Before: After: i bought these foglights from a pre-98 tour this weekend for 10 dollars which included the harnesses and the mounts. i was going to put them in when i figured out that they were a weee bit too big for the 98-00 holes. the brakets also required a bit of modification. Another thing i did was make the blue oval red. i got it off a escort for free and i already had the t-red paint. im probably gonna get a new one from ford and modify that one because this one is a little rough. im gonna change the rear logo to black so it matches the blacked-out chrome strip i changed [image] to [img] and now it works. hmm Last edited by dsickles123456789; 05/27/04 09:45 PM. 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo 1992 Bronco Eddie Bauer 5.8 E4OD 1998 Contour GL 2.5 CD4E 2001 Montero Sport Limited 3.5 Auto 2002 IS300 3.0 Auto See My Cars

Now if I ever manage to get a set of 510's in there, I will use them. The stock fogs are really only good for going out all of the time. 2000 Contour SE Sport Originator of the Beowulf Headlight Mod and the Beowulf CAI

It seemed like everytime I turned them on, one of them was blown out. No problem. I will just wait for quality driving light goodness, not this lame ass weak factory fog blowout time. At least the holes are filled with something. 2000 Contour SE Sport Originator of the Beowulf Headlight Mod and the Beowulf CAI
