Re: How to re-wire fox body foglights

If anybody needs help on this, I've done two of them. But a word of caution, running the foglight off this new circuit decreases their useful lifespan. In other words, they "pop" more frequently.

Hmmmm, I never had that problem when I did it on my '91 GT.

Re: How to re-wire fox body foglights

you can probably cure that problem with a remote 20 amp relay for the head/fog lights, that is how i fixed the problem in the 88. it was not able to carry enough current through the factory wire, since ford uses such small guage wire.
