ok on my 95 gt i installed vertical clear and chrome taillights
first disconnect your battery to minimize risk of shorts. You wil then precede to open the trunk and remove the trunk panneling to access the bolts, you then remove the nuts. The housing should now slide out of position its been there a while u may need to lightly tap on the bolts and wiggle to remove, be careful it is only plastic. You will then need to remove the pigtails, they just twist out of the holes. For my application i needed a new pigtail, the reverse light hole was larger while the stock pigtail was too small, simply go out to a parts store and try out pigtails tell u find the right one that fits, make sure u have clearance because the tail light is snug against the body. I did it the hard way and forgot about the clearance, so i had to use wire cutters to remove the rubber coating so i could get clearance. You can then cut off the old pigtail using wire cutters, then use a coupler to wire the new one to the stock harness. your now ready to tape your wires to prevent shorts and water damage. Tighten the tail light back in the orignal holes but not too tight, once again its only plastic.
If you seem to be losing fuses after your conversion u may have reversed some of the wires, when this happens the light will still work but it will either be brighter or dimmer then the rest of the lights, simple fix just clip off the pigtail and swap the wires.
please send questions to me or add anything i may have forgotten.

Dan, Looking for suggestions on OEM bulb upgrades for 05 GT. I would like more down road range, to spot those deer....I live in the sticks. I would also think about replacement of the fog lights with road lamps if this was the best way to go...Jimmy

Question:
I have just gotten a 95 GT and it is my project car. It will be parked for sometime before I finish all the work needed. I have a cosmetic question. I really like the head lights on the 2000 GT. I was wondering would the head lights from the 2000 bolt into place on the 95?
Thanks for your info ahead of time.

Hi! I was trying to install euro tailights on my 97 mustang, but on the euro tailights. Okay, there's 4 bulbs i gotta put into the euro tailights. BUT
on the euro tailights, there is 3 large open holes, and on the top left corner, that's 1 hole that's smaller than the other three. That 1 hole, I can't fit the 4th light bulb into. Although, beside and underneath that 1 small open hole, that's another imprinted/ shaped opening that's the same size as the other 3 large holes, but it's sealed, and not open. Am i suppose to cut that plastic????? I'm afaid it would crack since it is plastic. Or, am I suppose to somehow use that 4th hole that's open, but it's way too small for the 4th lightbulb to go into it. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO????? Please help! THANX =)
