Fog light issue

Does anyone else's passenger side fog light seem to be dimmer than the driver side or aimed differently? I have checked the wiring and there is normal resistance on both sides and there is no voltage drop difference between the two sides? does anyone else seem to see this with their truck? 2005 f250 cc

Also I am looking for any other free mod suggestions I have already done the door chime and the fog light on with the high beams! Not alot of money right now but I do like mods!


Thanks in advance!

You could do the seat belt chime mod as well if you haven't turned it off already. See tech folder . . .

Your fog bulb might be on the way out. You can't aim the fog lights since they are on a bracket that bolts to the truck...but you can add headlight bulbs to them to brighten things up (9005 style headlight bulbs).

I failed to mention that I put new bulbs in to try to fix the issue and it did not change!

Brightness, I cannot help you with. But my 09 250 has a screw so that you can aim the light seperate from the bracket.

On what circuit did you check resistance? Check for voltage drop/resistance on the ground (negetive) side.

I tested on the ground side.

How do you adjust the height?

Anyone ever run into a problems with the high beam foglight mod during a state inspection? The mod would be illegal in my state because highs count as 4. Years ago my dad had his fogs wired to a switch on the dash. he took the truck in for inspection and the garage rewired it so the fog lights didn't come on with the highs. They wouldn't have past it the way it was.

I had to adjust my fog lights on my 05 250.I had the same issue with one that looked brighter.I backed my truck into the garage,closed the door, shined the lights on the door and noticed that one was higher.It was kind of a pain to reach up in from the bottom to adjust but that fixed my issue!!!
