In this writeup we go over the installation of a license plate bulb on the S197 Mustang.
Tools Required:
- Flat head screwdriver
First locate the two push pins holding the bulb cover in place. Using your flat head screwdriver, gently pull them out.
Once the pins are removed, grasp the cover as shown below and gently pull down. Do not use much force as the cover will be held to the vehicle with a wiring harness.
The stock bulb is attached to the grey harness. Give it a half turn counter-clockwise to release the harness and bulb from the cover.
To complete the installation, remove the stock bulb and re-install the new LED into the harness and then back into the cover. Finish up by re-attaching the two push pins you removed in step 1. Thats all there is to it. This rather simple mod really livens up an otherwise overlooked area of your ride!
