this car is totaly different from my fox mustangs, how do you make the highbeems stay on, I understand that I can flick the blinker switch to flash them and on most cars moving the blinker switch the other way puts the high beems on but it is not so on the Mustang.
Anyways anyone knows please share

Pull the turn signal lever all the way back until you feel it click and it should stay on.

I don't have mine yet, but I was hoping the answer would be "It's on the floorboard in the top lefthand corner". Now that would be RETRO.

My sentiments, exactly! I even modified a more recent car to put a floor operated dimmer switch in it.

Right on! My dad had a '76 Trans Am for 25+ years. My favourite thing (besides the 400cid) was the high-beam switch on the floorboard, believe it or not.

I hate how the brights switch on. I use the "Flash" feature alot. But since the flash feature is so simliar to how you turn the brights on, I usualy turn the brights on instead of just flashing, by accident.

I like it better when you pull back to flash, and push forward to turn the brights on.

I had a 76 Mustang with the bright switch on the floor, that was pretty cool. Not sure how well it would work with a stick.

Here's another vote for a floor mounted dimmer switch. Maybe I just drive my antiques too much, but it seems easier to operate in that location.

Wow :scratch: every car I've driven has the 'flash' and 'on' for the brights in the same place as the 05...

I couldn't get my brights to stay on either, it didn't matter what I did... push, pull, etc. About a mile later I realized I only had the fogs on and not my headlights.
