Agreed. Not noticeable at all.

Pic of the light and how even the hood still looks
Looking good. Got to believe that's kind of how the 2025 Explorers are going to come from the factory with.

Here's the look on the 2024 Escape:

I like that front end. Unfortunately spy shots show no LED light bar.

Hi,
just installed this and figured out if you undo the hood lock bracket on the hood and place a washer between the hood and the bracket I was able to latch the hood without removing the weatherstripping.
Thanks for this. I just installed. Ran the strip towards the front of the top of lights and used the washers on the latch and it closes perfectly. Even keeps the gasket tight.

Hi there, thanks again for sharing ur tutorial. I have just gotten the kit. However upon opening the engine fuse box, I don't see an existing fuse on #21. Can I still use a fuse tap with 2 x fuse on it? ( I have an regular 2022 ford explorer XLT)


Just re-read, I'll try 22, 26 or the 137 as mentioned in page 3 :)

Let me know if there's a "better" alternative! Or a way to tunnel into a spare driver side fuse box?


Thank you!

Hi, I'm currently working on a light strip install. Which fuse # ended up working for you?
