Don’t forget about the fog light kit! Make sure it’s compatible with the '66 model. What brand are you considering?
You’ll need to wire the lights to a switch inside the cabin. A relay can help manage the power flow. Follow the instructions in your kit carefully!

I’m looking at some retro-style kits. They seem to fit the aesthetic of my Mustang perfectly!
A tip for beginners: take your time with the wiring; color codes are there for a reason! It’s really satisfying when it lights up correctly.
What switch are you planning to use? I recommend a toggle switch for that classic vibe!
Great, I have a relay from my last project. This is coming together!
For a professional finish, make sure to use heat shrink tubing on your connections. It keeps your night rides fog-free without electrical problems.
Definitely! Attention to detail really pays off. You’ll want to double-check everything before sealing it up.

So, are we all clear on the wiring diagram? I always get nervous with that part!
I think I can handle that. Just need to ensure I have the right tools handy!
Remember to test everything before you close the hood and take it for a spin. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself!
That’s a smart idea! I often skip that step; the tubing makes a difference.

Does anyone worry that future fog lights will have superior technology? What if I install these and want to upgrade later?

That’s a fair point! But, at least you will have learned installation skills, no matter what you choose.
For maintaining fog lights on your '66 Mustang, regular cleaning helps a lot. Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away grime and dirt. This keeps the lens clear for maximum light output!

Absolutely! Don’t forget to check the electrical connections too. Loose connections can lead to dim lights or total failure.
Cleaning the fog lights is important, but make it a habit to check the wiring as well. Corroded wires can be a real nuisance. A visual inspection goes a long way!
I agree! And if your fog lights suddenly get dim, a quick fix could be to simply replace the bulbs. Sometimes, it’s just that easy!

True! But also consider checking the fog light relay. It can affect performance if it’s faulty.
If you’re troubleshooting, remember to look for blown fuses as well. That’s a common issue for fog lights not turning on at all.
