| The lighting system on the ford explorer sport, is not good for night driving at long distances, i have a 98 ford f-150 and the lights are more proper for this kind of driving. the new system that is being used now, has poor visability on bright. this is a problem since i have had the sport. also i have noticed several auto manufactors are using this system, which could pose a safety hazard.*ak | |||
