When I was at the JY. I picked up a Mustang Overhead Light.
I got the Lens, Housing, Mounting Plate (it was held in place by the Headliner on the Mustang) and Pig tale. 

From what Ive read, this should be a plug and play mod?

i've never used the mounting bracket, but most cases without the bracket it should bolt right in. if you don't het the map lights to power on, you may need to run an additional constant power wire for them

On my 2000 Ranger is was as simple as removing the old one & screwing the Mustang dome light in place.

Yup, literally did this last week.

I have the two wires when i remove the factory light, you don't use the plug connector that the Mustang did, just the 3 screws, live, ground and switched. See my project log for some pics.
