yeah, i just had the same problem. i tried to get the lenses out because i could not get my hands behind the hitch and wound up breaking the lights. oh well, cost me $16 for 2 new tag light housings and bulbs.

That trailer hitch does suck when your trying to remove the light bulb. I had my fair share of squizing my hand and bending my arm awkward (sp?) Those lens housing appers that you can pop them off with a flat head screwdriver but I learned the hardway.

If you spend the dime on a new housing, I would go ahead and buy some LED replacement bulbs. If you put the same bulbs in they will get just as hot and melt the darn things again. Stupid design by ford...
