Looking for EU LED DRL's?

[Manders Mustang]

Did they just get posted through the letterbox or did you have to sign?
I am away in my motorhome at the moment so don't know if they are there!
Doing a tour of the west country thought I would donate a couple of quid to the RNLI for every s550 I see .. been traveling a lot and down as far a Mevagissey not seen one yet! Did see an older stang in Looe yesterday so will include that one!

Mine were posted through the letterbox :lol:

Mine too.
If you've only ordered the DRLs they come in a small slim box.

Hopefully the slight issue with the slack fitting middle pushpin on some cars after fitting the LEDs will be resolved by now.

Might explain why mine fell out... They're dirt cheap to get, found some in my garage but they're filthy cheap from Halfords if you lose any...

I know Manders put together a work through when fitting these but I feel there were a couple of bits that needed to be expanded and/or added to, especially how to get the grey connector off;

1) Turn your wheels full lock to the left (to aid driver's side access) and turn your wheels full lock to the right (to aid passenger side access)

(Step 2 on wards follow for either side)

2) Bottom corner of the wheel arch liner you will see a push pin. Remove this by the aid of a flat head screw driver, slotting it in to the recess and working the pin out first, then remove the second part so you are left with 2 parts in your hand. From this first push pin, follow the arch liner up and you will find another one, remove this in the same way. Ignore the next one up, no need to remove this one.

3) Underneath the car you will find another, slightly bigger push pin, remove this in the same way as before. Remember this is a bigger version so don't try and put the smaller ones in this hole or try and force the bigger one in the smaller holes (oooohhh er)

PUT THE 6 PARTS (each arch liner) in a safe place.

4) You can now move the arch liner to give you access to the bulbs.

5) Locate the grey connector, which will be the lowest one in the light fitting. Put your thumb on top of the connector and locate your index finger at the bottom in the middle, then push up with your index finger. You will feel the catch move upwards and when you do, just pull the connector off.

6) Locate the bulb holder you just pulled the connector out of and again holding it with your thumb and index finger, turn it anti-clockwise and pull out. As you do, take note of what side the middle plastic locating piece sits (look at your LED bulb and you will see what I mean).

7) Taking the LED bulb, locate it in the hole making sure the middle plastic locating piece sits on the same side as you noted in step 6 as this will make fitting it quicker instead of having to spin the bulb around to locate it. Push the bulb in tight and at the same time twist it clockwise and you should feel it lock (I say should as I felt it more so on the drivers side than I did on the passenger side but all appears to be ok)

8) Re-attach the grey connector making sure you feel/hear it locate. Give it a little tug to make sure it's secure.

9) Check the LED is working before carrying on.

10) Put your arch liner back in place, making sure you get the bottom corner behind the trim.

11) Take the biggest push pin and put it back in to the hole under the car. Then take the 2 smaller push pins and put them back in. Note: The part with the hole in needs to go in first before you put the middle pin in, don't try and push both parts in together.

12) Give yourself a pat on the back and say hello to a nice white LED DRL.

FRO, they fell off when driving. I didn't lose them lmao. I put two in to drive to my mates for him to fit them, instea of putting all 6 in, lost them on the drive there

[MENTION=12964]Stark[/MENTION] thanks for clarifying a bit deeper, think a lot get stuck, like I did, with what side and way to put the connector back in to make it lock in.

Whoops I missed that bit,

Installed mine today. Took a while to do the first one as I couldn't work out how to get the connector off at first.

Well worth it however, the difference is amazing. No idea why Ford fit the crappy incandescent bulbs as standard. This is a "must have" upgrade in my opinion.

And thanks to the posters who wrote the step by step guides - most useful !

Ordered them Monday, Came today

Has anyone bothered with swapping the rubber sealing ring from the stock DRL bulbs to the new LEDs ??
I believe someone said that the Australian manufacturer/supplier had suggested doing this to get a better seal - no mention from the Dutch supplier!

 

[SteveS]

Didn't do this. They seemed to fit just fine.

This was in the pack with my LED's

 

[Davis89]

I'm so confused by all the LED lights upgrades that i need, Does anyone have the sizes and where there for?

Also What Brightness is best! I was thinking a Cool(ice) White

DS3 for HID?
P13W for side lights

Is it easier to buy the DD interior kit?

Thanks in advance
