I have a 88 GT.The wiring is original.For some reason my dim lights work fine but when I turn either my brights or my fog lights at various times all my lights will go out.I turn them off then back on and they work again????? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

check your light switch or dimmer switch thats usually the problem

install a relay for your foglights so they don't overload the switch, our cars are famous for that problem. Do check the switch too, if it hasn't been replaced yet, the wires could be melted. Definitely do the relay though! I've had mine in for 5 years and never a problem again!
