I saw some decent looking lights at Autozone the other day.Can't remember the name.Just measure what you need,and go buy some replacements.If your current lights are ,cut the plugs off of them connect them to the new lights,then you can just bolt them down and plug them in to the current harness plugs.Probably $25.00 or so will have you all fixed up.Maybe less if you shop around.

I don't have any, the wires are there but no voltage reading at either side, so I unpluged the dash switch, there are three wires, red, green and black, could not get a reading here either, checked the fuse, it looked good and switched it out, still nothing, maybe not checking correct...also the auto lights are not working, (but the other switches, manual light dash dim and headlight auto dim all work).

Bad switches wouldn't stop voltage from getting to them would it?

Do you know hoe much voltage should be there and what wires to check?

you are checking foglight voltage with the headlights on right? my tc didn't have any voltage and nobody at the time could shed anylight on where to look for the problem so I ran new wires. In my red tc I used the walmart foglights, they fit fine if you drill a mounting hole in the lower part of the bracket since they mount from the bottom.

Harbor Freight has a set of cheap-o fog lights for 9.99 (with cupon). I bought a pair for my 83 (since I put a tc bumper on and now I need something to fill the fog light holes). Comes with a switch and wiring.

No word on how well they work, but I bought 'em.

In my experience cheap fogs are worthless. Get something worthwhile. I have a pair of hella ff75 driving lights and they are brighter than the high beams. I have them on a relay (that they came with, good lights come with a relay) wired up to the high beam power and theyre awesome at night.

As far as closest to stock appearance the Blazer lights at walmart are the closest Ive seen.

I've got the Blazer lights in my T-Bird. Not exactly like stock, but probably about as close as you'll get without finding NOS lights...

i got a set of lights for my TC called OE lights and they look virtually identicle to the stock lamps.
The come in white or yellow(got the yellow ones personally)but they are the exact size.
They mount a little differently but all you have to do is tweak the bracket slightly and drill a hole.
They where about 30 cdn and can be had from your local parts source(i think you guys in the states have those).
