THE OLD TAILS....My OE tails i tinted (taped the reverse part off)


THE NEW TAILS....Alot of people told me i would have to either drill a hole for the blinker or wire my 3 bulb set up to a 2 wire.....well look what i found!!!



Pulled that little cover off and wah-la! No drilling or wiring required!!!

That doesn't make sense that people said you'd need to go to 2 wires with those bulbs. That's what's on my 99 ranger, 3 bulb rear. Btw stick with stock head and tail lights. I bought aftermarket tails, and it was setup with wrong colors for lights. So when I hit reverse the red lit up, driving light was red, and blinker was white. I almost got hit backing up cause they thought I had my brakes on. I threw them away. Didn't even bother trying to return.

i got home about 9pm lastnight and used a flashlight and put them on. checked to make sure they are in the right places and all.....they are good!

Old set up
(running light/brake) Red
(reverse) Clear
(blinker) Orange



New tails
(blinker) Red
(running light/brake) Red
(reverse) Clear


I just had to move positions which wasn't hard at all....was enough wire to reach there new spot. My new taillights aren't factory Ford tails...but they did say "Made in the USA" on the backs of them and they fit pretty dang good. And i will prb get some aftermarket headlights and corners later on

Auto and Art is awesome. I got my fuel filler neck through them.

That was a bonus to have that plug in there.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lmao!
Im sorry I mean I dont like to be rude, but you have to check the blubs and put the back up in the clear slot the turn in the turn slot and the brake/parking in its slot you cant use the factory (brake/park - reverse - turn) pattern on a (turn - brake/park - reverse) lense

Once again Im not trying to insult or anything, I just think it was an oversite on the posters behalf, we have all done goofy stuff like that before
