check for power out of the headlight switch. if good, go to the multi-function switch (turn signal switch). the MF switch connector likes to burn up (esp if you have a gt with fogs). sometimes the feed wire will pull out too. it is red/?? as i recall.

good luck.

This has happened to me before, only one of my brights would work, no low beams but all my other lights worked fine. When I pulled up to the house, all my lights worked, then I get ready to leave, only one bright works. I think to myself there is no way it could be the bulbs, they all wouldn't go at once like that. But they did. Two new bulbs and I was on my way.................................But , my second choice would be the headlight switch. I am on my ninth mustang so I have replaced a few of these, PM if you need any help but it is really simple.

How can you make it so the foglights dont get there power form the headlights. I was wanting (after i fix my lighting problem )make it so i cab have my foglights on without having my headlights on like the newer mustangs do like by just having the parking lights on i saw a website on how to do it does anyone know the address or does anyonr know how to do it. Im not very good with wiring so step by step instructions would be needed.
