I was looking through some of the stuff I saved on lightnings and happened accross this. I don't know anybody that tried it....So I have no idea if this is true and works.

Hey Franko:
That'sa gooda Italian name!
My L was 2 days old when I installed my kit. I have problems with allergies and I think it works great!

Ford part number F65Z-18D477-AA List $100--ouch! good guy price $58.60 This is a kit. If you go to the parts department and have them look up on the computer for just the filter cover endcap and filter and screws is all that you need. I think it might be cheaper this way than the full kit?

Installation is no problem. Use a sharp box knife. The cut lines are already there. If you are a short person, no problem. Tall guys, look for a backache after installing. Look up under the glove box area, you'll see 2 or 3 bolt cover. Remove it. You'll see the air duct and also the blower motor against the passenger side kick pannel, right by the computer. The full kit has a aluminum template deely that you don't need to use--because it already marked where to cut from the factory. Just remove that piece of plastic, sand smooth, then push the filter up, screw on new filter cover. That's it!

Thats a nice Idea. Wish there was a picture or something. I assume the filter is washable. Seems like it would be more of a hassle than realy be good enough for allergies like a heppa filter.

It would filter ALL the air coming through the vents / ducts. Does'nt matter if it's fresh air or recirculated.
