Okay, after finally seeing a few of these '06 Pony grills in person, I finally decided I like it... Now, the question I have is about the wiring actually for the mini fogs... Is this the same wiring as the GT fogs or is it a seperate wiring (since the normal V-6's don't have this particular wiring)... I am guessing it's the same as the GT, but I would like some sort of confirmation on that if possible.

I ask since I can find the Pony Grills on Ebay with wiring harnass all ready to go in a package, but the problem with that is that I only would need the wiring harnass since I can get the grill and GT light switch pretty cheap. If I have to buy it as a package for the wiring, I will, but if I don't have to, I don't want to...

Plus, I think it would be pretty neat to see a Mineral Grey with the Pony Grill...

Front wiring harness needs to be swapped out, I do not have the exact part number but assume it is the same. Check with kc, he can get you more info.

Just an aside, it may be beneficial to get an aftermarket harness in pace of the factory due to reprogramming issues with the Smart Junction Box. Adding fog lamps to the Mustang utilizing factory parts is not a plug and play deal.

PM me if you need any additional help.

 

i just installed mine and made my own harness, prettry easy.

 

I don't want to use the factory harnass since I have heard of all the troubles with the GT, but I know the guys that sell it on Ebay have made their own *auxillary* harnass that plugs straight from the GT fog switch to the fuse box to the lamps... My question is if I can get that harnass without the kit...

Looks nice! Does the harnass you made plug into the factory GT fog light switch or did you wire it up differently?

How Much did the grille cost??

 

my v6 did not have the gt fog light pigtails so i just made my own and went to the parking light circuit

$195 for the grill, 2 fogs, 2 short pigtails from the fog lights to the factory harness (which i didn't have), and the screws to mount the fogs to the grill. all ford oem parts too.

 

You definitely want to reconsider that. The parking lamp circuit is not stout enough to handle the power requirements to drive the fog lamps. Overheating of the wiring can cause a fire and possible damage to the smart junction box or underhood fuse panel. Rewire the circuit and use a relay in the circuit.
Just trying to be helpful.

 

The parking lights have a low current draw. Your fog lights may eventually overload the wiring and cause problems because the higher load will heat the wires up.
If you want them on whenever your running lights are on, the best thing to do would be to install a relay, running a hot lead from the battery , and activating it with the power from the parking lights. That way the load won't affect your other wiring and you can get a relay pretty cheap.

 

Agreed-good sugestion!

 

you took my idea of the grille on MG :P

TRMN8TR - where did you get all the parts needed?
