Replacing Mustang Parking Light Bulbs
With Xeon Chrome - Amber Bulbs from StangMods.com

Parts:
3157 Xenon Chrome/Amber Bulbs (big ones)
194 Xenon Chrome/Amber Bulbs (small ones)

Let me begin by saying this process took all of 15 minutes so the writeup will be quick and to the point. I saved time by pulling my Mustang to the edge of my garage to give me an extra half inch of clearance. I am a big guy at 6′5″ 240 with ape like arms but was able to replace the bulbs without jacking up the car.

The above picture is what you will see when looking up under the skirt of your Mustang. Nothing to impressive here and I have to apologize for using an old picture. Note the stock corner lights instead of the clear corners. I reused this image from the “Installing Clear Corners on a Mustang” post. The lights are secured in the housing unit tightly to prevent any moisture from getting inside. Firmly twist them counter clockwise but make sure not to pull down on them. If you do, you risk breaking the bulb inside the unit when it comes loose (then you would need to remove the corner and shake out the debris. While holding the base, gently pull each bulb out of their connectors. Replace the bulbs with the Xeon Chrome-Amber bulbs you bought from StangMods.com. Try not to touch the bulbs (not sure if it is an old wives tale or not). They come in a nice small plastic bag that you can use to hold them. Push the Chrome-Amber bulbs into the housing firmly until they are snug. When you insert the bulbs into the clear corners, make sure you apply firm pressure as you turn it clockwise. Turn firmly until you you are not abe to rotate it any further but be careful not to use to much force. Congratulations! You now got rid of that annoying yellow color from the front of your car and you are still street legal.

I personally dont think the pictures do the change justice. It is so much more noticeable in real life since the yellow bends and reflects as you walk around the car. You can still see the difference the Xeon Chrom-Amber bulbs made to the clear corners though.

STILL STREET LEGAL!

Can you tell which of the above had the Xeon Chrome-Amber bulbs? Neither can I and I took the pictures. I can tell you that the above picture is of two mustang clear corners. One has the basic orange bulb and the other has the bulbs purchased from StangMods.com Mustang Performance Specialists.

I think this picture does the Mustang clear corners with chrome-amber bulbs a little more justice. You definitely need to be walking around her or see her in real life to appreciate the major change. My Mustang is black with red accents and now has no yellow or orange tones in its styling. When my wife can tell the difference it must have been worth it.
