The center brake light is burned out on my 96 Explorer. I went to a parts store and asked for a bulb. They looked in a book (it wasn't on their computer) and sold me one that seemed way too small for $1.60. When I got home, and tried to change it, I realized that I couldn't get to the bulb without cutting some rivets. At the same time, I determined that the bulb I got is probably not the right one. I called the parts counter at the local Ford dealer, and they told me that the light is sold only as a unit, and it is about $250 for the part. Has anyone here replaced or repaired the light any cheaper than that? Is there something else I should check before shelling out big bucks for a new light?
