DOHC,
Did your tails come with a new harness? As far as I can tell, they come tail lamps only? :shrug:

DOHC,

Yea. The new tails have harnesses. You just clip you original with enough room to work and connect the wires according to colors with the '99/'01 one. Then jump the green wire the way I did.
If you have them in front of you it will actually make a lot more sense. Hope that helps.

anyone tinted this type of tail light yet? wanna see pics
I love the 99/01 taillights...I always wondered if I could do something like that...
Any chance you could PM me how you went about getting new ones from Ford? (and the cost?) Or was it as simple as walking into the parts department and ordering them?
(feel free to PM the price anyway).
TIA

I'm so happy I just scored a MINT set of 3K mile 99 Cobra tail lamps today off a wrecked car at an impound lot. While I don't own an 03 Terminator yet I am shopping and these lights were a must have, great write up and now I have them and GREAT instructions !
i would love to that to my car.i think those tail lights look great.
Those have always been my absolute favorite Mustang taillights. I prefer a bit of amber on them to break up all the red.
Very nice!
Very nice!
i have been thinkin about getting these, and getting a custom tint done, leaving the bottom three lights untinted.....the reverse, and 2 amber sections...
I just installed and this writeup was a great guide...however....why do you have to cut the green wire under the dash. I didn't and I noticed they work just fine. when I pressed the brakes the signals were still on etc. can someone please explain exactly what this fixes, enables, or disables by cutting that green wire....also couldn't find the location under the dash of my 03 cobra....thanks
nevermind. figured out why it should be cut. so can someone tell me better then that damn picture which plug and where exactly is it located. the instructions are a little vague in that area. can someone please elaborate a little more on this. thanks
What's the purpose of cutting it? :shrug:
basically when you press the brake, the turn signal lights come on solid. so if you cut the green.....it stops that from happening.
So instead of 3 lamps lighting up with brakes right now it would be only 2 like stock?
I wouldn't mind all 3 :rockon:
no....it lights up the amber turn signal bulbs....not the inside bulbs....
Did this tonight on my Vert...worked first time.
The only thing that your writeup could clarify is that the green connection in the trunk is on the left side.
Also the old harness has 2 wires coming out that go into one on the new one. Or I suppose you could cut one.
But it worked first time, and now I'm going to buy a set for my Coupe.
Thanks a bunch, cause I love the 99/01 lights (almost bought one just for that instead of the 04). Boy what a mistake that would have been *wink* Now I have both.
Plus just think if someone rolls up on you and thinks you're a 99/01.

The brake interrupt wire that needs to be cut is a lot easier to find if you remove the drivers kick panel... there are three harness plugs behind it... The center one with a black male and grey female end is the one you want.. The other two are all black. Disconnect the plug and find pin 12... It's labeled on the back of the plug. Solid green wire. cut and tape out of the way...
Also another flasher part # if you don't feel like paying ford prices for a generic relay... EP-27 from damn near any auto parts store.
