Fog Lamps
so i'm thinking that i really want some fog lights so i can black out my headlights cause i think it looks badass. So i essentially have two questions:
1. If i get fogs either the GT grille, or get just a set of fogs either from like pep boys or just the fogs off of a GT, do i need to buy that $100 wiring harness that everybody is selling, or can i just hook it up to my fuse box and put a switch inside?
2. Will it be bright enough at night time with 5% on my headlights, and essentially just using my fog lights?
thanks in advance!

Yeah thats what i was getting at with the pep boys fog lights... just dont know if those would be bright enough if only 5% of the light is getting through my headlight tint...

Its bright enough for running around town but out on the hi-way
it would not project enough light to see far enough in front of
you at those speeds. Street Scene makes GT driving lights that
fit right where the OEM fogs are but they are 55W driving lights
and would probably work. Moss Mustang has them for ?$164.95?.
You will need a harness and a relay. A fused tap and a switch just
wont work well. Too much voltage drop to ensure bright lights.
