Lighting

VaporS197 · December 4th, 2007, 05:44 PM

I know it's stupid, but does anyone know how I can change the dash lights? I heard Ford produced a dash kit which allows you to change the color, but it was hard enough for me to get my dealer to install the ambient lighting in my GT.

I'd really like the blue backlights. The green kind of annoyes me.

Is this just a case of me taking it to a shop and telling them to put in some blue bulbs?

And what about HID bulbs for the headlamps?

07 STROKER · December 4th, 2007, 05:45 PM

its called "mycolor" option and I forget how to change it...its in your owners manual I believe.....its in the menu i believe

leebunnyz · December 4th, 2007, 05:47 PM

i just play with the 3 button on the right side til its say my color on the dash lol.

VaporS197 · December 4th, 2007, 05:49 PM

So you're telling me my dash already has it?

1FastFox · December 4th, 2007, 05:49 PM

Hit Info till you see a few colors then hit reset till you find the color you want...

07 STROKER · December 4th, 2007, 05:50 PM

thats it! ya if its a gt it has mycolor already

06GTMustang89 · December 4th, 2007, 05:51 PM

i had it set for blue for awhile but it just didn't seem quite right so i switched back to red...red is badass IMO...and switch your headlights to Silvannia Silverstars they are bright as hell...no need for HID's you'll just be blinding people

VaporS197 · December 4th, 2007, 06:02 PM

I went out to my car, but I don't know which button changes the gauges... I have an 08 GT. I thought MyColor was an option though?

I'll check my owner's man when I get home, cause I hate that green backlight...

There you go...
BTW- Im pretty sure my color is base on the 08 not an option...

PiggySmallz · December 4th, 2007, 06:05 PM

you only have the mycolor feature with the interior upgrade package...+1 to 06GTMustang89, swap headlights and fogs out with Sylvania Silverstars, most people dont see the difference, but once night falls you can see they are MUCH whiter

1FastFox · December 4th, 2007, 06:09 PM

I thini it was an option in 05 & 06, but on the 07 & 08s it came fact...

VaporS197 · December 4th, 2007, 06:23 PM

Yeah, damn dealer didn't give me the upgrade that I wanted, so I don't have the MyColor... Bastards. They even left off the hood scoop I wanted. Come to think about it, I didn't even get the color I wanted! And I dropped 15 g's on that car...

no the interior upgrade was an option on 07's also with the my color feature...i'm almost sure of it

onederful100 · December 4th, 2007, 06:37 PM

yes i believe it is an option for the '07's, i dont have it on mine

07 STROKER · December 4th, 2007, 07:48 PM

thats right...it is an option sorry..i ordered the interior upgrade package, as well as th GT apperance package.

texas_mustang · December 4th, 2007, 08:09 PM

well, is there a way for us non mycolor owners to change our dash lights?

Jucostud · December 4th, 2007, 09:53 PM

I have an '07 and don't have mycolor

I was pissed when i found out i didn't have it. I thought all the new mustangs had it, so i didn't think to look when i bought my car.

Bleh... Red gauges, + red redline, + red ponter = WAYYYYYYYYYY to much red... al the other colors, except orange are good though.

I have mine set to light blue

06RedfireGT · December 4th, 2007, 10:10 PM

Mycolor is an option. I have mine set to blue.

AnimalCrackers · December 4th, 2007, 10:13 PM

Yea, I had thought all the 07+ had it standard...I bought the most basic GT I could find on the lot, and it had it with it, very strange. To find it, you need to click the middle of the three buttons two times (I forget what they labeled the buttons as, think it goes Info Setup Reset ???), then hit the reset button to cycle through the dash colors. My color changes based on my mood usually, a cycle between green, red, blue, and custom mycolor.
