Fog Lights

[buildabear3804]

Saw this was already ideated by someone else but never saw anything come of it, so I ended up doing my own. I do a lot of night driving especially in the winter time, when here in Michigan it gets dark at 5 o’clock. I ordered some HDPE plastic to try and flush mount, but I ended up using a bracket instead. Using some cheap lights off of amazon, as well as brackets and a wiring kit, I made this.




definitely not the prettiest, and I need to level the lights on their brackets, but a great start.

Some pics with them on. Have yet to use them in rain or snow, but hoping they do well.
They also do not interfere with the cruise control/collision warning system, but they also are not directly in front of it.

Might have to do this so I can drive my Taurus at night again up here... Need every advantage I can get against the White-Tailed Menace.

How'd you wire this all up? Does it all go to a single button somewhere under the dash or did you do something more intricate?

I was lazy and just bought a wiring kit on Amazon. Single toggle switch for it. I plan on wiring into the ignition once it warms up.

I picked up diode dynamics awhile back, but I'm going to remove the lower grill insert, cut 2.5in holes, and mount these inside....

Looks nice

The cruise control module is right behind the drivers side, I don’t know how much you care about it being covered but sometimes I’ll have issues with my cruise not working.

AI or otherwise this is more or less what I'd like to do at some point! I'm looking more towards something that can go flush with the bottom but I'll give that up if it means I can have some good fog lights.

I'm assuming your thinking electrical noise/interference?

These were around $280, I'd hope they don't have any leaking interference.

Here they are on a guy's Lincoln

Those look pretty damn good I'd say, and no, I was more thinking for style points.

I don’t know why it doesn’t work sometimes I haven’t had the time to trouble shoot it, but I assume it is that or just the light shifting on the mount and momentarily blocking the sensor.
