I'd explain it but its a bit difficult. There's some screws that hold on a cover on top of the light....I guess thats some kind of cover for the radiator. U need to undo those...I'm thinking that once u get that off, you should just be able to undo the mounting nuts and stuff from the lights and take them out that way. The turn signal, you just gotta make sure that cover thingy is off and remove the retaining nuts and u should be good to go.

ORIGINAL: nofear2606

i have a 98 GT, i just bought 2 piece projector lights/corners. how do you remove the old lights? corner light comes out in two seconds just have trouble with the head light, the bolt on the inside end of the light i cant seem to get at, you guys have any tricks to replacing headlights in a 94-98?

help would be greatly appreciated!



on my 94 i had a similar problem with the plastic tabs that let you adjust the lights. first you take out the screws that hold down the plastic above the headlights. what i did was i took a hammer and a screwdriver and chiseled off the plastic adjusters because i could not squeez them so they would pop out. the bolt i just used a wrench i think it was 11mm or 12mm or something like that for the bolt. then with the new ones the plastic was not 14+ years old and i could pop the new lights in and out till i got the adjustment right.

Did any one ever reply to this question?  Maybe for 2002?

Has anyone got the plug-n-play sequential taillights for 05/06? Recommended brands? Does it void the electrical portion of the warranty?

I have installed rear tail lights by APC (American Products Company) for a 2006 Mustang V6 and everything lights up however, the 3rd bank above the rear lights (inner lights) on both right and left tail lights do not turn on when I have all the running lights on. I followed the instructions to remove the plug from the socket that is not on and to turn it around and plug it back in. Also upon turning my alarm on and off, looking from the rear, they work. However, not when the running lights are on. Can anyone assist me to trouble shoot this problem. I have tried to contact the manufacurer for tech support and I seem to be getting the voice mail each call. Please advise, thank you. Gee~

If its any help to anyone out there, I got my projector blue ion headlights and LED taillights from a guy that sells both on and off Ebay.  He was GREAT!  Very communicative, helped me find what I was looking for even though it didn't seem to be out there anywhere, and is really reasonable on pricing and shipping.  His Ebay ID is revotec.

Also, for those of you having problems with halo/angel eye lights, I've read/heard from multiple sources that they are "problem children".  Many retailers that I've talked to in the past actually stopped offering them just because of all the returns...

I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't been asked yet:

Is there any known way to tie the heads and the high-beams together such that when the beams are turned on, the headlamps remain on as well? I know my '91 Honda Accord does this and the light pattern is envied by my whole family. :tup: I'd like to figure a way to do this with my dad's '00 V6. If anyone has any electrical insight, please let me know if this might be possible.

Ok here is maybe a dumb question:
I want to relace the headlamps in my 1966. They are 7" round ones. I look around and see that there are both 6014 and 6024's available to drop in fit. What is the difference if any? What other options do I have?

I'm not looking to go to HID or H-4 yet because the wireing will need to be upgraded. I'm just looking to get a little more light than the original "yellow" FORD lamps that are still in the car. It's getting dark earlier and I'd just like a little more driving timeand safety before storing it.

Thanks in advance....
