What kind of set up goes in the fog light holes? I have the fog light housing but no wires or the little thing that twists in and holds the bulb. What else can I get those from if I can not find a Ranger at the junkyard? Will an explorer fog light holder twist in thing work on the Ranger housing?

 

Anyone have a clue? I would like to go to the junkyard tomorrow if I can.

 

Just go to a auto parts store and ask for a connector for a 9145 bulb. The bulb twist in to the housing the the pigtail plugs into it.

 

these should be the bulbs it takes.

 

Ok, cool thanks. You wouldn't happen to know if they are they same as the exploder though would ya? I can get them for free if I go get them but dont want to drive up there if they are wrong.

 

Ya, explorers should be the same, I believe almost all fords in that year range used 9145 bulbs in fogs. Don't touch the glass bulb though, there halogens.

 

Ok, cool. Then when I go I will just grab as many as I can to make sure I get a good one. Will the bulbs be ok in my pocket?

 

I'd brab a plastic bag, the bulbs are real heat sensitive, just like headlight bulbs. You get some type of oil on the bulb and the oil acts like an insulator and the bulb can burst while on, in a few minutes after using.

 

Like a Ziploc bag.

 

Ok, thats what I planned on doing.

 

Then you'll be fine.

 

Stealing bulbs from a junkyard...tisk tisk...lol

 

Dude, that is nothing. You have no idea what stuff I take from there. I already have to pay a $2 fee to get in.

 

IIRC its a 9004 for the fogs on 99.

At least mine are.

I have seen the pig tails come with new housings.

It was a joke, hence the lol at the end. If it fits in your pocket its free is what a lot of the JYs have told me.

 

I know dude. I wasn't saying that in a serious tense. I'm just saying that bulbs are nothing. I have taken probably around 100 fuses, hubcap, instument cluster inside parts, gas caps, *****, switches, horn pumps, stuff like that. Next will be the radio bezel in the back of my shirt under my coat.

 

lol

I'm going to make me a pair of pants that I can fit some 16" wheels in the pockets. lol

 

I could get better stuff but this place checks your tool boxes before you go in. It ok though, I buy a ton of big price stuff from them and they kinda know me there so.

 

I'm just saying but why don't you just pay for the big stuff? I got charged 5 bucks for my radio bezel.

 

The Jy I go to Everything is on computer and cleaned, it looks like a huge Walmart full of car parts. In the back there are a couple lifts to either take the new cars apart or put the part on for you. Its sick but cant steal anything there

 

I do pay for the big stuff. Recently, whole instrument cluster, power door motor and rail(forgot I took the switch), class III hitch for a project of mine, hopefully soon a rear end.

 

Ok, went to the junkyard today. I got to bulbs, some wiring, and a right housing. I actually bought the housing, it was $10. Some how the wiring and bulbs fell into my pocket?

Here is my old right housing. No black twist thing and two of the ears were broken off for the screw.


New one


Wiring


Lights

 

Ok, I am having some problems mounting my bumper now with the fog lights. Since I have a BL, what do I need to trim to get this thing on? I really need to get this stupid thing back on this evening so if anyone can help, thanks.
