So finally getting around to a few of my s197 projects.
I scored a clean compete set of 2008 mustang HID lamps. Score of a lifetime. Guy had them in garage, they were his sons who riced out his s197. Sat there clean. He put them on OfferUp just listed as “mustang lights” with the corners and rears. Snapped them up for a steal.
Any who. I know the wiring can be a headache and the oem harness is not available anymore. I am pretty familiar with HIDs and have done a few retrofits in the past.
So I opened the OEM headlight to follow and ID the wiring. There is a three prong female plug on the headlight. Looks like an h13 but it’s not.
The plug has a black, white and blue
The black and blue can be traced to the ballast.
the ballast has its own wire to the bulb
now the black and white go into the headlight. Under the reflector bowl. I am assuming the goes to a high beam actuator? Can anyone confirm?
