how much did it cost you for the setup?
did you buy the proper ford light switch or is it just a aftermarket one?

Every thing was bought from ford but I have to wait another 3 weeks for the right bezzel i am getting really annoyed. Also my bonnet still isn't fixed - they were supposed to call when the part came in but of course they didn't, so I am hoping it will be done tomorrow.

The lx is already wired up for the lights - when I rigged up the switch a light for the front fog lamps comes up on the dash along side the rear light, simple things amuse small minds

Pricing - Your looking at roughly

$100.00 each - Fog Lamps
$90.00 - Switch
$35.00 each - Bezel

To the switch no, all the wires are in place it's just a matter of using small enough tools and working your way around to the screws in the back.

nice so how much longer is it going to take you do complete?

maybe you could take a couple pics and write up a bit of a instruction to do help list thing!!
does the light attach perfectly into the new bezel? or do you need to do a bit of D.I.Y reinforcing to make sure the light doesnt fall out?

As I said as soon as the correct replacment part comes in it'll be fitted. As for photo's no can do - busted camera and no digital camera.

Everything fits in place though there are two top plastic plates that I have to drill holes into (behind the bumper) to be able to screw the lights in place, and I have to create a small loom from the radiator to the lights, no biggie.

The bezzels don't hold the fog lights they just sit on three plates attached to the bumper. Every thing is secure.
