2002 xlt
Had a fender bender and it broke my rear drivers side tail ligh lens on my 2002 XLT! Rather than make Ford even more wealthy than they r now I want to replace it myself. Does anybody know of any reference sites that I can go to to get detailed instructions on how to do this, or has anybody done it already and can offer some advice....or is the job pretty easy to figure out?

Thanks for your help!

If the 3rd gens are anything like 1st and second gens all you need is a philips head screw driver. Remove the two screws then pull out the tail light, i think the rest is self explanatory.
 






also if its ilke the first and second gen...when you pull you will have to pull hard, and when you do you'll hear a nasty loud clicking snapping sound...it sounds like your breaking something but its just the way its held in
