Looking back at my Tasca account, this is all I can pull up:

OEM Catalog
BRKT-FOG LP MTNG LH 1 $23.40 $0.00 $23.40

OEM Catalog
BRKT-FOG LP MTNG RH 1 $23.40 $0.00 $23.40
Status: Sent
Sub Total $46.80
Tax $0.00
Shipping $10.00
Handling Fee $0.00
Total $56.80

----------

I can get you the actual Ford part numbers off the brackets themselves when I head back out there to work on it (class today)

but those brackets are the same one's harleys, lightnings, and stx trucks use, right?
i've been wanting to get some so i can get some fogs that work, the one's that came with my hd valence are crap and already cracked and they're just more for looks then function.

These brackets fit the Harley and STX only. The Lightning's are 4" and mount with the bumper cover.

The lights you want are 3" Mustang 03-04 Cobra fog lights. I picked up my original pair for $90 shipped, and this spare for only $25 on eBay.

alright, i wasn't completely sure. i have 3" fogs with the harley valence and there is a lot of gap inbetween. and pretty much any kind of svt vehicle around our year bodystyle trucks are the same. read somewhere that the focus svt fogs, cobra fogs, and lightning/hd fogs are the same.

i need to find out what size fogs the hd's are stock and just go by that.

the stock HD fogs are 3". if you have gap, they arent 3". my fogs sit flush with the valance. lenses touch the back of the fog light circle. The SVT Focus, SVT Cobra, 03-05 Escape, and 2003 STX/Harley all use the same identical fog lights.

this is the cobra/escape/harley-stx/focus fog light:
