Smile Rear Tail Lights

After work,I turned my rear tail lights from 2 stop lights into 4 lower lights. I have 4 tail lights and 4 stop lights. I think looks better . Now it is not uneven with just top two being stop lights, and bottoms as tail lights . All for working evenly.


PS noticed that rear finders are plastic.

William- Im not quite clear on what
you rewired your tail lights to do.
I believe the rear fenders are
fiberglass. The hood, by the way is
aluminum.

Mr. Mallo,

Would you please elaborate on what you did to your tail lights, where you got parts (pn's, etc.). I have been wanting to do this, but haven't had time to tear into it.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like he just rewired the lights so they would all work in sync instead of the top two lights doing all the work (i.e. turn signals and brake lights). You know, that just might look pretty cool. Too bad the 2000's got rid of a bulb.

The bottom plug for lower tail light, has an empty hole. the socket all ready has same bulb as upper. I installed a pin with a short wire in to lower plug. Then tied into upper plug(back probed,no cut wires). Taped new wire to out side of OE wires. Did not take very long, 15-20min to do both sides.
As to looking better, I think ford should have made it that way, and apears at ford allmost did since uses same bulbs (top+bottom).
