69 Mustang gets H4 Headlights

[@seanlinne8383]

I was hoping you would turn the lights on at the end of the video so we could see how they look.

[@tommiemb]

amen brother. i screamed at the screen for him to turn them on but he didn't listen. so disappointed.

[@carolettajames5471]

damn ! yourright

[@kimmorrison9169]

yes and they are a nice low cost upgrade. My buddy’s Boss 302 got them and they work great. On my bucket list for my Nova

[@ChrisKim1562]

The disgustang can be too nice for Freiburger when you're done with it

[@claytonpollard220]

Watching these wiring videos has definitely taken the edge off the knife that is wiring for me. I feel like i can actually attack the wiring in my new project and get the old girl on the road for the first time in two decades

[@mikepoint4983]

The devil is in the details , great vid Lucky .

[@g.cooney6599]

I have heard the small bulbs called city lights. Hella lights rock! Another good video from Lucky's Garage!

[@TheSaxon25]

Nice!!!! I just did a Hella H4 conversion on my Nova! What a coincidence. I even put them on relays - oh what a good boy am I. The disgustang is looking great!!! #fundriver

[@larryr8492]

Ah! The lost art of three handed sealed beam replacement! Looks good, nothing better than clear, clean, bright headlights. Fire burger won’t know how to act with all the electrical working on his car. He might think something is REALLY wrong! LOL Thanks for sharing.

[@cgtanker74]

Love the show Lucky! Excellent tech tips. Keep it up!

[@donnielsen5334]

About that key in the drivers side low beam area ... Reminded me of when I was in High School in the late '70s. I had a job pumping gas and one of the mechanics that worked at the attached shop had a 64 1/2 Falcon with a 289/4 sp. He had a key like that in the passenger rear quarter that was hooked to a 2nd coil that ran thru a 1 second pulser that was his theft deterrent device. Of course you need to make sure the key has a rubber isolator under it. ;-)

[@mroptical1982]

Hello Lucky great episode David Mustang is looking great. Wishing you well Take Care

[@christopherwedemeyer2993]

I had a 69 convertible for a long time. Headlights were always needing to be replaced. Either burned out or a rock smashed em. A refrigerator magnet will hold the bucket in place while your other two hands can hold the trim ring and headlight. Little tip for the guy who knows everything...

[@terrydavis7389]

i always learn something new watching your videos

[@beezo2560]

Thanks for the update Lucky ✌

[@keoghjesion7885]

The hella housing produce a nice clean cut off. Also aim up to the right,help light up road sides

[@robertwells6454]

That car looks better every time I see it. 🤘

[@herbiederby3394]

Clean installation lucky....✌

[@SpatialDragon]

I am surprised that David wanted those bulbs. There are some really decent led's that look like real sealed beams, only brighter and last for many years... I used a lot of those lights to upgrade older bulbs, I never liked installing them since I did fry one the first time by touching it. Never did wear the rubber gloves while working on stuff, but they were pretty hard to get back then... Actually I wore white cotton gloves when doing some stuff as a helicopter mechanic, but that was way back in the day. I had a toolbox drawer for white cotton gloves there. The company provided them.

[@ravennexusmh]

As someone from the UK I've seen normal USA spec sealed beams and they're shocking. The h4 all our old cars here use are a huge improvement.

[@livinlite9549]

This is my favorite car in the world.

[@ogresspeedshop]

You should check out octane headlight kits on Amazon or directly through the company. I got a set for my 69 Firebird and there were housings for low and high beams so there’s wasn’t any modifications needed for them to fit. And they’re H4 style as well and they’re awesome. Just another option for the future if you want.

[@FACEBOOKS-WBDS]

OK YOU MADE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. The old factory harness does not carry enough voltage through the switch to fully acheive the full potintail of the h4 bulbs..The fix is using the factory harness to flip 30amp relays straight to the battery....you would not beleive the difference and puts far less stress on your healight switch!

[@FACEBOOKS-WBDS]

@ChrisHallett83 But, he did not show this. Which is worse....He is teaching...people are following his lead...

[@stevechandler3924]

The wire ids are printed on with an ink jet just before going into the machine that cuts them to length

[@TrinomCZ]

Couple notes - you are using high power H4 bulb, which are not meant for on road use (80/100W). They are too bright and hot. They will eventually damage the chrome inside the lamps. Also the oncomming traffic will thank you. The other thing, it's not like all cars in Europe have parking light connected to a turn signal stock. It's more like VW group thing. The other manufacturers don't do that very often.

[@luckysgarageshow]

The lighting pattern isn’t ideal for driving in the US but can be adjusted to not be to bad. I had opel,VW,BMW,mbz and they all had park lighting and adjustable headlights there before I got my f150. I also did a few TUF conversation that didn’t have park lighting

[@TrinomCZ]

@@luckysgarageshow The pattern itself is somewhat decent and we use these Hella and Autopal lamps a lot on imported vehicles, but we use the right H4 bulbs, which have 55/60 W.

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

Looks much better than when they pulled it out of mouseville.

[@thetype85]

The little bulbs are called “city lights”. Welcome to 1960’s European lighting technology!!

[@francoisgaignaux6474]

one option would be to wire the small bulbs to the fog light switch, at least they'd be functional. Also, good suggestion in the comments to use a relay instead of direct connection to the switch.

[@mattvorhees6055]

I thought I was the only that worked on cars with a rolex submariner!? I've got the old school keyed alarm hooked to ground on coil.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Good visibility is no accident...

