Gentlemen , I have a 2002 Mustang which is in Europe and I need to modify the Tail Lights (amber turn signals) as well as head lights , anyone has any info where to get parts in order to satisfy Europes standards , any advise would be great .
You can also direct me to any web sites to look . So far I got in touch only with Roush Co. in UK unfortunately
they deal only with Mustangs after 2005.
Thanks , Henk.

To my knowledge, getting a car approved in one country means it should get approved in any other country without technical alterations.

Now since I've seen this post around a few times, I recall you're going to Germany, which is (as I've gathered) one of the more easy countries to get an approval. Thusly a lot of cars get exported to Germany, approved there, and then exported onward to a country of destination, which can't complain too much about the technical state of things, because it's already had an approval.

The dr-mustang.de forum has a lot of info regarding imports and regulations on the subject: dr-mustang : die us-car community › Wörterbuch › Import-Zulassung-TÜV

And here is the part about the lighting:

dr-mustang : die us-car community › Wörterbuch

That bit however doesn't specifically note the turn-signal lights, which is the biggest hassle. Now I did track this tidbit:

94/95 Tail Lights with yellow Flashers - Mighty Forums

Basically what was done (and I've seen it over here in NL on a car), is that there are yellow bulbs in the back-up lights. Now at the lowest part of the rear-bumper two additional lights were installed, namely a white 'backup' light, and a red 'fog-rearlight'. The fog-light BTW is mandatory.

I'm using this picture just as the example in case:

Basically that solution would be the 'quick and dirty, not to mention cheap' way to get the car legal on the lighting bit. Just requires a bit of rewiring...

As to parts... there are shops here, but the majority of those kinds of specifics still need to come from the US.

Thank you Neko for your explicit advise , that was very helpfull , I will try to get an answer from the registry people if this is going to satisfy them . Also do you know anything about the head lights , like the Ford has a strait line projection on bottom of the light beam and it suppose to be curved or something like that..
Thanks again,Henk

I know the dutch side doesn't mind the red direction lights so my car is pretty much stock again, but you're still gonna require a rear fog-light.


As to headlights, asfar as I know there isn't a difference on those lights between the US and Europe. If anyone has info on that, feel free to correct me...
