How to Replace a 1999-2004 Ford Mustang Tail Light & Bulb 2

[livingdeadgirl51]

LS, Thanks for posting this. I thought it was going to be a lot harder to do the way you explained everything. It was a pretty simple. cut and dry repair. I didn't even have to take the whole trunk cover off either. It actually got me motivated to change the trunk lights and both fogs lights. Not bad for a chick huh? Off to the performance shop now. Thanks Again.

@livingdeadgirl51 I felt the same way until I became determined to figure out how to take it apart and put it back together again. I was surprised how much work it takes to get the lights replaced, but when you take a step back and look at it, it isn't too bad! I'm glad this worked out for ya, and congrats on getting the trunk and fog lights done too! I need to replace my license plate lights soon. You are very welcome.

Omgosh. I spent one hour trying to get the headlight off and had to give up because of the washer on the top. Mine look welded on. I am so frigging mad. It's just the right rear blinker is out.

@amarige25 Oof, I'm sorry to hear about that! That's weird, it should just slide right out.

Thx for posting. It was helpful. Specialized tools make the job a little easier but cost bucks. I've changed tail lights in a dozen different cars over the years but never one so difficult to get to - Dern Ford engineers!

@whitelight512  This video was very helpful!!!!

[LordSephiros]

@whitelight512 Hah! They seem to make it tough for people to do it on their own so you gotta take it to the dealership.

[LordSephiros]

@shibbynuts2004 Oof, um I think it might be easy.. I haven't tried it yet though.

Good video, I had to do some work on the wiring system in my '83...

By the way, you sound a lot like Eric from That 70's Show :D

[LordSephiros]

@reptar1994 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat no way man

FYI The bottom bulb is not a 3157 it is a 3156. The 3157 have two elements so they can function as a tail light and a brake light, the 3156 has one element and is your back-up light

Been doing some research and the K is pretty important on a signal/brake. dbl filament bulb. Just an FYI for anyone trying to save a buck on cheap bulbs

little note. before putting everything back together, check your lights to make sure everything is installed properly. you dont wanna put it all back together and have your light not working haha

[LordSephiros]
