I know everyone says don't put HIDs in non-projector housings, but I've spoken to two other Mountaineer owners who have done it no problem, no glare or cars flashing them and actually a decent cutoff line as our reflector housing is pretty good with it's design and clear lens, vs the ones on Explorers where people complained of glare and scattered light like a **** even when aimed. Plus I just noticed something today on a Friends 06' Escalade, they come from the factor with a similar reflector housing and HIDs, the previous gen Escalade used non-projector HID's, no different from my truck. Plus looking stuff up quite a few cars used to not have projectors like the previous gen G35 as well.
Being my truck (2000) has the good factory cleear housing I'm just gonna go that route, don't want to bother with projector retro fit as I know a few people who tried and had problems or had to buy new housings as no matter how sealed they were kept fogging up inside.
Any input on the fog's though, as don't want hid's with that nasty yellow fog light. I can't seem to find replacements for this truck except for factory, plenty of options for Explorers. Is there just a normal "white" halogen rectangular fogs for my truck?
edit - also anyone know where to get side clears for the Mountaineers, searched and again can only find them for the Explorer, to get rid of the yellow casing.
