If someone had higher watt bulbs in the lights, or they were hanging open in a 5.0 LX, it’s possible.

The spades on the fog light arent long enough to make contact. Break a fuse and used the blades to tuck inside the plugs.

The fog lights will cause a problem if you don't correct them like Ford did in a TSB.
