the LED module are not included; reuse yours.

Will these fit an Explorer Limited?
The Sport uses black housings; Limited/XLT use chrome. They mount the same, but order the style that matches your trim.

Do I need to remove the front bumper to replace these headlights?
Yes. Ford's owner manual says the front fascia must come off for 2016-2018 Explorer headlamp removal (about 2 hours labor).

Can I install HID or LED kits?
Only the halogen HB3 (9005) high beam can take a plug-in LED or HID bulb; the low beam is a built-in factory LED and is not serviceable with a kit.
