The housing of the rear lights is surrounded by a fluid. It runs completely around the housing, on the outer edge. It is(was) meant as a filtration medium to keep dirt and debris from entering into the housing itself. Once the fluid become filled with dirt particles, it loses its surface tension, allowing the fluid to drain outwards along the lower seephole in the housing. (you can see the seephole as a small indention/hole in the rubber seal on the bottom of either taillight. A quick refill of fluid will replenish the over cleanliness of the fluid, which in turn allows the fluid to have greater surface tension, and will no longer leak through the seephole (since the vacuum created inside is strong enough to hold water when it is clean.. but dirt molecules make it heavier...)When this outer canal becomes older or cracked it can also leak, causing dirt buildup within the unit, and premature wear.

Pep Boys does not carry it, but O'Rielly's does, for one (anyone know anywhere else that does?). The FORD part number is C3DZ-ID-10T.


Don't let these guys get you in a heap of trouble, CEG is known for giving "JUST ENOUGH INFO" without following up on what can ACTUALLY help... SHAME ON YOU CEG...
