Front Fog Lights
I have an XLT F250 that does not have the factory fog lights.
Is there an after market resource to purchase them, and has anyone installed them?
Thanks in advance for any information.

I have seen this asked before but do not remember if it was answered, try a search and you might get lucky.
I would look for something other than the Ford units though, I think there are much better units out there. My last truck did not have them so I added driving lights and rigged them so that when the high beams turned on they came on, that way I did not have to fight with Switch to dim them, they just go off on dim. I use them to see and the factory units are little more than decoration.

Agree with the aftermarket source - more bang for the buck !
The stock ones on my truck were removed to make room for the piaa 520's I put in front of them... then moved all four out to the westin bull bar on the front...
6 lights and a "few" watts with all the upgraded lamps in the hedlamps and stock fogs...

I posted the part number for the factory fog light kit a while back. I got it from one of the online ford parts sites. I have the fogs on my truck now. Do a quick search or search for all my posts.

I think the factory foglights look awesome. I made the mistake and ordered the Ford aftermarket ones... thinking they were the same... they are completely round. I like how the factory one are squared off. But by the time I opened the box and found out... too late! They are on ebay all the time. Stick with the factory ones!!!

If you get the Ford ones, do your self a favor and get new Halogen bulbs for them. They are # 899 bulbs. That translates to a #893 replacement. I just ordered a set of 893LXC Eurolite Xenon bulbs. Supposed to be much brighter.
I got them for $10.52 plus $6.33 shipping from 123AV.com I do most of my driving at night so these brighter bulbs will be a welcomed addition. Also check out the PIAA replacements for your headlights. I ordered those as well and haven't got them either... I can't do a Bull Bar because I have a plow frame.
I would love to have a big set of those PIAA's too......
