Question Fog Light Help

I installed a 1999 Lightning bumper cover on my 2002 SuperCrew. The fog lights just pop in the holes. My lights are clear and have a clear casing surrounding the bulb. How can I tell what year fog lights I have and what does the so called brackets cost and look like?

Thanks,
Blake

The 99-00 lightnings use the same fog setup that the 87-93 mustang gt's use. When i broke my fogs i used mustang replacements.

The 99 and 00 foglights are differant than the 01 through 03 fogs. You can find a pair from the fox body Mustang GT's for about $60 (I think. Could be more, could be less).

here is a pic of the back of the bracket for a 99-00..



in this pic u can kinda see the front of the bracket


if u have clear lights, u could possibly have 01-03 fogs, and if u have a 99-00 cover it will not work..

the 99-00 fogs mounted with a single bolt at the bottom of the fog that attached to the metal bracket.

the 01+ fogs attach right to the plastic cover with three clips that pop into the cover itself..

Pictures

I took some pictures of what I have. I have some front and back pictures. I will post a link to my pictures. I hope I did it right. I hope this helps y'all out. Would I be able to install the 01-03 fog lights? Also notice that the clear casing surrounding the bulb is yellow b/c I installed 9005 Sylvania Silverstars which are 50W instead of factory 42W. If I am able to install the newer lights will the Sylvania bulbs damage the lights?

Jim,
Thanks. The guy that sold me the cover told me that it was a 99 cover. That is why I was getting confused. Do you think the Sylvania bulbs will damage the newer style bulbs? What is the difference between the 01, 02 and 03 model lights?

99 and 00 the same

01 02 03 all the same

from what i hear the wind hurts these fog lenses, but honestly i have no experiance with the fog lenses, i swapped to piaas about 1 month of ownership..

it might be off a 99, after the 01's started production even if u wanted a older style cover, like on the 99 and 00 u could not get one they were all the newer style, like yours..

also good news, u dont need brackets, just the fogs and they will snap right in..
