Has anyone replaced the fog light bulbs on the 2017 ford explorer? Doesn't seem like the same procedure as 2016.

I have not, yet. Look on YouTube. There’s a ton of info there that is really helpful…..good luck!

I watched a video on YouTube about the 2016 explorer but it seems like the harness setup is different and further in. Not much space due to it being lowered and rims so can't really see in there gotta do it by feel. I just tinted the fog lens yellow and that works pretty darn well so I guess I'll settle with that.
Thanks for the response.

What kind of tinting do you use? I tinted mine with a removable product I got from KC, and applied blue for winter driving. Really helped when things got sketchy on the highway in a snowstorm. Just practical experience that may help down the road. I think the yellow would be pretty cool in the rain and fog and may try that myself.

I'm in the LA area so not too worried about the weather...mostly did it because of the look I was going for. I have the white explorer and the yellow tinted fog lights just stands out perfectly. Used the regular yellow tint and left the white lightbulb in there. Yellow definitely looks cool in the night and rain.
I'm just trying to get the suspension tuned for a comfortable ride on these awful highways in LA lol.
What mods have you done to yours

Sly, I’m looking into changing the bulb for a more efficient (meaning powerful, I guess) one.

Will post when I find a shareable result.

Looking forward to it.
I looked into that access they got in the front fender and saw that there is Grey housing inside which holds the light and the chrome piece inside the lens. Looks like it's gonna be a pain in the ass so I left it alone....yellow tinted fogs fine for now

Getting to the point where I need to change shocks. Would love to go with something a little stiffer to handle turns better, but still keep that Explorer highway ride. Might look at Fox or Icon. Had tunable shocks on the Raptor, but this ride is nothing like that truck. Lol
