Oem Foglight Query:
I'm going to install the fog light valance and oem style fog lights on my '03 Ranger XLT. What do I need besides these:
I know I need a different bumper than what I have now (my valance doesn't come up the sides of the bumper like the fog light versions), so I assume the fog light style bumper has different ends on it?
It seems there should be a fog light bracket of some sort, which I can't find on any of the parts lists.
If some of you guys w/ oem fogs on your '01~'03 Rangers would chime in on how the fog lights attach to the valance, i'd appreciate it.

for an OEM like fit and finish, you'll need a 01-05 upper bumper for an EDGE or 4x4 XLT. It has provisions for those 'ears' on the top of the valence.
There are some members on RPS who've cut those 'ears' off and used the stock upper that you have now and it actually looks pretty good. Thought i had pics saved of this..but can't find 'em.
The fogs brackets are build into the valence...just add a nutsert to those brackets on the valence and thread in your bolt. 1/4" nutsert and bolt should be perfect.
here, you can see the provision on the 01-05 edge and xlt 4x4 uppers...

Excellent. I dig it.
I'll start procuring parts in the next couple of days. I've always wanted the fog light front end on my truck, and kept putting it off. It'll be a lot cheaper than buying a new truck though. I'm still of the opinion the '01~'03 mesh grille/round fogs is the best looking Ranger front clip so far.
Thanks again!
