Replacing taillight cover
Anyone done this before? Is it fairly simple? Someone shoved a grocery cart into my right rear taillight cover, and popped a hole in it. Lights still work, and the shattered fragments are jammed into the hole (so I'm not in violation of any laws yet), but I hate the ascetics of it! Ford will sell me an entire assembly for $65-ish, but I'm afraid that it might be more complicated than it should be. Anyone know for sure if it's a cinch, or do I really need a pro to fix it?

Replacing taillight cover
Very simple. Open the tailgate. Remove the two female torx screws and remove the taillight assembly. It has 2 retaining pins so you might have to pull it a little to get it out. Disconnect the bulbs. Discard the old housing. Insert the bulbs into the new unit push into place and secure with the removed screws. Done.
Also check ebay they are cheaper there.
