Why does it matter to you if someone leaves their fog lights on all the time? A proper set of fog lights should have a low, wide beam pattern which should have no adverse effect to oncoming traffic. If anything, they're only harming their own vision as they're likely seeing way too much foreground and that makes it more difficult to see things at a distance.
Lol, yes, I knew where you were going with it. Was just busting your chops. For a vehicle they keep touting as easy to DIY and customize they certainly could have made this one a bit easier. Leaving off an almost every day feature like fog lights at this price point makes sense, but it would have cost no more to just pre-punch inserts.Dannit, that was quite Ironic! Well you get what I'm saying though right? Like they could have easily made the damn inserts removeable or interchangeable so folks don't have to go out and cut holes in their valance just to add some fog lights.
I do think it'd be easier for someone to get the FX4 valance and just mount lights in place of the tow hooks, but have you seen the cost of that damn FX4 valanceIf someone wanted to go that route, better hope you got an EcoBooost with FX4 from the factory
Trollll...
he just wrapped them lol. Easily reversible and looked to still be transparent per the pics.I could be wrong but I don't think anything's been wired yet, just the lights fitted thus far. Did you read the post lol?
He painted them.Trollll...

I'd suspect wherever the FX4 tow hooks mount to would be the best bet to build a bracket off of There's also the lower crossmember that's just barely out of site in that pic, but could also attach there possibly.
Sweet!Since I started making progress on adding fog lights to my Maverick, I thought I'd start a thread to document my journey. Feel free to follow along if you'd like!
A couple of weeks ago when I removed the front bumper to modify my grille, I went ahead and cut out the openings for fog lights. I used a scoring knife to carefully score the perimeters. I did this several times on each side. Once I had about half of the plastic scored away, I used an X-ACTO hobby knife to carefully cut through the rest of plastic. The edge isn't as clean as I'd like it, so I plan to use a small edge trim around the openings to better conceal my cut job.
For the fog lights, I found that 04-06 F150 Fog lights have a very similar size and shape as the openings on the Maverick. Part numbers for the housings are:
5L3Z15200A
5L3Z15201A
After test fitting the lights to the bumper openings, I realized that the shape is slightly off, but not as bad as I was anticipating. To make the lights blend in a little better, I'm going to be opening them up and painting the majority of the chrome internals black. While I've got the housings opened up, I'll be retrofitting projectors in them as well.
That's about it for now. The next step is to get some brackets made up so that I have a solid base for the housings. Once I have the lights mounted I can proceed with the retrofit. I'll keep this thread updated as I work through everything.
Test fit of the lights.
