Screw the weather, I want these little toys in. So I did. They are both lighting effects kits. One kit flashes the rear high brake light a few times. It features a function that "kills" the flash for 20 seconds after it does it once. This prevents constant flashing in bumper to bumper traffic. The other kit brings Gen II theatre lighting to my 96. This is something I have wanted for a long time. The kits come with all you need:

The
brake light kit is VERY easy to install:
Locate the brake light connector:
Split just the green wire:
Red wire connects to the brake switch. White to the lamps. Black gets a quick-splice connection to the black:
Theatre lighting was a bit more challenging in the Mark. 96hotrodlincoln was nice enough to provide me with the schematics. I happen to hit the nail on the head in the first attempt:
Two harnesses need to be tapped for this one. One on the left and lower right:
The one on the left gets the "ignition on" tap first. This is so when you turn the key the lights dim right away. Book says W/P but mine was purple with orange stripe:
Next you need a 12 volt+ source. Orange harness wire to yellow kit wire:
Now you need a ground (black to black) and power to head to the interior lights which is black with light blue stripe to red on the kit:
