MUSTANG PROJECT STEP 1: Remove and Prepare Housings: Microprocessor 1) Remove the right and left housings being careful to remove the lamp sockets from there holes. You will not re- move the wiring har- ness or cut any wires. 2) Pop the lens from each hosing. Metal clips hold the lens on with friction. Simply pry the lens from the housing being careful not to damage the lens or housing. 3) Using the template be- low drill 5 holes. 4 of the holes are 1/8 inch with one larger 1/2 inch hole. Be sure and posi- tion the template so that the larges hole is next to the large reflector or the outside of the hous- ing. 4) Mount the LED panels ensuring that the three lead wires pass through the 1/2 inch hole. See white arrow. Use the included #4 washers and nuts to secure the board assembly from the back of the housing.

Attach one on each side of the of the car. 3) Second attach a wire tap connector to the ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on the turn signal lamp socket on the right hand side of the car. Attach a wire tap connec- tor to the LT GREEN/ORANGE stripe on the turn signal lamp socked on the left hand side of the car. Remember the left hand side of the car is always the driver’s side for US cars. 4) Thirdly attach a wire tap connector to the BROWN wire on the BRAKE light socket. The wire color is the same for both sides of the car. Summary: You will now have 6 wire tap connectors attached to the rear wiring har- ness (three on each side) as follows: Right side: Black wire of turn signal light. ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on turn signal light. Brown wire of brake light. Left side: Black wire of turn signal light. LT GREEN/ORANGE wire on turn signal light. Brown wire of brake light.

STEP 1: Remove and Prepare Housings:

Microprocessor

1) Remove the right and

left housings being

careful to remove the

lamp sockets from there

holes. You will not re-

move the wiring har-

ness or cut any wires.

2) Pop the lens from each

hosing. Metal clips

hold the lens on with

friction. Simply pry the

lens from the housing

being careful not to

damage the lens or

housing.

3) Using the template be-

low drill 5 holes. 4 of

the holes are 1/8 inch

with one larger 1/2 inch

hole. Be sure and posi-

tion the template so that

the larges hole is next

to the large reflector or

the outside of the hous-

ing.

4) Mount the LED panels

ensuring that the three

lead wires pass through

the 1/2 inch hole. See

white arrow. Use the

included #4 washers

and nuts to secure the

board assembly from

the back of the housing.

STEP 2: Attach wire tap connectors:

1) You will attach three wire-tap connectors

of each side of the rear of the car.

2) First attach a wire tap connector to the

black wire exiting the turn signal lamp

socket ( amber light). Attach one on

each side of the of the car.

3) Second attach a wire tap connector to the

ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on the turn

signal lamp socket on the right hand

side of the car. Attach a wire tap connec-

tor to the LT GREEN/ORANGE stripe on

the turn signal lamp socked on the left

hand side of the car. Remember the left

hand side of the car is always the driver’s

side for US cars.

4) Thirdly attach a wire tap connector to

the BROWN wire on the BRAKE light

socket. The wire color is the same for

both sides of the car.

Summary: You will now have 6 wire tap

connectors attached to the rear wiring har-

ness (three on each side) as follows:

Right side:

• Black wire of turn signal light.

• ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on turn

signal light.

• Brown wire of brake light.

Left side:

• Black wire of turn signal light.

• LT GREEN/ORANGE wire on turn signal

light.

• Brown wire of brake light.

MUSTANG PROJECT

Simply connect each wire from each

lamp housing as follows:

Right side module/housing:

1) Connect the green wire to the wire

tap connector you placed on the

ORANGE/LT BLUE wire.

2) Connect the red wire to the wire tap

connector you place on the BROWN

wire.

3) Connect the black wire to the wire

tap connector you placed on the

black wire.

Left side module/housing:

1) Connect the green wire to the

on the ORANGE/LT BLUE wire.

2) Connect the red wire to the

wire tap connector you place on

the BROWN wire.

3) Connect the black wire to the

wire tap connector you placed

on the black wire.

Be sure and wrap each connector in

electrical tape before final installation

of the flasher module.

First we will remove the old

original flasher module. The

original flasher module will

be located on the driver side

of the car near the fire wall as

shown on the following pic-

ture.

The installation procedure is

as follows:

1) Remove the existing

flasher module

2) Connect the new flasher

wires red and greed to

the Mustang’s wiring pre-

viously removed.

3) Connect the black

“ground” wire from the

new LED flasher module

to a good chassis ground-

ing point.

Simply unsnap the cylinder

shaped module and remove

the push on connectors.

These will be attached with a

light blue and a purple/

orange stripe wire.

The Mustang Project LED

flasher module has three

color coded wire leads. Red,

Green, and Black.

Once you remove the old

module install the new LED

flasher module by simply

plugging in the red wire to

the Mustang’s Purple/

Orange stripe wire and the

green wire to the Mustang’s

Light blue wire.

You now have only to attach

the black wire to a convenient

chassis ground point.

A likely place to connect the

black ground wire will be

under a mounting screw on

the dash or on any metal part

screwed under the dash.

Just make sure that there is a

good electrical connection

between the black wire and

the cars chassis.

Step 4: Install Flasher Module Test the taillights BEFORE

securing the light housings to

your car.

BLACK

Before testing complete the

installation on both sides of

the car. The computer con-

trol in the Mustang may have

to be reset by removing the

negative battery terminal

and re-connecting it if test-

ing is not done with both

side installed properly.

Do all testing with the LED

modules installed on both

sides of the car. Do not rein-

stall the housings until test-

ing is complete however.

Troubleshooting:

Some LED modules do not

light. —

1) Be sure the connector

blades are inserted

properly into the wire-

tap connectors. A prop-

erly inserted connector

hides the blade in the

wire tap connector. En-

sure that the black wire

from each LED module is

properly connected.

2) Problem: Lights

flicker. Flickering lights

are often caused by fail-

ing alternators or bad

regulators. The alterna-

tor may still function well

enough to marginally

charge the battery but

diode failure in the alter-

nator can cause flickering

taillights. It is also possi-

ble that the regulator is

failing. The original

Mustang electro-

mechanical regulators

are famous for unusu-

ally failures. Always

replace your regulator

with a Motorcraft direct

replacement regulator

available at most auto

parts stores. If you

suspect a regulator or

alternator problem you

need to replace these

items before you car is

stranded! Doing so

will also prevent flick-

ering of the LED tail-

lights.

3) Problem: Taillights

don’t sequence but do

light if headlights are

on. Most likely this is

due to a bad connec-

tion at the wire tap. It

can also be caused by

incorrect installation of

the Mustang Project

flasher module or im-

proper connection of

the flasher module

ground.
