Hi, smokey.

This problem with overheating of components using the fogs is apparantly very common. even I had a bad headlight switch on my 35th that showed up after about a month. I went this direction, http://www.35ththunderbirdregistry.org/Tips/RewireFogs.htm to remedy my problem after getting a new switch. There is a general changeover of sorts for the headlights you might consider also at http://www.supercoupeperformance.com/Miscellaneous.htm and scroll down to the High Performance Headlight Package for 1989 to 1993 Thunderbirds & Cougars. This eliminates the factory design fault.

I hope this helps.
