headlights out?
I noticed last night that my headlights were both out, highs and lows. I have Silverstars and upgraded harness. The bulbs are both new. I checked the fuse but I haven't gone any further to track down the problem yet. Just wondered if there was a relay that could be bad. May be a coincidence, but I just changed the batteries the day before the lights went out. I know this isn't a PSD issue, but I always get the best response from you nice folks in this forum. Thanks!

I looked at that one yesterday and sent the guy a message asking if he had one for a 2002. Mine has the fog light switch built into the headlight switch and it doesn't look like that one.

If you happen to find one like mine let me know. Been looking but so far no luck. A buddy of mine was going to a wrecking yard in Houston today and he said if he sees one he will grab it but I have a feeling he won't find any there.

if you have to, you could always buy one of those, and then dremel a hole for the fog light switch. will still save you money. you had better find out for sure what the problem is though. i'll still let you know if i run across one.

If your Ford dealer is selling to your for the full $88.18, give 'em the finger and walk out!!!
That is MSRP, they can be had from some of the sponsors for half that!

I believe yours is the 7th one down.
