I thought about this too but gave up when I heard of all the changes required. Since the bulbs must be switched differently in the UK, you'll have to make wiring changes too. Let me know if you get it all worked out. Not sure if the cops/DOT will have any issues with the changes you make. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy Dave Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Can you be a little more specific on the changes? I don't recall the exact particulars, but something like since the reverse light is obviously in a different position, the wiring for the center bulb must be changed so that it comes on with the reverse gate, and must NOT come on when the brakes are depressed. In addition, there's something about euro cars where they require something different in terms of the marker lights....can't recall whether it's that the marker lamps must blink with turn signals or what. Suggest you contact Patrick...his screen name is something like pjtcobra or something....Grabber...what's his name? He lives in Sweden I believe and had to go through the conversion I believe.

07SHELBY GT Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks much!These lights are sweet and I think I'm going to give them a try,A little wiring doesn't bother me,But a mod to mount them would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave In the UK the white reverse light can only be lit when the reverse gear is engaged and at no other time, turn signal bulbs with clear lenses must be amber in color and blink when the turn signal is engaged and cannot be lit solid or blinking at any other time. A minimum of one fog light in the rear cluster is also mandatory, this is usually activated from the dash and it is only to be lit in bad visibility. So I would guess these Euro lights come with a white reverse an amber blinker and a rear fog in each cluster as well as regular lights and brake lights.

Thanks for that info!A fog light in the back?HMMMMMMMMMMM,I better do a little more research.When I went on their website and noticed some small looking fog lamps for a Mustang,Now I'm thinking they were for the rear!I'm going to try and contact these folks tomorrow and get any differences noted here.
