Hey all,New guy here. Just got the truck in my sig from my dad. One thing it doesn't have is fog lights. I looked around a little behind the bumper but didn't see harness endings where the lights would be. Should they be there? Also, will the plugs for a headlight switch with fog controls be behind the switch? We get lots of fog during the winter in this valley and there are more deer than people, so I'd like to add a little light on my dark commute! Thanks guys!

Long ago, in a previous life, my much beloved '68 RoadRunner. It carries the "Off Road" non-sealed beam H1s (then the newest)... the lows & fogs were Hellas, the highs were Carrellos. It was not just the power of the bulbs but the quality of the optics. I could light up 1 1/4 of straight flat road like daylight... the longest stretch I ever found. (Not going to mention the terminal velocity.) I didn't want to cut the grill but it blocked too much light. The fog lights hung inverted on a home made bracket between the radiator support & the sheet metal where the hood locked down. When I hammered it over rough roads, the fog lights would shake some. My truck didn't come with an air dam & I don't want to block the Escort installed radar system sensor under the bumper.

A good friend of mine just started distributing LED lights and light bars. www.lifetimeledlights.com. I haven't picked them up yet but I got a couple pairs to replace the backup lights on my trailer. A few friends have installed the 13.5" strip lights and they are downright amazing. I just put in new '00+ factory style fog lights (clear lens, not fluted) in my '97 and it made a HUGE difference. of course the old ones were severely yellowed too. [ATTACH]4807[/ATTACH] Along with my ricer headlights (projector e-code pattern low beam, separate reflector high beam - all 55w H1 halogens on relays) I've got quite decent output [ATTACH]4808[/ATTACH] It's nothing compared to the daylight that I get from my Eagle's headlights though. I put in H3 conversions in all 4 3x5 sealed beam spots, with relays, and I run 55/100w bulbs. It's probably not doing much charging of the battery with a 52w alternator at idle with the high beams on but it's the best lights I've ever driven!
