Lol @ V6 over GT gas mileage. The 2010's at the local dealership V6 and GT (4.0 and 4.6) have the same exact window sticker mileage wise. 17 city/ 24hwy

FAIL.

i know that you can buy the wiring harness for the new lights but has anyone tried to make their own instead?

I got a street scene one off of craigslist for $60 new it has a rocker switch I have mounted where my headlight/dimmer is and it looks like it belongs there I will post up pics later.

I made my own for cheap. It looks OEM.
The fog light connectors are an AutoZone item
as well as the 30A lighting relay and fuses required.
The GT headlight switch GROUNDS the relay to activate
it.
Its real simple.

Yes. Didn't even use a wiring harness. Ran 1 wire into the cabin to the GT headlight switch, bypassed the SJB.

I have a set of foglight wires for sale ($25shipped), from the light sockets all the way to the underhood fuse box; simply plug these into the proper connector, run the wire to the switch, add the relay (I have one of them, too), and you have foglight wiring in place.



Switch is pretty easy to replace.

i don't seem to ever get tired of this. ok so you can buy the street scene harness or you can make your own. here is a set up i came up with . if you do this the fogs will even go off when the high beams are on.
the article below is the street scene install when i prototyped the kit for them. (my car with there old grill before i went with there center light kit) after we were done i gave them back there switch and used my gt switch. works fine i love it, good luck.
15 amp fuse and holder 2 Bosch relays 14 gauge wire a few connectors also you will need the ford connectors ( from ford, most auto parts stores carry them now or junk yard)

joecool29 i hope this helped you cause it definately helped me. thanks for letting me piggyback on this to get some info. and it sounds like running your own wires seems to bring the cost down from buying the whole wiring packageand helps overcome when the fog lights are on and off
