In my searching of past posts before buying I failed to find that the svt foglights are slightly different, until I had already bought them. So anyway, they don't fit real well, they're perfectly round and a little too big. Should I try to mod my bumper a little or just sell/trade them for non-svt fogs. I'm not sure what to do -Peter

I have never done anything with foglights before, but they have a bracket of sorts, it just doesn't quite fit right. It looks like it would fit, looking at the bumper and the light separately, but the light is a little bigger than my bumper hole, and it doesn't quite work, mainly because of that. -Peter

Keep looking for what will fit your car. A while back, BAT had them. I havn't checked lately. www.batinc.net Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

For $18 it they must not be selling them by the pair. I think maybe I"ll buy some though, it's a good price. -Peter

I put the BAT post 98 fogs on my '96 GL and all I needed was the right brackets... Pre 98 brackets are no more, unless Bill J can still find some. When I ordered my brackets last year there were 20 left in the world. 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.
