[QUOTE="Matt M PA, post: 3496511, member: 10990"] Okay….can’t give you all the answers…but can get you on your way. I recently installed a set of older Econoline tail lights with the amber turn sigs on my Excursion. I think you also need a special flasher as well, but if you can wire it the way I have shown below…I’d bet it’s not needed. I am guessing at this, but it is working in my Excursion…I cannot see why it would not work on a Mustang. Your mileage may vary…be careful. First, you need to be acquainted with the tail light circuit. At your tail lights there is a two filament bulb and socket. On this, you will see a “minor” circuit that is for your parking lights. The “major” side handles the brake and turn sigs. And of course, a ground. The sockets are marked. On my Ex, I cut the original “major” side wire, and then attached this to the new turn sig socket. A new ground was also put in for the new turn sigs. I then ran a new brake light feed from my CHMSL to both tail lights “major” side that was previously cut. Here’s where it gets tricky. Your brake pedal switch handles the on and off for the CHMSL, brake lights, etc. You need to find out which wire feeds the brake light circuit only….on my Ex, it was a green wire on the column. This signal needs to be stopped or your turns sigs will light up with the brake lights. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
