no fog lights?

[panda24619]

so my pass fog light went out. not a big deal just figured it went out. well today i couldnt see and i didnt know why. well my driver fog went out. these heads SUCK!!!!! i need new ones. next on my list before coil spacers i think. need to get a job. but anyways. do hallogens just go out? cause when my pass went out i pulled it out and it looked fine. a little weird. i just thought they would dim at first then go out. i guess ill be driving with my highs on, o yeah i for 6 other lights i can turn on too! DUH! haha

yes, halogens can just burn out its very common.

Panda, KISS, first try new bulbs and then go from there. Odds are that is all it is. But then, if you are thinking HID's, now is the time to jump. LMAO.

+1 for HIDs... even cheap ebay ones.... mine are ebay specials from HIDgate... been almost 2 years and only problem was broke a fog light bulb offroading... but the company gave me a free one since there was like a 1 or 2 year warranty....

 

[panda24619]

well they might be cheap. but not cheap enough for me. haha no job=no $$. so i gotta try new bulbs first and go from there.

Panda, if you have a multimeter, you can do a free check by simply plugging the multimeter in where the bulb should go. That way you can verify that you have voltage there. If you do, then you know it is the bulbs. If you don't have voltage, then we can troubleshoot the system without having to drop any money.

yeah ill do that. maybe tomorrow. or later today if i get bored enough.

I wish I can swap out my oem fogs for some good hellas or something. I cant find anyone thats done it yet? I know they are the same fogs that are in the rangers too.

Soli, I am going off of memory here, but the fogs on your Expedition are 4" lights. If you do some looking around, you can find some small lights like that. The big trick that you are going to find is making a mount to allow the lights to sit in the opening like they should. If you have some metal fab skills, then making the mount is easy. If you don't, it can be very frustrating. The big thing is making sure the mount is solid as you will find that bouncing fog lights can be very distracting when driving. I wish you lived closer, I would have you come over and I'm sure we could get you something welded up that would do the job.

Well its to the point where my oem ones actually move so I wanted new ones. But yeah the bracket would be a pain in ass

couple pieces of flat stock a hammer hacksaw and torch can make any bracket you need and any bend you need, makeing a bracket should be fairly simple, for that matter wont the bracket already in the bumper work?
