Bruce2174 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just went to the dealer to pick up a light bulb for a rear stop light that burnt out... They told me that I couldnt get one and I would have to opurcase the whole assembly for $82.00 !!!??? when they found out the milege was 24000 they said it was still under waranty , to put the assmbly back in the hole so they could take a pickture to show there was no damage and they could order a bulb! What up with that ford ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdamay Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Never heard of that before, it sounds ridiculous! The owner's manual tells you how to take off the light assembly and replace the bulb, why would they tell you how to do that if you could only replace the entire thing? FWIW the bulb is a 7443 according to the Sylvania bulb guide. I sure wouldn't go back to that dealer in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce2174 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks for the info, I did remove the bulb from the light assembly, the dealer did not have it , either did my local auto supplier but after your input and a little more research, I found the bulbs at autozone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdamay Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Good that you got it taken care of! And presumably for a fraction of what the Ford dealer wanted for a whole light assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan MI Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 sounds like it's time to find a new Ford dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncranchero Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah, 7443. One of mine went out. The company I work for is a lighting (all kinds) dealer and we didn't have them. Went to Advance, no got. Went to AutoZone got a 2-pack for about $8.00. Went back a showed the boss the bill. We now carry them, our cost is $.52 each !
