hey guys whats up. i have a 2001 ranger xlt. well it doesnt have the stock fog lights and i want some fogs. my first question is can i just cut the holes out and put stock fogs in there or am i better off buying a new lower valance with fog light holes off ebay?? also if i get the lower valance will it haveing mounting for stock fogs or will i have to make brakets? also is the wiring for fogs hanging around down there or will i have to wire them in?? thanks alot guys

 

im in the same boat.....you can buy a replacement with the fog holes in it. look on eBay i saw a couple there i think for $40.00 i think. the wiring you will have to do on your own. both the valance and the fogs should just bolt on.

 

im looking to do the same deal with my 03 xl.... finding em on ebay is hard so if u find some lemmeknow.

That sounds right, Fog lighs from the dealer are around $90, FYI.

 

just search ebay as 01 ranger valance. there are a couple in there

 

I recently did this myself. The options I had were:

Try to adapt some fog lights into the stock 4x2 valance which never did look right

Buy a 4x4 XLT or Edge valance and adapt it to the 4x2 bumper by cutting off the "ears"

Or...do like I did

Buy a 4x4 XLT or Edge bumper and lower valance which have the fog light openings and the correct bumper that requires no modification to either. I also picked up a radio bezel that has the spot for the factory fog-light switch, the switch, some harnesses I found at the salvage yard, and a relay and wired it up to operate the fogs. There is a good wiring diagram on this site somewhere that shows how to do this. Thats all done, but I haven't got around to actually ordering the fog light assemblies themselves. The whole setup looks completely factory installed and works great.
