I just got my clear fog lights in and I installed the Left one in semi- easily but the passenger side bracket has this pipe connected to it with rubber hosing, there is a bracket that it is attached to, wich is attached to the fog light bracket. How do I take this thing off!?! Its impossible, I never hear people having problems with changing there foglights, is this only for 94-95 cars? Please help, as this is really annoying to have one regular and one clear light on the car.

That's the infamous 25lb fender weight. It must come out to get to the foglight bracket. It's not impossible, there are I think (I took mine out a year and a half ago) 2 lower bolts, and one upper bolt (this one is difficult to get to) then it will come out. Be careful not to let it drop on your forehead like I did. Gave myself a pretty good headache, lol.

Oh yea, that weight is only on 'verts.

It's supposed to help reduce cowl shake. It doesn't work, it's useless.

Sorry to jack this a little, but does anyone have the scoop on cheap clear fog lights? Mine are alright except that the lenses have seen better days. And a mouse on a wheel with a light attached could produce more illumination.

I would swap mine out if there are some cheap ones out there.

http://www.mustangtuning.com/clfogliset9m1.html Expensive though, they used to be $59.99 when I bought them

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33709&item=7985164581&rd=1 Not the clears, but probably better than what you have now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33709&item=7985164281&rd=1 Not quite as expensive as mustangtuning

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33709&item=7984871761&rd=1 Same as above but with some Xenon bulbs

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33709&item=7984480218&rd=1 Cheapest so far

There ya go JT!
