Okay i have a set of HID headlights, that someone gave me, no harness. I wanted to install the HID assemble with my factory harness and just use one hole, but i could not get the assembly into my car. There is only one hole in the header panel whereas there is two on the light. What do I need to do to get these assemblies into my car. Or... can i switch the glass off of the HID's onto my factory assemblies?

Well hopefully someone can help...

I have aftermarket headlamps that convert our normal mustang headlights to projection.. I changed out the H3 bulbs and boom no more then an hour later one of them goes out.. so i take it all apart again thinking "Wow what a peice of crap bulb", after a while of NOT working I plug my stock headlamp in and still nothing...so that rules out the possibility of the bulb burning out.. its something else not related to the headlamp itself... and now im stumped because the other headlight is working just fine.. Did I short something?... if i did how shall i fix it :P ? are the left and right headlights run on seperate fuses? im sooooo confused.. and most likely really confusing you as well.

if anyone can help! please do asap because I need to be able to drive :'(

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.
NOT GOING TO WORK!
Why wouldn't this work?

I recently installed projector headlights on my 93. There are 8 places for bulbs and I can't figure out how to install the last two small ones on the high/low beam part. Anyone else with this problem?

Personally....if a sn-95 owner converts their tail lights to the 96-98? I think u should be shot. The tail light on a sn-95 are a trademark of the car(in my opinion) !!! My $.02

No more jibberish about this plz...just look at the body styles its obvious that the 2000's light will not fit in the 95! the 95's headlight rounds on the side markers ( not the only difference...) ...the 2000 has a square like end for the side marker....however now that i think about it! In one of the recent 5.0 mag's a guy converted his sn-95 front to a 03 cobra fascia(?) this required extensive sheet metal fab and relocation of pretty much all ur mounts...and to mention a 2000-2004 front bumper!!!!! just get a good pair of clear lens lights or projectors!

I converted my 87GT's tailights from the nasty cheese graters to LX tails. It was simple

1. disconnect the battery
2. Fold back the trunk/hatch liner and remove the spare tire (just incase you drop bolts under there)
3. remove the plastic trim covers that will allow you access to the tailights.
3b - just move the right rear plastic trim out of your way, don't bother disconnecting the harness that connects to the trunk light.
4. simply unscrew the bolts that connect the tailights to the body and unplug the bulbs.
5. Remove the tailights then install the new ones the same way you removed the old ones.

done!

How about putting 87-93 tail lights into a 86?

Help!!!

I'm trying to install some projection headlights on my '94 Mustang. The instructions that came with them are a joke, no info whatsoever. I think I have everything figured out except there are two female connectors on the new wiring harness that look like this:
[IMG]local://upfiles/42969/8624884B39024627868E24C50338AAE2.jpg[/IMG]

The instructions for connecting them only say "to relay". I assume they mean the headlight relay, but I can't find any reference to Mustangs having a headlight relay, what it looks like or where it's located. Please help
