Title: tail light assembly for 2004? - FOUND - now need tail pipe tip ! - Got it!!
Post by: Larry Rubin on December 27, 2011, 03:58:51 pm
I thought the light assembly is from a pick up truck, maybe Dodge or Ford --- anybody know specific mfg year for the tail light assembly for a 2004 295?

Part of mine melted from exhaust heat.  The tail pipe tip rusted off and the hot gases went up  behind the rear end and melted some of the plastic.

I believe (and you'll want to verify before paying for the part), 1997-2002 Ford Expedition.  Ford P/N
F75Z-13404-AC is RH (passenger) and F75Z-13405-AC is LH (driver)

Larry, These are Ford taillights and most of them are the same.  I have a used Left Side that I salvaged, I THINK that it is in the bay but it will take me a while to look with my back in its present condition.
I am in FL for a couple months, where are you located ?

Thanks to all --- I am at Parliment Coach in Clearwater, Fl.  The tech who is working on the exhaust went on his own to a u-pull it yard last night and just thinking it might be a Ford found one.  (Hows that for service?)  We compared the picture he took and I'm going to get it this morning.  Now, all I need is an exhaust tip.

Larry, Glad you found a lens.  You should be able to find an exhaust tip at any truck parts store and some truck stops or chrome shops have them.
We are at Davenport off I4, maybe will see you in Brooksville if you go.

Thanks Gary ---we are not planning to go to Brooksville this year -- long story but although we love the coach, we have been it a lot this year already. 
 
Funny how sometimes you just get lucky and go through 2 steps to solve a problem vs. the usual 15 to 100.  The u-pull place was about a mile away - hardest part was the long walk past all the GM wrecks and then the Chrysler wrecks before I got to the Ford section.    FYI - the light cost $20 plus tax - I took both lleft and right off the Ford.  I found it new on line for $23 from a place in California.

Got the tail pipe tip --- all is well again.
