Fog lights for Maverick ?

[Cjackson7646]

I am still waiting on mine but here is just one concept I did by some editing:

Jesus Christ who are you trying to talk to with that antenna? God?

I would like white fogs with a wide angle. Not a fan of turning left on an unlit street with tinted windows -the cutoff of the led headlamps is severe and there's very little corner illumination when turning.

Exactly this!

I hvae the Rigid D-SS PRO on my Honda Element and i love turning when i got those fog lights on. I can see everything on the sides!

I wish i could install those on my Mav as well

Yes, exactly.

I've had the same tint on every vehicle I've owned the past 10-20 years and the Maverick is worse. The difference is the Maverick headlight beam pattern.

PIAA photo for example only. SAE Compliant, 6watt per light. I've seen better beam pattern.

Any decent light maker will show examples of their product beam patterns. Surprising how much junk there is out there.

love the old Hella fogs on my camper with the old H3 bulbs and real glass lens, just won't quit

that’s a prototype kit from Rally Innovations they said they were road testing in hopes to have it ready toward end of year or early ‘23

Those need proper brackets so they face forward.

Yes and yes. The seller's descriptions may not be perfect but there are pics in each listing that show what it is.

Thank you!

Good point, probably should have a separate switch.

Rather than running switch wires into the cabin, F150leds.com has a remote control fob and controller that can be wired into any accessory lighting. A bit pricy ($59), but I like not adding another piece of hardware to my dash.

Wow. Someone that actually uses fog lights in the fog instead of blinding oncoming traffic.

Fog lights are also useful in the rain when the wet pavement reflects and scatters the lights from your headlight beams. With the fogs, I can see the road much better and much closer to my vehicle.

I had thought of replacing my non-FX4 with a FX4 bumper. So I would have the holes for running/fog lights.

I'm thinking one could just drill a hole into those no-hook bumper pads, covers, whatever they're called. I would definitely use a forstner bit. Only way to get a clean hole. Having said that, I must admit I haven't crawled under the front bumper to see what's behind those covers. Pure speculation here.

A foglamp from a 2002 F-150 might work with slight modifications....

Or a 2005 F-150 fog lamp...

Good hunting! Those look like excellent alternatives as long as the halogen can be replaced with LED.

The halogen bulbs could be swapped for led replacements

Waiting for the " why do you need fog lights" posts to follow....

Have you or anyone else driven in thick fog in the dead of nights with the brights on? If you did you'd understand why Ford didn't make fog lights an option.
