Wink adding MYCOLOR to your 2010 Mustang!

Whoever can help me with this will be my best friend.. Im new to the forums so I will go ahead and say Hi! My name is Scott Im from New Orleans and I own a 2010 grabber blue mustang gt..

For christmas I decided to purchase Roush Leather Seats with suade in the middle/Eibach Sportline lowering springs/Gt500 speedometer cluster

Problem im having is that..

I recently had the urge to add mycolor to my car since it dident come with it originally. I bought and installed 2010 GT500 gauges and now im stuck at the fact that I do not have the button to control them. I am really not even sure where the buttons should be but I suppose its next to the dimmer to the left so I removed that piece and did not see any loose wiring or etc for a future button. Im still happy with my decision to upgrade my speedometer to a 160mph but it would be nice to get the ambient lighting in the back to kick on aswell.. If anyone can shed any light on this subject that can help me I would really appreciate it.

You can also email me at foxx0020@Hotmail.com

Thank YOU!!

Let us know if that works.....I would like to do the same. How much did the GT 500 gauges cost?

The my color control to change colors is in the electronic dash center. The same place you reset the trip meters from and such. The switch is for fog light control and dimming the dash lights. The easiest way I see to get them is trade for a car with them.....

Yes, the buttons are under the headlight switch..... The attached page that showed what you were looking at did not come up with a new style switch.....it said sale had ended so I did not see what you were getting.

That might work then....
