Guys, I feel like an idiot. I've searched the forums. both here and fordmods.com and can't find the answer. When replacing the tail lights is it just the 2 screws near the boot lid to remove or are there more? if so where. On, and how hard is it to install new ones, eg, wiring and globes, is it a straight swap or what...

There is a nut also behind the boot lining. It's really simple to do.

One nut inside the boot behind the trim (lower outer corner of the light body) and two screws on the side.

should be a straight swap as far as globes go, just undo the globe holders from the old tail light and put them in the new one

I have replaced my brake lights with LED's and the cruse control has stopped working. The computes doesnt recognise there is a globe in the brake so cruse stops working for some reason. But if you dont use it, You wont miss it i guess Last edited by andrew_osg; 08-01-2007 at 01:13 PM. Reason: . |

A little off subject seeing this is about the same tail lights iydm ? I have had a pair of the same in the garage for about 6mths. Hadn't had the guts to try them out really as I'm 5050 about them. So I did try them on just the other day, took them off by the next day LOL... If it's your cup of tea a pr of brand spankers in the black tint will be posted in the F/S section whenever, if you are keen pm me, please do not take this thread off track anymore than I have. Sorry aye you.

I went the opposite, my car came with the shadow chrome ones and I was never a fan so changed them back to Series 2/3 lights. The do look good on your car though.
