Have you thought about moving to Las Vegas ...Haven't seen fog yet ...

hummm I can already smell cigarettes and strippers perfume😂
Too hot and too dry for me. I was there for our last CES show in January 2020 and it was so cold and so dry that my insides needed lotion. I filled the tub with hot water and had hot water in sink the steam did the trick so I could get some moisture in my lungs. I had jerky lungs.
But I digress no fog lights on the strip.

Or do I need a second set of glasses. My eyes are not what they used to be!
Why are they spots on the lower bumper for them but not offered.
I hate Mickey Mousing or adding wires on a new vehicle.
Thanks
My initial thought was that those spaces were related to lane-centering tech. The lane-keep tech is built simply into the camera in front of the rear view mirror, but I wasn’t familiar with lane-keep tech. However, looking at the manual, this, too, is regulated with the camera. Maybe the LEDS are situated in a manner to negate fog effects. However, the space is clearly there. Wonder if maybe it was just a cost-saving decision… but that, too, wouldn’t make sense, as it seems they could have made it optional on higher trim grades or lux/1st edpackages.

In sum…. 🤷🏼‍♂️ … No idea why they didn’t include fog lights, not even in the lux or first edition packages, or lariat trim.

Great question though!

… Any other questions I can help not answer? 😂🤣😂

Diode Dynamics has LED fog lights available as a surface mount, the lower plastic valance would need a small cutout. Check out Diode Dynamics web site, they are aware of the Maverick. Quality American made product.

TOW HOOKS!!!! That’s what those spaces where fog lights should go are for! They are only available on the FX4. (Sorry if someone on the thread already caught this. Just noticed on the video the dude posted this morning.)

Right on. I still think those little cupcakes on each side of the hooks is where they will go eventually.

I really like these fog lights, Thanks for the ideas!

How hard do you think it will be to 'pop out' / 'cut into' those tow hitch covers? This brand also makes the small fogs that would be perfect in there if cut in?.

Only thing to me would be how the light is thrown since it would be a little sideways mounted on that curved bumper with these flush ones.

Either way thanks, something to think about.

The weird thing is that the FX4 bumper is NOT simply a regular hybrid/ecoboost cover with the plastic bits popped out. There are some more differences and apparently Ford managed to make an entirely unique bumper for FX4. That said, it may still be possible to cut into the regular bumper, just know that it’s more invasive than a simple pop out.

I want them to shine a little sideways. One reason I want fog lights is to be able to see deer at the side of the road.

Just put these in my 07 Ranger.
To give it some personality
Lights ebay 38
Wiring harnesses ebay 11
Fuse rap 8 auto zone
And some zip ties
3-4 solid hrs
They are pointing too heigh so I will not use them till get them to point down.
But I think they came out nice.
I will put some polyamide tape on the lens to turn the light yellow.
But this What the Mav has in store for it.

Looks great. You should make a video once you do this to your Mav so I can copy.
