Replacing fog light / daytime running light?

[St33da]

What did you use to change the color of yours? I have silver ones on mine and want to get some black ones.. yet can’t find any that fit a SHO online.

Yes I saw those on eBay and was about to buy them.. then I clicked on read more and noticed it said it did not fit the SHO models :/.

Doesn't matter which trim level.

They're all the same for the '10-'12 MY's.

That link says differently.. are you sure?

 

[bpd1151]

Yes.

I've taken plenty of bumpers off helping friends out over the course of the last 8 years.

Ford did NOT stamp them any differently for the SHO, versus any of the lower trim variants.

Okay well in that case I may snag those.. I appreciate it.. Also it seems you are quite experienced with the SHO’s.. I was wondering if I tinted the front windshield if it would mess with my automatic lights sensor etc due to not as much light coming in.. I’m not quite sure where the sensor is so this may be a dumb question haha.

Most states won't allow one to tint the entire windshield. But there are ways around anything. So.....

That said, the sensor is located within that plastic housing unit in/on the windshield & rear view mirror.

How it is affected by tinting, is contingent on the percentage used.

35% or 50% I'm sure the sensor will not be effected.

Drop it down to 20, 15, or even 5%, it likely will.

Ah I see, well thank you for the help I definitely wasn’t planning on going below 35% for the windshield so it works out haha.

Regarding the lower bumper light bezels, I would assume the reason the listing says they won't "fit" is due to the color and it being the correct part for a given model. The year matters...but as written above...the color is the difference between the SHO and non-SHO bezels...not the fit.
