Anyone know what the lights are for on the inside corners of the upper grill??

The... current generation, that we're all driving. Performance models no of course, but the GT and Ecoboost have had them since '15. In fact, the S650 looks like the first generation without them in a while.



'18s and up have fogs as well—LED, not halogen.

I honestly don't see a ton of them around especially at night so I was not aware. My Mach 1 is my first mustang as well. I just didn't realize they had them way down there on the oem signals.

Nah I getcha, just ribbing. But yes, the S550 on down have had foglights in at least the base and GT trims. They seem to be oddly absent on the S650, from what we've seen. Unless they're somehow integrated into the main headlight unit with some fancy motorized voodoo, we may just be using aftermarkets if we want fogs.

I can't say I'm all too broken up about it myself, but I rarely if ever see fog.

I asked the same thing last week and was informed the fog lights wouldn't be on the pre-production models.

Hmmm. Is that asking one of the Ford suits? If so, might that imply fogs are sticking around in some fashion or another? Or is that the most wishful of wishful thinking?

I just don't see a reason for it most of the time. I don't have them on mine and I do experience thick fog as I'm located right on the north shore on lake superior but fog lights really don't even help anyway when it gets as thick as it does sometimes. Just have to be more cautious or be ready to hit a deer if you want to drive fast.

I saw this explained in a video a while back. It has something to do with the viewing angle. If you're off to the side at a certain angle you need to see 2 lights. It was a way to meet the federal requirements. Now I have to look at the European version to see if it's on there.

Who drives fast in fog??? The folks in most of the multi-car pileups in the fog.

I haven't seen any OEM fogs on any newer car worth anything. In my opinion they are a great decoration. If you want efective fog lighting one needs to get after market from a company that specializes in design and testing. These products won't be cheap costing $250 and up. Back in 69 I installed Cibie fogs on my Mach1 that worked super well.

This video explains it. Warning, it might put you to sleep.

OK, show me where the fog lights are then. I can't find a single photo showing them.

No fog lights on the 24's, it has already been confirmed...

Ugh summary? Lol cant stand that voice

 

[Tommy Nokes]

My wild guess: some regional legislation requiring that both headlights must be visible by onlookers up to a 40 degree angle so as to not confuse cars with bikes.

You are correct!

LOL...I warned you.

I was honestly thinking it was just because it’s a pre production. Model and it was an oversighted light leak but seeing it closer like that.. yeh not sure. Could be entry lights.

Maybe just like running lights after car started which is on most Canadian built vehicles.

 

[LETHAL]

Never seen these till now LOL

If you can see it you’re too close.
