Default Front fog light wiring - 4x4 or 2wd - the same??
Guys, my front foglights are disconnected, have been since a respray and new front bumper. The wiring that seems to be "spare" doesn't match up. Was there a difference in connectors in 2WD & 4x4 Sapphires?? If so this would explain the mismatched connectors on the replacement bumpers.

cant see a reason why ford would change the wiring to something so trivial as fog lights - i'm sure they are all female connectors on the wiring side and spades on the fog lights - going from memory here tho!

you get a live feed when the fogs are on
they earth back through the chassis of the holder and then onto the body

They changed the connectors on some for the headlight wiper motors, so anything is possible.
