Close the hood and turn off the lamps. CHANGING A BULB Lamp Assembly Condensation Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. These are examples of acceptable condensation: • Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets). • Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens. These are examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water leak): • Water puddle inside the lamp. • Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of the lens. Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of unacceptable moisture are present. Replacing HID Headlamp Bulbs The headlamps on your vehicle use a high intensity discharge source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. When the bulb is burned out, the bulb and starter capsule assembly must be replaced by your authorized dealer. Replacing Front Parking Lamp/Turn Signal Bulbs 1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the off position and open the hood. 2. Remove the hex head screws attaching the beauty shield at the top, forward edge of the engine compartment just aft of the headlamps. 3. Remove the beauty shield to gain access to the front parking lamp and turn signal assembly. 2014 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, May 2013 USA (fus)
