Hi All, My white tri bar lights next to the headlights don't come on with either park or head lights. Is it an Eco Boost thing? The other club members ones come on. Mind you, I'm the only Eco Boost member. Surely they are wired somehow for all bodies? Or either they are not really wired or they need to be enabled? Can't find anything about them in the owners manual or YouTube. Nor is there any method of enabling them via the setting up screen. Is there a trick or am I tribarless?
TIA Cheers, Rick.

It is a 2018+ thing. Before that facelift it was absent. I understand that the FM can be modded with aftermarket bits but best you just do a forum search. Unless of course someone who knows what is involved chimes in.

Oh well, yep looks like I am tribarless. I thought that the tri bar was the epitome of the Mustang symbol behind the horse and the lights would even turn on when someone looked at a Mustang! And yet they put them on a car and they don't work? I've seen the youtube clips on retrofitting the funky tribar lights even the red white and blue version but I am reluctant to go that far and pull the whole front of the car off just to put some more lights in/on. Thanks for your reply. Cheers again, Rick.

Hi thanks JuJu for the info. I might wait till I see some cheap or wait till I need new headlights before replacing with this type. Fang goes ok without them but just thought that if they are lights and they were there that they would work somehow. Was only just joking about the job as I am an engineer and guess I could do it. I was just making reference to my other car, a PT Cruiser that has a rather challenging engine bay/front end to work on, lol.
