Ford Police Interceptor 2013-newer • Front lights heads/turns/parks

I dove into the first "drivability" piece being the front lights. I can't go many places especially now that the days are short without headlights and front turn signals.

I did the typical snooping around and not knowing this vehicle at all went down a number of rabbit holes... but I think I'm on track now.

The PI heads weren't working because whoever removed the safety equipment got a little clip-happy and cut the left headlamp bulb wires AND the headlight shutter wires. On the passenger side the headlight bulb wires were intact but the shutter wires were cut.

Clik here to view.

• Off with the pushbars
• Out with both headlights
• Exercised my lowest proficiency... soldering wires. But got everything back together.

Now, while working out my little headlight issue I noticed there were no parking/turn bulbs or sockets in the car at all. I also don't see the harness butchered anywhere but there's nothing long enough or even the right configuration to plug into a simple bulb socket for park/turns. I went online and ordered new sockets figuring I'd later get to a JY for hands-on figuring out how they connected in. As you might already know the standard turn signal socket doesn't fit the PI since the housing was cut for the wig-wag instead.

The great fountain of Google instructed me to either buy wig-wags or fashion a conversion using a PIU harness. For now I have a wig-wag ordered (to see if plug-n-play works) AND have ordered the PIU signal harness to try making an adapter.

I will update this post as things arrive and I can move forward.
