Added to Electronics Aesthetics FAQ
I created this FAQ to help other CEGers figure out what parts are needed to install fog lights onto there Contour. There seems to be alot of confusion as to what stock fog lights and brackets are interchangeable.
First, some pictures of the 2 different style fog light brackets being used on the Contours.
95-97 GL/LX/SE and 98-00 SVT
98-00 GL/LX/SE
Fog lens without brackets
95-97 GL/LX/SE, fog bracket base
This next part can get confusing so read carefully. Pre-98 bumpers have the lower portion of the fog bracket (or base you might call it) molded into the bumper as shown in the 2 pictures directly above. The upper bracket that the lens actually attaches to is now obsolete, and no longer sold by Ford. So if you need upper bracket section shown in the first 2 pictures at the top, you need to buy a complete fog lens with bracket assembly (for 95-97 GL/LX/SE and 98-00 SVT). The only section of the bracket assembly that is still sold, is the base used on the SVT, which is not molded on the bumper like the Pre-98.
Now the important information you wanted, part numbers and current Team Ford prices.
Fog lens with upper brackets:
95-97 GL/LX/SE, 98-00 SVT F5RZ-15200-A - $76.11
98-00 GL/LX/SE F8RZ-15200-AA - $52.53
Brackets only:
95-97 GL/LX/SE, 98-00 SVT (upper bracket only, base molded into bumper except SVT) OBSOLETE, NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM FORD
98-00 SVT (bracket base only) F8NZ-15266-AA - $9.01
98-00 GL/LX/SE (upper bracket only)
PART NUMBER STILL NEEDED
98-00 GL/LX/SE (bracket base only) F8RZ-15266-AA - $12.24
Fog lens only:
95-00 GL/LX/SE/SVT F5RZ-15L203-A - $31.99
Use these to maybe, install stock fog lights on your car and never had them from the factory. Maybe you wanted to install a SVT bumper on your SE, but don't know what brackets you needed to mount your aftermarket fogs. Well now you know. ;
