My daughter has a 95 Ford Mustang with dim headlights. I read somewhere that replacing the headlight relay would help that problem. We bought the relay but now we can't figure out where it goes! We opened the hood, but the switches and fuses there obviously don't go to the headlights because when we unplugged them, nothing happened to the lights. It is probably inside the car? Under the steering column somewhere MAYBE? Does anybody know?

My headlight relay was under the hood on the drivers side up between the headlight and the fuse box. Closer to the fuse box. Mine's a 2001. Mine was buzzing like a bee so figured I'd better replace it.

Well, mom in texas, maybe you should pony up money and go to a mechanic. Seeing as how your first post here(and prob. last) is you asking for help. Why should we help you when you are just a leech, not a contributing member of this society???

that's what online forums are for, douchebag.

Wow, i don't even know what to say about that comment.


But just try to match up the fuse there is only the one right passed the battery and the one under the dash. I believe it is the one under the hood.

Thanks!!

Also are the headlights oxidixed at all? Like as in foggy looking? That can seriously reduce light output esp on older headlights and normally a cheap and easy fix.

99v6 that was quiet rude.

And now for the problem at hand.

94-98 Mustangs are iconic for their incredibly poor ability to light the dark path ahead.
This problem isnt because of a relay or fuse or even the bulbs, its because of the foggy lenses and THEN the bulbs.

The BEST OEM alternative is to buy SN95 Cobra headlights and go with an HID hi/lo kit.
Its costs more than a hand full of relays but the results will have you happy for a very long time. If you have a kickass insurance company they may even lower your rate a couple bux for the increased safety factor.

I like the APC Glass SN95 headlights for clearity and function. They will never haze on you and an HID Kit will push it over the top for visibility. These are a projector style headlight so you will have to get the HID kit that will be legal with them. Call American Muscle for the right kit, I think its just the hi-beam kit you want if I remember right.

Upgrading to a set of Fog Lights will help too, you have all the wiring ready sitting behind the bumper. Just add fog lights, brackets and a switch.
