Any ideas on the install? Did you do your's yet? I looked at my truck for like 5 minutes(it's 19° right now) and it seems like maybe pulling the grille would be the easiest way? Hope I don't have to pull the bumper.

Did you install them by pulling the grill off or did you have to pull the bumper off?

When I installed my fogs I had to remove the bumper, there's no way they were going to go in with just removing the grill. The guys that can install them by just removing the grill must have manual transmissions. I have an auto and the trans cooler wich is huge sits in front off the radiator and turbo intercooler so there's no room at all.

oldrifleman, from what I've seen on FTE posts and on other trucks their are different lights. From the dealership I ordered from in Charlotte my kit had Hella round fogs. Most other fogs I've seen are square. It looks like dealerships use different suppliers. I like the round myself. I tossed the box and don't have the part# anymore but here's the phone# 1-866-308-0130 to Harrelson Ford parts dept. Ask for Ben, he can help you. Be nice and I'm sure he will give you a break. Hope this hepls. It is a nice kit.

I installed my Ford fog light kit that I got from my dealer $260 (square), yes they were plastic lens and if you have a transmission cooler you will have to remove the bumper, that is what the Ford instructions said. it takes a while to do this. good luck!

I'll tap into the plow's harness so that when the plow lights are on and the headlights are off the fog lights will not come on.
If I can't find the relay I want I'll connect a normal relay only to the low beams, I don't use my high beams much being in NJ, there's ALWAYS oncoming traffic.
Sorry I can't provide you with colors and locations on wires, I can post back after I get my foglights and install them if you don't have it done by then.. but I reckon it'll be pretty easy.
