Shelby.GT500 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 So I changed my gauge, halo light, and ambiance color to purple but it bothers me that some of the lights still remain blue- like the lights on the stereo and the steering wheel. Is there a way to change it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 as far as i can tell you can not, it seems you can only change the guages and the ambient lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 That is why I keep mine Green, everything else is green so it looks odd otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgeman6970 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I was wondering the same thing, but about the "svt" on the door sill. Right now it lites up "red" & when I change colors on the gauges/halos/ambient/etc, it stays red. I assume the door sills cant be changed??

05mustangman Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes the door sill colors can be changed. Mine are currently blue. All you have to do is take off your sill plates and just see what connector pin is the blue or green. Then when you get the color you want swap that pin with the red power pin and your good to go. So basically just have to swap the wires, no cutting required. Once I figured that out took like 5 minutes on the other side. Hardest part is getting the door sills off. They just pull off but are just on there really good. So basically the colors you can have you door sills light up are red, blue, or green. Theres four pins in the connector, one for each color and the other is the ground. Now i believe the wires should be marked for which color they are as they were on mine.

I know im gonna sound stupid here, because i do most of my mods and maintenance myself, but i pulled off the driver side door sil, and i could not figure out what to do without cutting anything. So i just put it back together. I want the SVT in blue to match my Kona... Any pics of what you did once the sill was off? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and GREAT color car there bro...

05mustangman Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sorry brother get any pics during the install. I was too anxious to hurry up and finish. Honestly it really easy. Just look the white connector and you should see 4 wires I believe, its been awhile. One is ground, and three marked for their certain color. The only one that has power is the wire with the red strip on it. Disconnect the connector that way you can push the wires and their pins out of the connector. So all you have to do is push that wire and the wire with the blue strip out of the connector and swap them. Then it should light up blue. Just take your time and really look at the wires. Once you get the first one figured out the other side will be a breeze. Again sorry I didn't get pics during the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Do you swap the wires on the car side or the sill side? I removed the sill and worked on moving pins on the sill side connector but no go. Pulled out the red lock and all I could seem to do were push them out which doesn"t help. In order to get the wires swapped on this connector means to pull them out which I couldn't seem to do. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 After a little searching I found this little article. Hope this helps even more. This is for 2010+ Mustangs with lighted sill plates. When you pop your sill plates off you will notice there are only 4 wires. You disconnect the sill plate pigtail from the body harness. On the body harness side the wires are color coded. Yellow = power #1 white/red = red #2 white/green = green #3 white/blue = blue #4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remove the red clip that has these pins locked in place. After the red clip is removed use a pic or medium sized needle to push the release clip in on the pin you want moved. Your yellow wire does not get moved EVER. Any other wire can be put in the #2 slot. And the wire that is in the #2 slot will be the color you want to change too. For example if you want your sill plate to light up blue, then the red wire would go to slot #4 and the blue wire will go to slot #2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have the pins relocated where you wnat them, put the red locking clip back in your body harness pigtail. Then plug your sill plate back in and the put the sill plate back in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 So finally figured out the pin swap. But when I switch to blue, no light. Nothing. I can get green and of course red but no blue! Swapped into every combination I think. Could it be that I have a bad sill light for blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 That's interesting that both red and green work but not blue. Did you try it on both door sills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Just tried the driver's side. Good idea. I will try the passenger side later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billk2011 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 i still cannot figure how to get the wires out of the plug; is the release on top of the wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 In order to get the wires to pop out you have to take the red clip off the connector. That is what is holding the wires in the connector. Remember this is for the body side harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billk2011 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 i have the red clip out, I even used a small pair of needle nose pliers to slightly pull on the wires, but no go. While facing the inside of the plug, it almost seems like to need to use a needle or small ice pick to depress the top of the wire and pull from the back.

Afdharley Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 On this type of connector a paper clip or dental pick type tool will do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Afdharley is absolutely right. A small pick tool or a medium sized needle pushing them out from the inside should be able to push them right out. May take a little effort to work them out because they are in there pretty good.

bonefish Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 This sounds cool but, I'm guessing I'd do it wrong! LOL! Sounds like a winter project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well, get this. I switched the driver's side to be blue but nothing comes on. Green is good. Red is good. Left it configured for blue assuming the light broken but would try the passenger side. Hadn't gotten around to the passenger side yet but took the car out on Sunday and sure enough, the blue SVT comes on. It stays on mostly but does flicker off and on. So its either a bad wire somewhere or the light. Any ideas? Swap it with the passenger side and see if it flickers too? That would at least tell me if its outside of the light and somewhere in the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good possibility because those are some cramped quarters right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Did the wire swap on the passenger side tonight and blue works just fine. Connected the passenger light to the driver side connection and it works just fine. No flickering. Inspected the wires and connections on the driver light. Just fine. What's weird is when the light is vertical, no flickering. Tap, shake, bump.....no flicker. As soon as I place it horizontal for install....flickering starts. It has to be a loose wire in the light. We'll see if it works itself out over the next few weeks. If not, guess I got my first warranty item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLee Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Took the Shelby in recently for the 1-2 shift repair and also had them replace the driver side sill light under warranty. Yesterday took the 10 minutes necessary to swap wires and all is BLUE! No flickering. No problems. Now that I have done the wire swap so many times, this mod is super easy. If anyone needs advice on it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical08 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I did the swap to blue as well but was not as easy as I thought. My old eyes can't see the small connector very well, but I did it. I had no idea this could be done. Thanks for the post and info, I never really liked the red anyway. All my interior are blue LED.
