Modern Headlamp Conversion
'69s Too
The Reenmachine headlight package fits all years of vintage Mustangs except '69, which is the only year Mustang that used four smaller 5-3/4-inch lights instead of two 7-inch ones. Never fear though, because Reenmachine has been thinking about developing a '69 system for some time. When we suggested we help develop it-and had the car-shop owner Pete Waydo expressed interest.
After taking our trusty '69 Mustang project car to Reenmachine, the result is four Delta headlights (www.deltalights.com) that will fit '69s: a pair of low/high beams and a pair of highs. The wiring harness Pete researched and assembled worked perfectly, and it was similar to installing the harness in a two-light system. There are differences, though, and we'll show the full installation process in a future how-to article. One is that three original headlight plugs are retained rather than one, but otherwise the wiring is basically the same. We can also tell you the Delta lights are absolutely spectacular, and hitting the high beams is like having full daylight right in front of the car. Look for the four-light '69 system to be available from Reenmachine later this year.
