Page 2 Read these instructions carefully before installing your Taillights!!! Components included in your kit: Your kit includes 6 Flamethrower LED modules especially designed for your late model mustang. Wire connectors ( 6 ) instructions are also included. Tools Required for Installation: ¼ Drive 11mm Deep Well or 11mm Wrench T-30 Torx Bit with Driver Small Flat Screwdriver
Housing Removal: WWW.MUSTANGPROJECT.COM Page 3 It is not necessary to remove the housing from the car or to disconnect the wire harness. The housing is shown here removed from the car for clarity only. Make sure the lights are turned off and the ignition is off before you proceed further. Remove all of the turn/driving lamps from each housing ( 6 lamps total ).
Page 4 Attach wire tap connectors Start by attaching 1 wire tap connector per car side. It is not necessary to remove the harness from the car or to modify the harness by cutting it in any way. Apply connectors on each side as follows: On one side of the car: Apply a wire tap connector on the Orange/Blue or Grey -stripe wire which exits the middle lamp socket this will be the orange with blue stripe wire which exits the socket near the edge of the socket( see white arrow). Do not attach the wire tap connector to the wire exiting from the middle of the socket or to the black wire exiting the socket. On the other side of the car: Apply a wire tap connector on the Green/Orange -stripe wire which exits the middle lamp socket this will be the green with orange stripe wire which exits the socket near the edge of the socket( see white arrow). Do not attach the wire tap connector to the wire exiting from the middle of the socket or to the black wire exiting the socket.

WWW.MUSTANGPROJECT.COM Page 6 Insert the LED modules as follows: 1) Install the inner most LED module first. All of the LED modules are inserted into the socket so that the microprocessor faces TOWARDS the wires exiting the socket. This module has a black wire and sub-harness connected to it. Insert the module as shown. Be careful to allow the small diameter black wire to exit the housing under the rubber washer so that it is not pinched by one of the locking tabs on the inner socket. 2) Install the middle LED module. Again be sure that the modules are inserted into the socket so that the microprocessor faces TO- WARDS the wires exiting the socket. Install LED Modules:
WWW.MUSTANGPROJECT.COM Page 7 Make Connections: 3) Install the outer LED module in the same way. be sure that the modules are inserted into the socket so that the microprocessor faces TOWARDS the wires exiting the socket. Sub-Harness Connections: Now make the sub harness connections as follows: 1) Connect the black wire from the subharness to the wire tap connector you previously installed on the middle socket. Do this for both housings on each side of the car. The inner LED module sub-harness will connect here as shown. The black wire will exit the most inner lamp socket under the gasket and connect at the wire white/redstripe tap connector. Make this connection on both sides Black of the car white/redstripe Green Green Black
Page 8 1996-2004 Mustang Flasher Installation MP-2004-LED-QK The flasher is located on drivers side of the car next to hump under the dash. Unplug the OEM square 5 pin module and replace. Simply plug-in directly the new module pictured above. The plug cannot be plugged in wrong as it is polarized. Remove OEM flasher and plug new flasher module in here.
Page 9 Test the taillights BEFORE securing the light housings to your car. Before testing complete the installation on both sides of the car. The computer control in the Mustang will have to be reset by removing the negative battery terminal and re-connecting it if testing is not done with both side installed properly. Do all testing with the LED modules installed on both sides of the car. Do not reinstall the housings until testing is complete however. Test as follows: Start the car or turn the ignition to on or accessory. 1) With the headlights off have someone step on the brake. Make sure both sides sequence one and stay on. 2) With the headlights off activate the turn signal on each. Ensure that the taillights sequence from inside to outside. If a module has been placed in the wrong socket you will see improper sequencing order. Just move the module to the correct socket. Remember that the inside socket must hold the LED module with the sub harness connected. 3) Now repeat the above with the headlights on. You will notice that during turn signaling the light sequence from dim to bright this is correct operation. Troubleshooting: 1) Some LED modules do not light. Make sure that you have the modules installed in the right polarity in each socket. The microprocessor must face AWAY from the socket wires. See pictures. 2) Sequencing is in the wrong order. Make sure you have installed the correct modules in the correct socket. GREE N 3) Lamps sequence rapidly but not properly. Make sure the subharness is connected properly. Be ORANGE/BLUE sure the harness connector blades are inserted properly into the wire-tap connectors. A properly inserted connector hides the blade in the wire tap connector BLACK
