im really considering doing this since my lights are getting worse by the day. im thinking of taking out the housing and cleaning it thoroughly and replacing the bulbs with some fog lights that would fit inside the housing. now, would i have to remove the reflective glass in front for the light to be shed well? also, would it be possible to wire the lights up in such a way that they work in the same way the stock lights do using the switch in the car?
on the aesthetic side, would fiberglass hold up well against the heat foglights produce? id like to have something surrounding the lights so that it doesnt look like i just mounted the foglights into the headlights. any other suggestions would be appreciated.
haha this is exactly the setup im running now. Yes it does look kinda ricey but i can see wayyyyy down the road never dreamed of with the stock buckets. I put my brackets upside down so lights are hanging from under hood and you cant see the bracket with the chrome bezel back in there. I used a dremmel to cutout the back side of my stock buckets and yes the foglights WILL fit and look cool behind stock glass ..ahemm i mean "cheap ford plastic", but mine were severly yellowed and the date on them was from 1994 and my car is a 95. Almost all my chrome had burned or chipped off from doing the "HIGH POWERED 9006 and 9005 bulb treatment" from aftermarket suppliers. I will oreder new buckets soon but the bottle and tranny w/3500 stall convertor is on top of my list right now.
I am running the PIAA driving lights but the auto zone ones that look like rectangles will fit also. The stock plastic lense does kill ALOT of light out put due to its freshnell like fluted slits. So i just got them hanging there pushed way back into hole on either side in stock location. i wish i had a damn digital cam to show you guys, but it does work if you wanna play with some fiberglass to make bezel to fit around driving light it could be pretty damn cool looking. just goto one of the vendors offering "non yellowing" high heat resistant grade lexan to make you lenses out of. It will just be a pain in the but adjusting them once finished, unlees you make a cool way of removing the lense off of bucket.