[@projectinlinesix]

Could you share what company makes those conversion headlights with the running light built in?

[@keoghjesion7885]

Hella e code housings

[@Granite]

Had to get all new adjusters when I restored the grille/headlights for a 70 Torino GT. Used 69 mustang adjusters.

[@jcook69camaro]

you are going to melt the wires going to your pressure switch. you have them tie wrapped to the discharge line for the ac compressor. don't ask me how i know this. but good video on the light install

[@weskirkland5850]

Are they high and low beam lights or just four low beams?

[@67buick]

In the case of my 67 Buick, I just used 4 hi/low buckets because the hi only buckets wouldn’t fit the h4s.

[@roylyle4339]

Excellent tech tips

[@dogbuggy32]

Good hand lucky, looked like a pain

[@bobwahl2858]

[@pghgeo816]

hey Lucky i like watching you work you are very efficient! Is that a Rolex or a Strolelex (fake) or worse yet a Stolex?

[@lonniegray1033]

I’m sure glad your building my car (wink wink)

[@michaelteasdale2919]

It really needs the chrome on the hood👌

[@280zone]

Actually I don't think the spring attaches to the trim ring, there should be a specific hole for it in the bucket. That way you can replace the bulb when everything is assembled.

[@iadc43]

Normally, I think you would be right on that thought. But these trim rings only had two screws, so he would need the spring to hold the third side securely

[@russhancock78660]

Did David get a replacement hood? If so , does still have the turrn signals facing the driver? Well done as usual

[@fightzoid]

Some 20 year old kid is watching this thinking WTF. Lol

[@pghgeo816]

Lucky please make Freiburger do something about that front bumper. I like the paint as is but that bent bumper gets under my skin. find a decent straight one doesn't have to be perfect chrome just straight

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

I agree Lucky ! If you gonna do it do it right !

[@kanakamaoli9642]

Sweet, thanks Lucky

[@rguzzo3510]

lucky for President

[@artgibbens1730]

Did anybody else notice that the first bucket installed on the driver's side was stamped RL for right lower? Maybe both lowers were stamped the same way?

[@rxblx2442]

You can't show us all this awesome work, and then not show us the lights on. Don't be a tease, Lucky!

[@stephenhotzjustdriveit]

Have 1 light bulb on my 65 Fairlane that needs the clocking mod.

[@TandD1w]

Lucky, can you reply with the part numbers that were used? Any idea how well those parts would fit a 66 Galaxie?

[@luckysgarageshow]

Sorry. No and No. If they make them they are a different part number

[@leighharron]

Some man for one man. Pardon my ignorance on the matter but what was the lock on the front for originally?

[@413x398]

Old school alarm system.

[@leighharron]

413x398 ahh, thanks for that 👍🏻

[@haroldwoods861]

what is the key by the headlite ?

[@estright9293]

What does that key do by the drivers side headlight? I have wondered that since they bought the car.

[@rxblx2442]

I saw something similar on an old 70s Trans Am while I was in a wrecking yard a few years ago. My best guess was a battery/ignition shut off switch. Maybe for extra security. I have no idea if that was actually a thing back in the day though.

[@huricanhill5702]

Some sort of anti theft System. If you don't turn the key before you open the door, the alarm ( Horn) goes on

[@weskirkland5850]

How the hell you didn't give us a reveal after all this?

[@robertstewart3086]

All that work and we didn't get to see what they look like on ?

[@morganleblanc730]

Hey Lucky who makes the light kit?

[@bobwahl2858]

Great video lucky, how do you get to the headlight adjustment screws to replace them on a 66 Chevelle? Any information would be greatly appreciated

[@chevelleranch7481]

Remove the headlight bezels. If you want to get deep into it , 66 chevelles have a self contained bracket that holds both lights and bolts to the core support. Its a little tricky , but it can be removed with the grille in. If you buy replacement adjusters , remove 1 of your originals and make sure the new ones are identical. For years the aftermarket ones did not fit the square holes in the bracket. Its pretty self explanatory once you get into it.

[@MegaDerMax]

Why didn’t you put the proper H1 hi beams in the middle?

[@luckysgarageshow]

I didn’t buy them. I’m sure he has his reasons

[@stevekarr4613]

Hella nice job Lucky (do ya see what I did there ;) ). They might have to change the name after you are done. Like how about "Luckstang".

[@dogsense3773]

Well did the lights work?

[@meerkat9113]

Lucky! Come on. A video about installing headlights and you don't let us see what they look like turned on?? Dude...

[@Tumbleweed_Tx]

it's a good idea to wipe the lamps down with an alcohol pad anyway because you never know how it was handled before packaging and installation.

[@HAunderscoreVE]

To this day, i dont know what is the key+lock thing in front of the driver's side headlamp for. Extra security? Battery cutoff? EDIT: huh. Apprently whatever it was used for, it isnt hooked up now. That only makes me wonder more.

[@laddhooks]

Keyed electric switch for an old school car alarm.

[@HAunderscoreVE]

@@laddhooks Thank you! I was going mental thinking about it

[@markbeech3455]

Wait a minute, what’s that key for in the headlight area?

[@toddmccarter45]

Looks like its not hooked to anything now, but its an old anti theft thing, I think they usually kill power to the coil

[@mwilliamshs]

Everybody's saying turn on the lights when the wiring is demonstrably incomplete.
