tailight swap

[Brightersiderock]

I recently bought a set of 1996 tailights for my 94 GT, and i was wondering if it is just an easy swap or do i have to buy a new wiring harness or anything like that?

No you need a 96-98 tail light harness .Go to the junk yard and take the harness out of a 96-98 car.

Yes, what he said. :thumb: I got my tail lights from a junk yard. The harness unplugs right inside the trunk. Other than that, the tail lights bolt right in and the harness has the same connector. Only takes a few min to swap out once you have the harness.

You shouldn't be switching them!!! It's what makes out cars special, I think!

Yeah, change the tail lights to the bubble lights. An while you're at it, change all your badges to cobra ones, put on some "type-r" stickers, and put a supra wing on the back.

Just kidding, but seriously, like someone posted above, don't change them. The '96-'98 tail lights don't look near as good as the '94-'95 lights. :coolsmiley:

The 5.0 makes our cars special, Mustangs are supposed to have vertical tail lights. vertical ftw!

Maybe so, but 94-95's are supposed to have horizontals. Still, I don't know what it is, but when I see the 96-98 "bubble" lights, the first thing that comes to mind is they're girly. :dunno: Weird, huh?

If you want to go that route, the whole SN95 body style is "girly" because it's so round. New edge look way more manly but that's a weak reason to pick one over the other.

I agree. I personally like our tails better.

im going to have to say s

 

[MuscleMustang95]

i mean stay with the stock 94 95 tail lights

 

[Brightersiderock]

okay so i tested out the left taillight today and it lights up and everything but when i use the blinker it goes extremely fast, as if the fuse is blown but when i connect it back to the old taillight it works properly. anyone know why this might be and how i can fix it?

 

[Brightersiderock]

any ideas?

 

[Javi]

did you get the 96-98 wiring harness,right?


the 96-98 lights have a flasher on the inside of the car unless you get it and hook it up i dont know what to do :dunno:

 

[BlackCobra50]

one of the bulbs are blown

 

[OnyxCobra]

one of the bulbs are blown

my guess also, or it's not in the harness all the way.
