KC Hilites are pretty easy to find online, but I have it on good authority that they are actually poo. I have KC Hilites on my 89 Ford (see my signature picture). They add some foreground lighting, but not much. Yes, they are on a relay and I have a 120 amp alternator.

Are you adding the lights for looks or true function? If you are adding them for function, I suggest you head over to www.danielsternlighting.com and do some reading. He tells you how and where to mount them and what makes a good fog light.

Good Quality Fog and or Driving lites are worth their weight in Gold when adjusted properly.But if their just for looks they shouldn't be hard to find.

Well, if your lights are just for looks, then check out eBay and flea markets and just buy something that you like the looks of. Dan sells top notch quality stuff imported from Europe. He isn't cheap, but his stuff is worth it.

I have no idea. I have never messed with Ford big-block engines. MSD should be able to tell you though.

Just be sure to check your local laws, here in Oklahoma DRIVING lights are not legal on city streets, PERIOD ! They describe fog lights as being mounted UNDER the bumper, if they are on top of the bumper, they are driving lights. . . .
