Check to see if the rear housing is melted... you may need to replace the lights. You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.

Then once the car was no longer under warrenty SHOCK AND SURPRISE the whole fixture needs to be replaced. WOW! How does that happen? Sorry for all the sarcasim. Bad design or just Ford quality I don't know. I have no answers just sharing your pain. I'm just going to replace it with an aftermarket setup. Would be love to hear suggestions from you guys on that. Rice is just a matter of money. How fast do you wanna look! 99 Contour Sport SE MTX KKM filter, B&M shifter No res, BAT kit, Aussie Bar

Plus, I have also noticed they are a bit of a cop magnet, insofar as they pay more attention to you (even when driving legally) then when they are off. Wonder if we can term them 'punk lights' or something. -MattG. 99 SVT Black/Tan #1508 K&N Filter
