wanted to give it contrast we are very rural and people don't always see the blue lights!

So what does the Explorer have installed? Looks like LAWs in the brake/reverse and fog lights. Please post a list. Looks nice.

In the Front there are 2 TIR3's in the Lower Grill, 2 LIN3's in the upper grill, 2 Single Talons on the Dash, and a 2 pack of hideaway LED's in the Fog lights.
In the Rear there is a 4 pack of the of clear hideaway LED's in the taillights and reverse lights, two Mini Phantoms in the upper rear window and 2 LIN3's on the tailgate.
I am doing another 08 explorer and the only changes are the new Avenger replacing the talons on the dash and LIN4's on the grill instead of TIR/LIN3's.

Nice setup. I noticed you said Linear 4's in the grill on the next install. Will they fit between the grill slats? I'm thinking about putting Linear 4's in my grill (07 Explorer) as well but was concened with the space. I have (4) Linear 3's now that I was thinking of moving to the running boards (two on each side) for some more side warning. I'd love to so with Linear 6's in the grill, but I'm thinking they are way to big to shine between the slats.

Very Nice setup. Would also like to see some day pics.
I'm also getting a 2008 Explorer prepped for a friend to do a major install on his within the next week or so.

I think I can speak for us all when I say that I am truly glad you chose to be clothed when you shot the bumper pic....
Did you run into any unforseen hitches upfitting the ex?

Not really but we didn't go with a lightbar! that might be though because of the airbag setup on everypost no where to run the lightbar cable! Just finished opne with the LIN 4's and it looks great!
