I have call Lincoln Mercury and two Ford Dealerships who can not answer this question and all give me different prices for the replacement parts. The best price so far has been $45.00 a side. Is this correct? Lincoln Mercury wanted $65.00 a side. (what a wrip!) Eurythmian '96 Oxford White Mercury Mystique "Spree" Equipped with a stock 170hp Duratec 2.5L - V-6, 4 speed ATX It's a Tubeless Tique!!! ( DFW will understand... ) Purchased NEW @ $18,756.00 on 1/11/97 with 25 miles on the Odometer for the wife. Now has a little over 57,000 miles on it and it's my ride after getting the wife a 2000 Windstar SEL. High Beam - Cool Blues in all four Head Lights. 885s in Fogs. Head Light Switch Wiring Mod ? Can now run with Parks and Fogs together. Updated the sound system and did sound proofing (What a difference!). Dad of twins. I'm such the family man.

They are easy to swap out. 2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO. Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!

IIRC they were pretty cheap through him. $12-14 I think.

But you'd still need the newer style panels to start with since that is the only one with a removable insert. Rick The first Blown 3 Liter!
