We recently had the need to upgrade the headlights in our 2008 Ford Mustang
project vehicle. Like most vehicles, we just thought we'd pop the hood, remove
a few bolts and lift up on a few tabs. We wished it was that
easy!
After doing some
research, we found that we had to remove the entire front bumper of the Mustang
in order to remove the headlights.
Yes, you heard that right -the entire front
bumper has to be removed! It shocked us too. So we thought it
was another great opportunity for a how-to video, showing owners of the Ford
Mustang GT (S197, years 2005-2009) how to do this. It probably applies to the
newer 2010+ models as well, in addition to similar
vehicles.
The process involves
disconnecting the marker lights on the sides, pulling out the fender liner to
get to some bolts, removing those, as well as a bunch of smaller ones along the
front. Once all the lights are disconnected and the bolts are removed, the
bumper pops right off. At that point, all that holds the headlights on are a
couple of bolts. You can watch how to do it in this episode
#27.
