Well I wasn't really sure where to put this, so i'm sticking it here, and if the Mod moves it to the right place, thank you.

2 questions, the person who owned my car had the fog lights rigged into the running lights, this eventually melted the plastic piece in which the headlamp switch plugs into. I replaced that but I am now having problems with my dimmer switch. I took the whole console apart and everything. A fuse was also blown which i replaced and the cluster lights work now. Oh i also hooked up the fog lights seperatly so they work by there selfs now. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this. My dimmer switch will switch the dome light on, when it is clicked into the furthest position to the right. When i disable that, by turning the switch to the left, the cluster goes out. And it won't work all the way through the turning unless I turn the dome on and slowly turn the switch to the left, so that the dome light goes off, on which my cluster stays on. I took a look at the dimmer switch (my apologies, it's actually called a Reohstat control. might of spelled that first one wrong) the coil that goes around the inside looks fine. I cleaned all the contacts with very very very fine sandpaper cuz they looked a little scared. I also tested the switch for continuity and it works fine. So does anyone know what's going on? Maybe it melted some wires or something? i'm not really sure.

Sorry, forgot the second question, does anyone know where I could find a new front bumper, I don't really care if it's OEM as long as it's the stock bumper. I would just like to get it cheaper then $300 from the local dealer here. Also, i would like to replace the dimmer switch and the headlamp/foglight switch, any idea where i could look for one? Thanks again

Honestly, I don't care if it's new or used, OEM or aftermarket. I just want something to replace it. I'd even be happy getting something in a different color then having it painted. It's just something that had really pi$$ed me off for awhile. Also, you have any idea where i could get a new glass coverpiece for my foglight? Unfortunatly my left fog light is cracked right from the center into 3 different pieces.

I think all FOX's have that problem with the dimmer switches. I know both of my stang's do the same thing, as well as a few friends of mine stangs's. As far as bumpers, check Mustangs Unlimited, they have aftermarket and OEM bumper covers to choose from. Also I think Age Classic Designs have realitively cheap stuff too.

Is there a web page for Age Classic Designs? Thanks
