Clear turn signals
Mine just came in and I'm wondering if anyone knows a link to an install thread? Appreciate it! I'll post pics when I'm done too

If you search mustang fog light install on google it should be the first one to come up. It's the least confusing one too.
Basically what I did is turn the wheel as far to whichever side you're working opposite of (some people say take the wheel off but it's not necessary)
Then take out the three screws holding the fender well at the corner of the bumper and the one fastener in the fender well further up. (Philips screwdriver will do and it's the only tool you basically need)
Then pull the fender well corner back. You should see two white studs going through your parking light. Push on the light from the outside while squeezing these studs together to make them small enough to go through the whole (I used flat tip screwdriver that helped me push the tabs on the studs down.
Then gently pull it back towards yourself and out of the tab at the front. DO NOT PULL IT OUT YET THOUGH! You must turn the two bulbs counter clockwise 90' and just leave them hanging til you put your new signal in. Then just do the reverse of everything to install the new lights.
The whole thing took me 30 mins to do and it's the first real thing I've done by myself. Not hard, pretty straightforward, not many tools needed at all, and really satisfying. I would recommend changing bulbs while in there. I'm changing mine to silverstars from pep boys. They look great and are noticeably whiter. The hardest part about this was getting the dang fender well back into the bumper. Pita but worth it!
Hope this helps!
