Fog Light Mod: 98-00
Alright, I know I'm asking a question that has been beaten to death here, but it has never really been answered. How do you do a fog light mod on a 2000? I've seen some say bend a pin on the relay, and others say that won't work. Has anyone on here successfully done this on a 98-00 and tell me what all is involved to do it? I have a 2000 and really want to do it so I can use hi-beams and fogs, but I don't want to break off a pin and be stuck without lights. Thanks for any and all answers.

1999~2000 Ranger foglamp mod:
Open the distribution box

Locate the foglamp relay at the rear corner of the box closest to the DS fender
(#10 in the owners manual)

Remove the relay and bend the correct pin as shown. Reinstall.

Map of Distribution Box. The red arrow shows relay #10.

This type of "bent pin" foglamp mod will not work on 2004~2008 nor on 1998 and earlier Rangers.
A short word of warning: It possible that this mod is illegal in some states. Also, if you have headlights, a pair of aux lights and foglamps on at the same time, that adds up to 6 forward facing lights. Most states have laws limiting forward facing lights to a maximum of four. Although it is rare, people on forums have reported being ticketed for running six front lights.
