Looks like front fog lights are the DRLs :frusty:

Every now and then these DRLs are changing positions! :doh:

Not sure why you have come to that conclusion as you can clearly see in the video they are not lol.

Fog lights are the Fog lights.
Little square above the fog lights that remains on when the fog lights are switched off are the DRLs.
Headlights and Tri bars appear to be on at the same time suggesting the Tri bars to be used as the sidelights when main lights are off.

The above is fine with me because I will just keep my sidelights switched on so that the front tri bars will be lit and the rear tri bars will be on as well

Same location as they have always shown for the EU...little square above the fog lights

That works for me too.

Maybe we confuse "sidelights" with DRLs, since for me it was the same thing but you are correct, they are different.

It will be good for me, since I want to have only DRL on without headlights or 'sidelights'!

I beg to differ, have a look at the screenshots I've taken from the video. In the first one you can see just the fog lights on - no side lights or anything else on. In the second photo you can see the headlights on with the little squares illuminated.

About mid way through the video you can see the fog lights come on, then they turn off, the side lights and dipped beam come on and the fog lights again.

Fog lights can be switched on without any other lights on, on some cars, this shows the same thing happening.

What's interesting, which I didn't notice before is that if any of those lights are meant to be DRLs then we have the option to switch the DRLs off altogether because of the combinations of lights shown.

The attachment is what I am putting my bets on will be the setup for EU cars

1) Headlights & Main beam
2) Sidelights
3) DRLs
4) Indicator
5) Fog light

It'll definitely be interesting to see how they are set up.

I formerly worked for Ford and have never come across any models that can have the fogs on without at least the side lights being switched on, but the Mustang may well be different.

I only made that point in replying because the Mustang uses the same switches as the Focus, Kuga, Mondeo etc which will does not allow independent operation in those vehicles.

That's fair enough mate, everybody is free to have their own oppinion etc :cheers: either way it will be nice for Ford to confirm how the lights will work as well as other things :headbonk:

What the heck are sidelights? And are they the reason the tribars are no longer drls in Europe? I know they very well could've been drls - because Audi BMW Renault and it's ilk have presented us with a ton of weird and offset drls the past few years...

Driving dynamics of this Ford Mustang are absolutely perfect - let's hope so.

I was reading through the Australian spec sheet which I suspect will be similar to European specs. The headlights are described as HID with signature LED lighting which I suspect may just be the LEDs illuminated when the headlights are switched on, rather than them being the side lights. (Happy to be wrong if this doesn't end up being the case)

In light of what is seen in that video I suspect this is how the lights will function:

1. HID headlight with signature LED lighting.
2. Side lights.
3. Indicators.
4 & 5. DRL/fog lights.

 

[pfcz]

there can be two bulbs in the fog light lamp, one DRL and another one fog light. this is what I have on another car... but I do not say this is the case with mustang

 

[papinist]

At the beginning of the video there are only HID headlights on, without the tri-bar led.
