For the 97-98 trucks, yes. I sometimes see the expeditions with the correct bumper for the fogs, but have 2 plastic inserts in place of the holes.

And I seriously don't need fog lights, the headlights are brand new (put on my departed '97 2 weeks before it died) and inside they contain GE Nighthawk Platinum bulbs....BLIPPIN BRIGHT !
97/97 had the same bumper and grille setup.

You'd really think bright if you had lightning lights and some fog lights. Night and day brighter than upgraded bulbs in factory fluted lenses. But a retrofit and LED fogs will put all that to shame lol

Yeah, I know, that's what I was saying.

Why not just find a 4x4 bumper with the foglights in it already...I'm pretty sure the wiring is in place already and the headlight switch is fog light spec...not sure though.

Why did I buy another F150...lol loved my lil '97 Scab 4.2...went well, got decent mileage...then it dies and I go get a V8 and go up a trim level...Goes like stink and still gets mileage close to what the V6 did...if I stay off the loud pedal !

You could do that too, I just suggested that first as it was cheaper

If you saw how bright Brownings lights were side by side with say mine you would cry. Technology has came so far since 97 the l heads alone are 10x brighter than regular cause their clear.

Lightnings on my buddy's truck compared to stock lenses. The clear lense gives a much cleaner and focused beam pattern, best setup for these trucks next to a retrofit

And my projector retrofit with LED fog lights compared to my F-250's halogen's hahaha puts it to shame
