I would tell you IF i had the car yet.. but i dont.. so im gonna go off of a friends truck and say all you need is a screwdriver

You will need the 96 taillight harness also, or you could cut the 904 bulb off (the smallest bulb) and replace it with a 3157 socket and that would basically be the 96-98 harness.

I would be one of those who would say don't do it. Why look like one the million of 96-98 cars out there.

So we don't look like the 1000's of 94,95's out there.

I like the look better, I can allways put the old ones back on. So I dont have to buy that gimmik '94 to 96 wireing kit' or what ever it is.

It just swaps right across, have done it to my ride.

I dunno, I guess my car just has that extra touch that sets it apart from the "one of the million of 96-98 cars"

Ya, i had a bad day and felt like making fun of someone. But ive always wanted the 94-95 cobra spoiler with the decklid. Dont care for buying just the spoiler because 4 brake lights just seem like to much.

P.S-Very nice mustang. We're both faking a cobra

The nuts are 11mm and the socket, if desired, needs to be a deep well.

why is the svt badge on the wrong side?

11mm, or 7/16's, which ever works.

The guy I bought it from removed the Ford oval and put the SVT over there to cover the holes.


OK, so do a search, I used to be against this I got them so I could get the sequential turn signals

 

[91LX_5L]

so what do i need the 96-98 harness or not?

No, you dont need it but you could use it.

 

[rockin_rick]

You will, AT LEAST, need (2) 3157 sockets. The 96-98 harness has (3) 3157's per side. The 94-95 has (2) 3157's and (1) 194. The 194 is for the outter most lens. If you don't get 96-98 harness's, then you will need to cut and splice in the 2 new 3157 sockets.
