Hi all

I have a 2012 Ford explorer xlt and I have changed the bulbs to LED. They are marginally better than the awful stock halogens.

but the lights still suck and visibility at night is poor compared to more modern vehicles.

is there anything I can do to improve this modification wise? Thanks

This group is for 2020 and newer Explorers. You probably wanna try a group for your year.

This is the wrong forum for your car. But, LEDs in a Halogen housing are probably worse then the stock halogens as far as scattering light. I would check for some custom HID headlights.
