Unhappy 2001 Explorer Tail Lamp

Hi all,

I had a little mishap this holiday season and mixed my pearl white Limited with a basketball hoop post. Nothing that rubbing compound can't take out...BUT, unfortunatly...the pole took out my pass. side tail lamp lense.

I don't think it warrants a claim on the insurance, so I'd like to find a replacement lens. Can the lenses be replaced without having to buy the whole light housing??? I see the clear euro style ones on Ebay, but prefer the good ole stock ones. Does anyone know where I could snag one ( I am assuming the model years are from 1998-2001?) and for what kind of price to look for?????

Any help is always appreciated from this group!!!

Thanks,
Metauser

If you don't mind having to use a little elbow grease, check out your local salvage/auto recycling yard. I had to do the same on my '96.

Hey, thanks....I was meaning to tell everyone that I did just that. I went to a local auto parts salvage yard (aka junkyard) and was able to snag a used tail lamp for $35.00 and is in near perfect condition....

Thanks again,
