Just an FYI for you cheapos out there like myself. If you have a 93 ranger with fog light(and whatever other years use those fog lights), im sure you have lost the glass piece long ago and now have big gray craters with a rust covered bulb in the middle. I am also sure that you checked everywhere and the cheapest replacement was on ebay for 70$. Rest assured, there is hope for you.

Go to walmart, item #004953803150 on my receipt, $10 each. These fog lamps were the perfect diameter, and the only mod i had to do was unbolt the little swiveling bracket and flip it over and rebolt it. They fit great, seem pretty bright, and look awesome. I will post some before and after pics. :headbang:

You totally just helped me out BIG TIME.

I've wanted a fog light valance and JUST threw out my old regular one, and the only thing holding me back was I couldn't find cheap lights. Thanks!

Would this happen to be on the Walmart website by any chance? Hopefully it's not a local walmart only thing.

What are you going to do about brackets? I've seen people buy the valance, but are stuck since they have no brackets.

another member on here showed me those so i thought i would pass it on. btw its a good idea when doing the fog light mod on a ranger that didnt come with them to get thos instead of the ebay ones because they come with the housings...

if its on the walmart website you can have them ship it to your store for free and pick them up

With these lights i used the old brackets. The lights had a deeper housing but the threaded rod was short, so it worked out they were the same depth. The threaded rod was a little too low for the bracket hole, but if u flipped over the swiveling bracket the threaded rod is in, it lined up perfect.

Those ford brackets are something rugged....i believe they are expensive. If you didnt already have fog lights before then maybe you can find them at the junkyard.

What is the brand name of these lights? (or is it a Wal-Mart house brand?)

It was some no name brand...believe walmart house brand. They were in the fog light section, but i think they called them "utility lights" or something....said they were good for tractors and trucks and anything else you wanted to put them on.

Found the package. They are "Rally manufacturing inc.", NO. 3150......at www.rallymfg.com...unfortunately the website is awful and you cant find the part. The package calls these "55 Watt multi-use utility light, ULTRA BEAM"......LOL gotta love taiwan

Lol, damn you ain't kidding... You'd think if they wanted someone to be able to find info about ANY of their products, they'd maintain a semi-functioning website that actually shows something :rolleyes:

I've seen Rally brand lights before though (I think Autozone sells them too).

Cool that you found something that fits in the stock openings and looks close to OEM too.

I bought mine at O'Reilly auto parts for $10 each, perfect diameter, and I made my own brackets outta 2" flat stock I bought at Tractor Supply, who also have these lights:
