If you own a 1999 to 2004 Mustang,
then you already know that the headlights
are notorious for doing this-- completely fogging over,
not letting light pass through, and looking like garbage.
Luckily, we have lots of different options to get you
back right, two of which are the Ford original '01 to '04 style
Mustang headlight.
The other one is our aftermarket version of the same light.
What's the difference between the two?
Not a whole lot.
They look almost identical and fit almost identical,
unlike other companies' offerings.
Now, the '01 to '04 style has the black inserts,
giving it a smoked look.
The '99, 2000 is completely chrome on the inside,
giving it a much brighter look.
This '01 to '04 style is the more desirable and most popular
option.
Now, on our aftermarket lights, they
have the factory adjusting points and the factory mounting
points.
Both the Ford original and the aftermarket
don't come with new bulbs or side marker sockets.
You'll have to reuse your originals.
Or if your originals are bad, we have
you covered with new bulbs, new side marker sockets, and even
pigtail connectors for boats, in case
your pigtail connectors are broken.
Let me show you how these things fit in comparison, Ford
versus aftermarket.
Now to, get your janky old headlight out of the way,
you've only got two pins in your way.
Grab hold, and pull straight up, and those pins will let free.
And you can grab hold of the headlight,
wiggle it forward, unplug your headlight bulb,
and then unplug your side marker.
Now, this old headlight, not looking real great.
Now, I want to show you the fit difference between the Ford
original and the aftermarket.
This is the Ford original unit.
Make sure everything's out of the way.
Just kind of slide it into place.
You have complete perfect alignment with the fender.
The seal completely goes around the entire opening.
No fitment issues.
Now, I want to show you the aftermarket unit.
The fact is, before I put that in, I'm
going to go ahead and load the bulbs in.
Because you will need to use your existing bulbs.
On this aftermarket unit, it's got this little wavy metal
washer.
That needs to stay inside the bulb retainer.
That way it keeps tension on the bulb
whenever you twist it into place.
Resisting bulb sockets simply twist into place.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and get our connectors here.
And if your connectors are broken,
we have new pigtail connectors.
You can check out our blog on how
to replace those pigtail connectors.
Get everything plugged back in, and you
can slide the headlight into place.
And again, you have a complete seal around the fender.
Perfect fitment, nothing going wrong here.
Not like a whole lot of the other aftermarket lights
that have a huge gap around the fender area.
