This is what Sylvania lists for the 2013 Explorer:

Search for any vehicle here:

But due to running changes in production, be prepared for the actual bulb in your vehicle to be different than as listed by Sylvania.  Always best to look at the actual bulb in your vehicle.

How to tell if your vehicle is CAN bus equipped:

Now as to whether your Explorer's lighting is actually controlled by CAN bus, I do not know.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Glad you didn't hurt the car and the shop is making it right.  I have changed all the interior to LEDs from Autolimination and have had no problems.  I followed bpd's instructions, although my fixtures were different from Mike's and I had to use some different bulbs, but mine all have worked and have been in for a few years now.  BTW, all my interior lights do have heat sinks.
