I know this gets talked about from time to time.  I would be surprised if
Ford took to the time to swap these sensors around, but hey...
There is actually a very easy way to tell which is which.  On my 92, there
is a small plastic grate type opening right in front of the driver.  In
daylight, take something like your work badge or such and lay it over the
opening to cover it up.  You should see your lamps come on in a few
moments.

As an aside, I rented a Hyundai XG 350 recently.  For the money a very
nice car for an automatic.  This car also had autolamps but the darn
things would kick on even if you drove under an overpass for a matter of
seconds.  Quite annoying.  The ones for the SHO work perfectly.
