Is it time for new headlights for your fox body? It was for me.
As you can see by the picture this coupe's lights need refreshing. I was sure I was going back with the factory six piece kit that we sell. However, I was in receiving the other day and saw some different options. The one piece Mustang headlights in black, chrome, and smoke. Let's see how they look on the car and how installation goes.
Smoked - 1987-93 Mustang Smoked One Piece Headlight Kit - SDT-13007A - $174.99
Chrome - 1987-93 Mustang Chrome One Piece Headlight Kit - SDT-13007C - $174.99
Black - 1987-93 Mustang Black One Piece Headlight Kit - SDT-13007B - $174.99
They all look good and give an updated look to the 87-93 Mustang. The installation does require some wiring of the parking lamps and side markers. The headlight is just plug and play. Depending on your year model Mustang you may need parking light bulbs. The headlight kit does include new headlight bulbs.
Here is how I did the wiring. I chose to retain the factory wiring and sockets in case I ever want to go back to the original style, may be a while these look good, anyway that's why I used the quick connects available at your local hardware store. You can do it this way or cut and splice it's up to you.
First remove the old lights, there are three nuts on the headlight and two on each on the side marker and parking light. An 11mm ratchet is your best friend here.
Now on to the wiring as stated the headlights just plug in so we will look at the side markers first. The new wiring is included in the headlight kit.
Black wire to Black and White to Brown it's the same on both driver and passenger side.
Now on to the parking lamps, passenger side
Yellow to brown, black to black, green to yellow w/ green stripe.
Driver side parking lamp
Yellow to brown, black to black and green to green.
Only thing left to do now is to plug the sockets into the new headlight and install. The one piece headlight only has four nuts that hold it in place. The headlight fits into the factory location with no modification needed.
I have to say that I'm impressed with the fitment and ease of installation and the look.
If you want to update the front of your fox give this a shot!
