FOR LX OWNERS WITHOUT EXISTING FOGLIGHT PLUGS: GT Foglights can be added to an 2.3 LX or 5.0 LX without existing ford foglight plugs, if you're switching over to the GT front bumper, or if your installing some aftermarket foglights into your LX bumper. This installation allows you to use a GT style foglight/headlight switch for that factory appearance.

FOR GT & 5.0 LX OWNERS WITH EXISTING FOGLIGHT PLUGS: If you have problems with your foglights and need to fix the overheating switch issue, similar instructions found at: http://www.corral.net/tech/maintenance/foglights.html This can help you eliminate the overheating and save your factory switch from potentially melting. If you've already melted it....well, this link can help you fix it. (my instructions are for LX owners only, sorry)

*(Optional GT brackets when using GT foglights) Installing Brackets on your LX (with GT bumper)
