Default Light Problems

so i literally just bought my car 3 days ago and im a little confused on the lights, so i was hoping that someone here could help me? i got the 05 mustang gt, 5-speed, and it has the 2 big headlights in the center of the grill and well, i dont know how to turn them on. i know thats stupid, but ive seriously tried everything. it could be that they're burned out and i dont know yet, but i think that i just cant find the control or something, anyone know where it is? ok, on to the next question about the lights, my turn signals are different speeds, the right is faster than the left, is it supposed to be that way? if not, do you know how to fix it? THANKS IN ADVANCE

the headlight switch turns and then after you turn it, pull it out towards you. that should turn on the other 2 lights for you. As for the turn signal, mine definately isnt like that, usually to make lights faster like that you replace it with a different kind of bulb.

Just like the rest said, the fog lights (center lights) will cut on if you move the head light switch to the right and then pull out toward you. When you have a signal light blinking faster than the other it generally means you have a burned out bulb somewhere on that particular side. Turn on your blinker and give the car a walk around and you will find you have a bad bulb. Good luck.

the key has to be in the ignition for my fogs to work on my 05 GT, I thought they were burned out when i was toying with the car and made the dealership promise to fix em, but on the drive home, they worked. My 06 pony package, didnt do that, they worked with out the key... Try that...
