Fog lights in a 3rd gen XLS?

[Uafan]

Has anyone put foglights in an XLS? I know there's no holes for them, but Im debating if i should do a bumper swap, or do something creative.

You could just mount some lights on the bumper you have now

Does it have the harness for them down there? If not, it's probably cheaper and easier to just get an aftermarket kit and mount on the bumper. It's not as pretty, but it is cheaper and easier.

i put aftermarket fog's an my 04, I took the covers out where the tow hooks are supposed to go and mounted them there and it looks factory.

i did the bumper swap... i had to wire up my own aftermarket switch for the fogs but it was worth it... much more coverage with the OEM lights than aftermarket ones

lilbeefy, that's what I was thinking about doing, pictures?

That's a nice location...

Is it for looks or for use? If it's for use, it's not the most effective location. I've had them there, on the bumper, above the bumper, on the bull bar and on the roof (can't use on the street) The best location is where Ford put them, integrated with the bumper.

Bumper Swap

If you decide to do a bumper swap... I have an '02 XLT and I want to switch to the XLS trim. I'ld trade you.

Donner, it would be a little of both. I just absolutely love the look of HID fogs to be honest.

Pacific Rescue: Please check your PMs.

Put two sets! I have 3 sets on mine... A pepboyz set never hurt anybody... I have two of them, plus the oem bumpers.

Just making sure, HIDs do fit in the stock housings correct?

If you search Whitelimited, I believe he has those in the stock housing, but I'm not familiar enough to say...
