Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a 3-wire female parking light bulb socket before installation. Compare the original connector, terminal layout, and mounting style to confirm fitment on the specific Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln application. The extra-long leads and butt connectors provide added wiring length for repair work, but the original socket should still be matched carefully to the vehicle harness.
