There's a hidden Cigarette barrel backlight, perhaps an option available for premium models, very easy to access and unlock this feature. Handy for locating the barrel at night and a nice little party trick to show off to your falcon friends.
Cheers, let me know if this function excites you 🤣

There is also a T10 wedge bulb holder for the foot wells. A bit of rooting around to find them but they are there.

Oh really? In my XT model I'm sceptical.. Do you know if even the XT have the footwell t10 holders tucked up under dash?

@@pietervanderhorst2529 yeah I've seen this at wrecker yards. Seemingly depending on the model, if the premium sound/higher optioned cars had the bulb holder socket tucked under dash as part of loom

@@FordMercGuy yeah my bf xr6 hasn't got them there. However my Nan's ba Fairmont has them. Easy enough to install. I've got the parts sitting there. Just run the wire up to the drivers side pillar and tap into the dome light

If you wanted to set up additional LED lighting throughout the car, would this be a good place to start running your circuit or is there a better way to do it? Also appreciate all the effort you put into the videos, I've learnt so much from them all and production quality and detail is superb.

Thanks for the awesome feedback mate and so glad to hear I've been able to help out through my Vids. To answer your question mate, I'd say that we shouldn't overload this point for LED lighting. Perhaps using a Multi meter and check how much your leds are drawing even though they don't draw alot can be a smart idea and not running more than a factory T5 bulb would draw. Melting wiring is not fun.

What LED T5's do you use mate? I've had nothing but bad luck with mine of eBay with flickering after a short amount of time.

@FordMercGuy 4 жыл бұрын

I found a batch I bought for my old Merc a few years ago from a website called crazy LED from the UK, had really good quality and has been lasting really well till now. They even had a 3 faced LED version of the T5. However, yeah ebay stock can be hit and miss indeed quality wise

My question is why the hell would Ford hide such a nice feature? I love my Ford's but they gave us peanuts compared to what Holden got with their cars 🥲

Early 2000s so we are talking about cost cutting and trying to Keep prices low to compete with other makes and models I guess. Quite unfortunate really
