4. Setup and Installation

These VLAND tail lights are designed for plug-n-play operation, offering a direct OE fitment or replacement for the stock unit. No complex wiring modifications are typically required.

4.1 Pre-Installation Check

• Verify that the tail lights are compatible with your Ford Mustang GT (2015-2019).
• Inspect both tail light assemblies for any signs of damage during shipping.
• Ensure all included components, especially the wiring harnesses, are present.

4.2 Installation Steps

1. Access the Rear Light Assembly: Open the trunk and locate the access panels or trim pieces that cover the rear of the tail light assemblies. Carefully remove these to expose the mounting bolts and wiring connectors.
2. Disconnect Wiring: Disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the factory tail light.
3. Remove Factory Tail Light: Unscrew the mounting bolts or nuts securing the factory tail light to the vehicle body. Carefully pull the tail light assembly straight out to avoid damaging the alignment pins.
4. Prepare New VLAND Tail Light: Before installing the new VLAND tail light, ensure that any small felt pads or gaskets from the original lights are transferred or replaced if necessary, to ensure a snug fit and prevent rattling.
5. Connect Wiring Harness: Connect the provided VLAND wiring harness to the vehicle's existing electrical connector. Ensure a secure connection.
