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.

Double check all bulbs to see if there working,some cars (and I think ours)are wired up so that if a bulb blows the blinkers will do that to let ya know.

Blinking real fast equals bulb burnt out or bad connection.

Also, you don't have to run your normal headlights to be able to run your fog lights, you can just have your fog lights, just your headlights, or both on. There is a silver stang aroung here that has blackouts on his headlights and just runs his foglights.

You can just run fogs, turn **** one click, this turns the parking lights on, then pull the ****.
