    Description

    This kit is what we recommend to fully convert your 1972 Cougar over to LED Plasma exterior lights. 

    Our WCCC brand LED lights are amongst the brightest on the market and have been specifically engineered with the nuances of the Mercury Cougar sequential system in mind. Keep in mind that over the years folks have become accustomed to very BRIGHT tail lights in traffic and the old incandescent bulbs are not only dim, but they take time to fully illuminate and a split second can make all the difference in stop and go traffic. 

    Another reason to upgrade this system is that the reproduction turn signal switches are not as good as the originals and do not do well with the load of six incandescent bulbs. Even the original FoMoCo switches often failed prematurely in the Cougars. By reducing the load on the circuit to a fraction of factory specs, you will save yourself lots of time and money in repairs. 

    Lastly... Cougar owners have always been rather proud of our unique sequential systems and by installing this system you will be pleasantly surprised at not only how intensely bright they are but how they illuminate a brilliant, true red that evenly radiates throughout the taillight cavity. 

    The 1972 model year does require you to upgrade the unit in the trunk. This kit includes the new sequential unit. 

    The side markers on the 72 - 73's were not integrated into the sequential system,  do not need to be upgraded to use the plasma LED taillights, and are not included in this kit by default. These 194 Red LED bulbs are offered as an optional addon at a discounted price when purchased with this kit.

    Question
    JeffV Asked:
    I have everything in place but the hazard flasher. I have no turn signals. Flasher is installed for turn signals and grounded. Oddly enough the hazards work fine without the new flasher installed, lights work, break lights work as well. What am I missing?

    Answer
    Could possibly be a bad turn signal switch, but honestly no way to tell without being around the car.
