STEP 1: Remove and Prepare Housings:
Microprocessor
1) Remove the right and
left housings being
careful to remove the
lamp sockets from there
holes. You will not re-
move the wiring har-
ness or cut any wires.
2) Pop the lens from each
hosing. Metal clips
hold the lens on with
friction. Simply pry the
lens from the housing
being careful not to
damage the lens or
housing.
3) Using the template be-
low drill 5 holes. 4 of
the holes are 1/8 inch
with one larger 1/2 inch
hole. Be sure and posi-
tion the template so that
the larges hole is next
to the large reflector or
the outside of the hous-
ing.
4) Mount the LED panels
ensuring that the three
lead wires pass through
the 1/2 inch hole. See
white arrow. Use the
included #4 washers
and nuts to secure the
board assembly from
the back of the housing.

STEP 2: Attach wire tap connectors:
1) You will attach three wire-tap connectors
of each side of the rear of the car.
2) First attach a wire tap connector to the
black wire exiting the turn signal lamp
socket ( amber light). Attach one on
each side of the of the car.
3) Second attach a wire tap connector to the
ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on the turn
signal lamp socket on the right hand
side of the car. Attach a wire tap connec-
tor to the LT GREEN/ORANGE stripe on
the turn signal lamp socked on the left
hand side of the car. Remember the left
hand side of the car is always the driver’s
side for US cars.
4) Thirdly attach a wire tap connector to
the BROWN wire on the BRAKE light
socket. The wire color is the same for
both sides of the car.
Summary: You will now have 6 wire tap
connectors attached to the rear wiring har-
ness (three on each side) as follows:
Right side:
• Black wire of turn signal light.
• ORANGE/LT BLUE stripe wire on turn
signal light.
• Brown wire of brake light.
Left side:
• Black wire of turn signal light.
• LT GREEN/ORANGE wire on turn signal
light.
• Brown wire of brake light.

Simply connect each wire from each
lamp housing as follows:
Right side module/housing:
1) Connect the green wire to the wire
tap connector you placed on the
ORANGE/LT BLUE wire.
2) Connect the red wire to the wire tap
connector you place on the BROWN
wire.
3) Connect the black wire to the wire
tap connector you placed on the
black wire.

2) Connect the red wire to the
wire tap connector you place on
the BROWN wire.
3) Connect the black wire to the
wire tap connector you placed
on the black wire.
Be sure and wrap each connector in
electrical tape before final installation
of the flasher module.

First we will remove the old
original flasher module. The
original flasher module will
be located on the driver side
of the car near the fire wall as
shown on the following pic-
ture.
The installation procedure is
as follows:
1) Remove the existing
flasher module
2) Connect the new flasher
wires red and greed to
the Mustang’s wiring pre-
viously removed.
3) Connect the black
“ground” wire from the
new LED flasher module
to a good chassis ground-
ing point.
Simply unsnap the cylinder
shaped module and remove
the push on connectors.
These will be attached with a
light blue and a purple/
orange stripe wire.
The Mustang Project LED
flasher module has three
color coded wire leads. Red,
Green, and Black.
Once you remove the old
module install the new LED
flasher module by simply
plugging in the red wire to
the Mustang’s Purple/
Orange stripe wire and the
green wire to the Mustang’s
Light blue wire.
You now have only to attach
the black wire to a convenient
chassis ground point.
A likely place to connect the
black ground wire will be
under a mounting screw on
the dash or on any metal part
screwed under the dash.
Just make sure that there is a
good electrical connection
between the black wire and
the cars chassis.

Step 4: Install Flasher Module Test the taillights BEFORE
securing the light housings to
your car.

Before testing complete the
installation on both sides of
the car. The computer con-
trol in the Mustang may have
to be reset by removing the
negative battery terminal
and re-connecting it if test-
ing is not done with both
side installed properly.
Do all testing with the LED
modules installed on both
sides of the car. Do not rein-
stall the housings until test-
ing is complete however.
Troubleshooting:
Some LED modules do not
light. —
1) Be sure the connector
blades are inserted
properly into the wire-
tap connectors. A prop-
erly inserted connector
hides the blade in the
wire tap connector. En-
sure that the black wire
from each LED module is
properly connected.
2) Problem: Lights
flicker. Flickering lights
are often caused by fail-
ing alternators or bad
regulators. The alterna-
tor may still function well
enough to marginally
charge the battery but
diode failure in the alter-
nator can cause flickering
taillights. It is also possi-
ble that the regulator is
failing. The original
Mustang electro-
mechanical regulators
are famous for unusu-
ally failures. Always
replace your regulator
with a Motorcraft direct
replacement regulator
available at most auto
parts stores. If you
suspect a regulator or
alternator problem you
need to replace these
items before you car is
stranded! Doing so
will also prevent flick-
ering of the LED tail-
lights.
3) Problem: Taillights
don’t sequence but do
light if headlights are
on. Most likely this is
due to a bad connec-
tion at the wire tap. It
can also be caused by
incorrect installation of
the Mustang Project
flasher module or im-
proper connection of
the flasher module
ground.
