Post Euro Tail Lights

I'm looking for rear lights for my 99 Expedition. I am wanting to end up with yellow rear signals. I know like in England this is a must for vehicles... Does Ford make export lenses for the Expeditions?

Freddy, Please check out the Clear Lenses VS. The Law thread, it might help you to decide if you want to put the lights on.

I don't want the "Import" looking clear lenes... I was wanting to get a set like what is on the newer Explorer's. Red Brake and parking light lenses with YELLOW turn signal lens, and clear back up lights... all using clear bulbs....

Thanks!

I don't have any idea as to where you can find the "export" lenses for your Expo, but if you do find a source, PLEASE let us know on the message board....I would like to find a set w/ amber turn signals for my 98 F-150. I agree with you, I'd like amber turn signal-type lenses on my truck, much more than the clear lenses.

I've tried this on other vehicles in the past. The problem is that the separate color (amber lens or amber bulb) turn signals require two additional separate circuits, one to each side. I don't believe this is provided in the Expedition wiring loom. The only time I've been sucessful is when one model has versions with both types of signals. The same wiring loom was used on both models and thus it was a matter of changing the turn signal relay and rear turn signal units (not just the lenses as there is another bulb holder in the new ones).
