HEY!!! I read the post, but I'm not sure because I do not have a 89 GT. In fact do not have a mustang at all.

Never even thought about it. I would just go to the dealer and buy one. They should know.

I was just being a smart@ss , but i'm glad to know that people actually looked at my post. I took the bulb out and i saw that it was an H3 bulb. The reason i asked was because i'm buying some 130 watt all-weather bulbs and upgrading/rewiring all the wiring so that i can actually see while driving in the snow this winter. Thanks for replying though,

Nope, there's a bulb attached to a wire that can be replaced. You just pop out the lense and remove a clip that holds the bulb in and then unplug the bulb.

Jimberg's right on the money.
I'd also like to add that you want to unbolt the fog light from the back and take out the entire housing (even though you will have to re-aim them) because it's IMPOSSIBLE to put the light housing into the retaining housing by pushing and trying to get the clip to slip over the tang....i spent 15 minutes of idiocy doing this before realizing that it could be alot easier. Took about 3 minutes after that to put both sides together because i took them both apart. |

84LX89GT, I just push on that metal tab with a screwdriver. It goes in every time.

That's odd....i tried that and it didn't work for me. The rubber seal would keep shifting around and sometimes fall in and all i was really doing was pushing the light around. I tried a screwdriver to lift up the tang and push the bulb in but it just wouldn't go in easily with the gasket there. When i took it off, i was able to apply enough pressure for it to drop right in.....well, whatever works i guess.

You're really going to need to watch your lenses. I've seen lenses get too hot from just 100watt bulbs.

I guess i'll see what happens . I don't exactly drive around with my fog lights, i'll probably use them for an hour at a time at the very maximum probably usually only for 10 to 15 minutes. I only use my fog lights when i have to or when i'd like to see better if i'm Hauling @ss on desolate roads at night near my house. Thanks for telling me about that though, i'll check them regularly after using my fog lights now.
