FORD 1998 Mustang - Manual (Page 167)

To install the new bulb:
1. With the flat side of
the new bulb’s plastic
base facing upward,
insert the glass end of
the bulb into the lamp
assembly. You may
need to turn the bulb left or right to align the
grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp
assembly. When the grooves are aligned, push the
bulb into the lamp assembly until the plastic base
contacts the rear of the lamp assembly.
2. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base
until it contacts the rear of the socket by rotating
clockwise until you feel a “stop.”
3. Connect the electrical connector into the plastic
base until it snaps, locking it into position.
4. Install the headlamp on vehicle by aligning the
lamp with the rear snap retainer, push to seat and
secure with two retainer pins.
5. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work
properly. If the headlamp was correctly aligned
before you changed the bulb, you should not need to
align it again.
Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the OFF
position.
2. Open the hood.
3. At the back of the
headlamp, pull two
retainer pins up to
release the headlamp
assembly.
4. Pull headlamp
assembly forward
disengaging the lamp
from the rear snap retainer to expose the back of
the bulb.
