there are 4 screws that hold the tail lights to the car. pull back the trunk lining and look back there.

So you have to remove the whole assembly to get to the bulbs correct?

Just take off the inner lining like mustang50v8 said, and i think there is 4-5 bolts that hold the lights in there.. i am pretty sure its a 10mm deep socket 1/4''... should take ya ten minutes at best! lol

that is correct. since it somewhat of a pain in the ass to get to, i would do them all while you got it apart.



well it really isnt that bad to get to, but i am lazy, and i don't like pulling the lights off.

Pull the carpet back and you will see the screws that hold the light in. I havent replaced mine, but you might be able to pull the carpet back and twist the sockets out. Should take only a few minutes

Yeah it's a PITA.

Figures ford makes the headlights easy as hell to take off but then makes up for it by making the taillights a PITA.

Thanks Ford
