    Nice to see someone do the job of removal and install showing both right and left sides , not skipping ahead and fast forwarding of video, I am going to put the exact same light housing they did on this video, and I use HID aftermarket kits. Nice video thank you .

    Just used this video and it's the best how to video I think I've ever used. Everything was perfect except for not mentioning to reuse the red spacer on the passenger side light. Thank you... minimal effort and saved hundreds I bet.

    • @roncalderaz1744
      @roncalderaz1744 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I caught that also. Fortunately the red spacers can be added after the procedure in video without removing front clip.

    • @roncalderaz1744
      @roncalderaz1744 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      FYI , install the spacers onto bulb fixture, much easier than trying to fit into headlight. Without spacers bulb will most likely vibrate plus let moisture into fixtures.

    Since purchasing my 2006 Stang last October, sir, your videos have helped me so much and recently, I replaced my rear lights with a pair of new ones, and I feel that your step by step tutorial with copious details and approach has been very helpful. BTW, your last vid on the orange Vette was awesome and now, my father wants to get a pony..lol.....Best wishes and will continue to watch your vids.....Jerry from Southern California.

    I really appreciate this video I'm actually jumping backwards from hid to the H13 halogen covers, so I can use plug and play led lamps. this video shows the process very well and its super helpful! I'm not happy with the output of the hid lights my mustang came with I mean they are ok but not near bright enough on these deer covered backroads I drive. so brighter lights are a must. Thanks a again!!

      We usually take the bumper off to get to the small Pony Package fog lights in the grill. The bigger GT fog lights may be different if you can get to the back of them from the top of the engine.

  • @cfcstl
    @cfcstl ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only thing it looks like you forgot was the rubber gasket for the bulb housing. When you remove the old bulb housing there is a red gasket that seals the bulb and puts pressure on the housing as you twist it in the headlight. I just replaced my headlights and I noticed the bulb housing was very loose when installed. Looking at the old headlight I noticed the red gasket stayed with the headlight so I just removed it and put it in the new headlight housing. Now the bulb housing is a little more secure in place.

      @MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The bulbs might be placed wrong in the headlight. Try removing the bulbs and reinserting them. There should be some wiggle room to adjust the bulb when putting it back. If that doesn’t work. You might have to remove the bumper and adjust the position of the light brackets (where the three screws hold the lights in place). Then test the lights to see if they are in the correct position.
