Same way, coupes have the same wiring harness as convertibles.

99+ cars have it factory-wired that you can turn the fogs on without the headlights. I drive around all the time like this. Looks real mean.

I guess the deal with fog lights was when it's really foggy out, you are allowed to drive around with your parking lights on and low fog light beams. I've seen many people do this on foggy nights.

Well, it has always been illegal to run the fog lights without the headlights being on.

I guess the law was changed because a LOT of new cars these day allow independant operation. I guess that's why ford changed their setup in 1999

ive got a 1998 GT hard top . Did this wiring real easy with the above linked-to guide. Looks nasty. Recommended. As with any pre 99 mustang, my ride would only allow the fogs to come on when the headlights where on. not just the parking light. now i can run the fogs without anything else on. no parking lights, no tail lights. lastly, i like women.

I just cut my red power wire to the fog light then found an open 15 amp spot in the fuse box and wired it in there. Just make sure whatever spot you choose has no power when the car is off that way you wont end up with your lights on all night. Now I can run my fogs by themselves or with parking lights, regular lighs and ultimite bright with my high beams!! I didnt thave the vert harness in my car some do and some dont.

my '91 firebird would run the foglights with just the driving lights on, wonder if there really was a law against it?
