So you would need a relay, which is below the steering column, some foglight connectors, fog light bulb and assembly, switch, and some wires? Is there any how-to on how it all should be hooked up?

I don't know of one off hand but I'm sure a search would turn up something. Check your car for wires under the front bumper that may be for fogs. If you don't have them I would just go with aftermarket. For the Mystique, I think I would deffinatly go with an aftermarket set becuase they use different fogs than the Contour and aren't availble from BAT. That way you get the relay, switch, lights, and wires for probably cheaper than FoMoCo parts even if they are junkyard parts.You can get some really nice ones that produce much better lighting than stock. Aftermarket lights come with directions too.

As far as I know, no.
I just got a cheap $20 foggie kit & used the wiring diagram & harness from that kit. Instead of the kit switch, I wired it into a factory headlight/fog switch. Instead of the kit lights, I wired in the factory lights with some connectors I cut off an old Contour in the bone yard. Easy. No guessing.
I know next to nothing about how a relay circuit works. I know what it does, just not how it does it. So, I play it safe & use somebody elses wiring diagram & wiring. $20 well spent. I've also seen some cheapie fog/driving lights on clearance for $10 here & there, so look around.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

'Bout anywhere. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Advance Auto, Auto Zone, online somewhere... You have loads of choices. You could even troll the local or online yards to find some factory units.
I think the BATinc.net site says their factory lights actually do fit the Mystique, but I don't know for sure. Search to see if you can find info on that... [BAT fog Mystique] with an 'and' operator should narrow things down nicely.

Contour fog lights won't fit a stique, they're way different. Well, they would, but not in the stock location.

How would you make one fit that doesn't fit the factory-set place for the fog lights? I'm one of those types of people that got to have it looking neat and orderly. nothing hanging off of huge clips and what not. Thanks for any help, and I appologize for stealing the thread too  Steve

You're in luck Steve, most of the aftermarket will come with "universal" brackets that will allow them to be fit in the appropriate spot.
If you're all that wound up about fit (which I was too), do the same thing that I did, grab some stock foggies and a stock headlight-w/foggies switch from a bone yard. Snip the fog light connectors off the car while you're at it so you can be sure you can plug them in. Pick up a cheap set of fog lights for $10 or $20 and use the wiring & instructions from the kit to set everying in. Looks & works just like factory, plus you get brand new wires, relay, & fusing.

So do you need the actual factory switch or are there aftermarket ones you can buy or make yourself? I found the connectors to the foglights.
Thanks,
Steve
