Hey, guys, Stephanie with AmericanMuscle.com here with a quick overview of the hood mount turn signal kit for all 2005 to 2014 Mustangs. This hood mount turn signal kit is a throwback to the classic 60s Mustang styling. If you really appreciate that iconic look and you want to bring some of it to your S197, then this kit may be a good match for you. This is a kit that's going to give you amber turn signal lights in either the factory or aftermarket hood vent heat extractors facing the driver, so it'll be visible to you. They're going to illuminate with your turn signals, your hazard lights, and when you lock or unlock your doors. Being that these are located in the hood vent, it brings up some concerns about the housings of the lights. But the housings are waterproof and they're going to be sealed even against the high pressure of a car wash. This is an LED turn signal, so it's going to be a nice, bright, strong turn signal. The one that I have with me here is an amber light. This kit's also offered with a red LED if you want something different than the normal amber look. The amber will match your factory turn signals, though. Ultimately, you as the driver are the one that's going to be seeing this light, so it's your call. One thing that's nice about this kit is that it comes with a plug and play harness. Wiring can be a pain sometimes, so anything that comes with a harness that just plugs right in and can be nicely ran is always going to be better in my book. The harness comes all loomed and ready to go already so you don't have to do that yourself. You don't have to cut or drill to get these installed, which is another nice thing. No cutting of the factory wiring or drilling in the hood, which is a permanent modification. When it comes to price, both the amber and the red kit are going to cost the same amount. You're looking at spending between $100 and $150 for either kit. The install of the hood vent mounted turn signals is pretty straightforward. Again, it's going to be completely plug and play, and the brackets will mount with 3M tape so there won't be any drilling. You'll want to have a few basic hand tools like a socket set and a flat head screwdriver handy to get the job done. You'll start by popping the hood and dropping the top portion of the hood insulation to gain access to the hood vents which are held in by plastic clips. The lamps are side specific so just pick a side and then place the mount in the vent to see which side you want to mount the lamp in. I would suggest one of the top slots closest to the driver so you can make sure you'll be able to see the lamp. As usual, since these are installed with 3M tape, you want to make sure the surface is as clean as possible. Use the alcohol prep pads and the adhesion promoter on the spots where the bracket will be sitting. Peel the backing off of the 3M tape and press firmly into the heat extractor. The process is the same for both sides. In order to run the turn signal harness, you plug the gray connectors into the corresponding turn signal lamps and route the wiring under the hood insulation down towards the passenger side where you'll be zip tying it down. You need to wire in your ground and then route the wiring up the passenger fender towards the front of the car. To finish, you'll need to tap into the factory turn signals. I would test your wiring before you lock everything back up or move on to the other side just to make sure it's all correct. Make sure to secure any extra loose wiring with the provided zip ties and then you'll be good to go. From start to finish you'll be looking at spending about an hour getting these set up. I give this install a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter because it's a pretty simple install.To wrap things up, this hood vent turn signal kit will help bring you a little bit of that nostalgic '67 to '68 Mustang hood styling and give you turn signals in your hood vents. It comes in two colors, either amber LEDs or red LEDs. It's easy to install, and you can check the kit out more online right here at AmericanMuscle.com.
