My stupid stock fogs were never bright enough to tell..but these Roush lights are bright at hell. I can drive with my headlights off with just parking lights and fogs and they are just as bright as normal headlights, if not brighter. It sure would be nice to have all of them working on these dark ass roads around here.

There is a solution that fixes this problem.
Remove your fog light relay under your hood and cut the tab as shown in the pics, it works AWESOME!!

I'venoticed some 99-04 GT's drivin around with their headlights on normal, but their fogs are off. I can turn the fogs off, but only by holding in the fog button by the TCS button. Are there some GT's that can have their fogs stay on/off with just pushing the button?

Yeah, i thin ki remember hearing that it was a legal thing... NY has a law that they two cant be on at the same time or some garbage. My old V6 could have the fogs runnign at the same time, or without my corners on, because of the way it was wired. Does cutting that relay off of our GT's allow us to have just fogs on without corner 'parking' lights?

I gave up on my foglights after I went through 3 bulbs in 4 months.

Stop touching them with your fingers as you install them.

You could also try this method. It is basically rewiring your switch.

Go to the exterior section, then rewire 99 cobra foglights

I did this mod back when I first got my car. Coupled with my other "Light" modification, I don't have ANY problem seeing when my highbeams are on.
