Ford's 1967 and 1968 Mustangs were equipped with hood-mounted turn signal indicator lights as optional equipment. The signals could be viewed from inside the vehicle through hood vents. To power the lights, a single wiring connection was routed underneath the hood and plugged into the main wiring harness. Because the wire is located just above the engine, heat from the engine can destroy it. Fortunately, replacing the wire requires no special tools and takes only a few minutes. As the 1967 and 1968 Mustangs are essentially similar, the replacement process is the same for either year's model.
Tools Used: Socket wrench
Replace Hood Light Wire
Open the hood of the Mustang to access the hood lights. Trace the wire from either light to the wiring connection at the back of the hood.
Unplug the wiring connection from the main wiring loom. Grasp the base of each light bulb housing and rotate the housings in a counterclockwise direction, until they detach from their lenses.
Remove the retaining clips that secure the wire to the underside of the hood, using a socket wrench to release the wire. There are a total of four clips.
Insert each light bulb housing into its respective lens and rotate the housing in a clockwise direction, until both housings are secure.
Feed the wire into its position along the underside of the hood, stopping to install the retaining clips with the socket wrench, until the tip of the wire reaches the back of the hood. Plug the wiring connection into the main wiring loom.
