Lower Grille Driving Lights Installed

Finally got my driving lights wired and installed in the lower grille of my '05. From what I can find, the lights are Explorer ProComp 9200's. The lights appear to be slightly crooked in the pictures, but in person they appear straight and level.

First is a Closeup of the lights



Next is a shot in the day with just the new lights on


Here are a few pictures of my switches. I used blackf150337's great tutorial for the basis of where I put my switches. However, since I have parking sensors, I could only use two of the mini switches. I plan on using the other switch for some lights behind the grille.


And when lit..


I will post some pictures of the lights this evening when it gets dark. Feel free to post any questions, and I will do my best to answer!

I took some pictures tonight, so I will add a few of them to the thread.

Just ProComps


Low Beams and ProComps


Here's one of the switch illuminated in the dark.


And finally here's one just tweaking the shutter speed and ISO settings


I took the truck for a little ride to make sure the lights were adjusted properly and to make sure they did not shake. I'm glad I added these lights, they add some width to my field of view, but also shine a bit further than the stock low beams.

That last pic would look sick if you had some demon eyes.....

Thanks guys! So far the lights are holding up great. No water or moisture in either one and have driven in rain and storms a few times. For $35 I am impressed.
