ANyone have a Ford part number or cost?


One of mine is cracked and lets moisture in. I keep blowing bulbs and just blew an LED 194 i had in there. I need to get a new one.

Late model restoration sells them for $17+ ship for a pair. Just wondering if going to Ford would be cheaper or if they will want $30 for one

I won't be able to go til next week due

Same problem here The entire housing is tore to hell which just lets water put the hurt to them. In fact, right now I have 1 bulb out

You could try Randy at MD for a price

I had the same prob. Water would leak into it and fry the housing and bulb. So what I did was I put the LEDs in and then sealed up the housing with super glue. No water in to this day and the bulbs still shine bright!

Well mine is cracked down the center and is discolored. The LED wasn't shining as brightly through it as the other one. I need a new one anyway just to get a crystal clear lens back.

I bought the 5.0 Resto lenses. If I remember right, the Ford dealer only sold the entire license plate light kit. With bulbs and all.
