Looks good so far. I think it looks better with just two grill lights. I am guessing you program the Ghosts like their other LEDs. I had to read though the instructions a second time as well.

Yes if you follow the instructions and set each light to ID 2 or 4.
Here are the pictures after I moved the lights today. I like the way they are now. I also finally converted my Astro to a remote mount radio and gave myself some more room in the console for future upgrades. Was cheaper and easier that I thought. I should have done it sooner.

LET THERE BE LIGHTTTTTT! Lol I wanna see a video! This could possibly be the most anticipated light show I've waited for!
Good work, Looks like you really put your heart into it. Keep up the good work. I really am liking the way the console came out

Much beter, I got mine in the x pattern. Took me about two hours to figure out but i got it. I will have a video up soon.
Nothing wrong with responding with takedowns turned on if you've got a slicktop, IMO. Not too shabby. :thumbsup:

I wanted to keep from messing the the factory wiring as much as possible. I also wanted to drill as less holes as possible. In the future I might find the matching plugs for the headlights and harness and do the whole "no cut way". The only thing I might add is some white vertex in the fog lights. I am kind of kicking myself for selling my Whelen LAWs.

Installed a bug deflector, wired up my cell amps, and moved my map light from the back to the front. I tried to avoid drilling holes in the dash but that was the only spot that it worked.

Just a couple of small updates.
I changed the arm rest that use to be in there. I like this one a lot better and gives me more arm room.
I then Plasti-Dipped the front grille because I hate chrome. I might end up sanding the chrome off and painting it with real paint. I just used the Plasti-Dip to see what it would look like and how it would stand up to the elements.
Other than that I haven't done much to it becasue I have everything set up the way I like it.

Good looking explorer! I just got a 2010 explorer. Looks for ideas for my lights. What kind of rear lisence plate bracket is that? How did you run the wire on it? Also, what kind of console is that? Thanks!

The license plate bracket is a Havis Shield one. I drillef a hole through the firewall and ran all of my wires through it. The console is made by Havis Shield.
Get that brush guard on already .....I'm impatient. I hope to be getting an Explorer soon and you are giving me all sorts of great ideas.

Well the plans to install the grille guard got put on hold, we got about a foot of snow last night. Hopefully next weekend will be nicer. Im also waiting on the other M4 to show up. UPS claimed they lef it at my door on Thursday but I still have not seen it. Gonna have to get the run around on Monday trying to talk to someone about it.

Call the 800 number, but for every single question they ask from the start, just say "customer service representative." After about 3 times asking you to repeat, it will connect you directly to a human being. Works with almost every automated calling place.
