This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the updated 5th generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford Mustang in changing a burnt out rear side marker light bulb.

Owners of the earlier 5th generation Mustang from 2005 to 2009 and possibly the 4th generation 1994 to 2004 models with similar rear side marker light bulb housings may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement bulb for the 2010 to 2014 Mustang models is part number 194 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Philips, Eiko and PIAA.

If you would like to have brighter side marker lights, choose some compatible 194 LED bulbs.

The 2005 to 2009 Mustangs use part number 2825 for the rear side marker, which is also a miniature wedge base bulb.

The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool used to pry out the housing from the bumper.

Pull Out Old # 194 Bulb
Move to the side of the bumper with the burnt out rear side marker bulb.

You may choose to wrap the tip of your screwdriver with a soft micro fiber cloth to protect the plastic and painted surfaces.

Insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver in between the front edge of the light housing and the bumper.

Gently pry out the front part of the bulb housing and remove it from the bumper.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new # 194 bulb.

You may also use any other miniature wedge base bulb such as the # 168, W5W, 2825 or a compatible LED unit.

Re-insert the socket in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to lock it in place.
