Leave it burnt out and risk getting a ticket. You can't get the part except from a Ford dealer.
For a time after my neon tube shattered, I had one of those $19.95 LED light strips INSIDE where the neon tube used to be. It lasted for three years before I broke down and purchased the assembly from Ford for about $212.
Time to hit the junkyard. Lots of rollovers out there. Don't pay more than
25% of the price of the new part.Once a car hits 5 or 6 years old I hit the junkyards. For instance: Transfer case reman installed by dealer is 1,800 - 2,000. Junkyard or used
150 to 400 for the case. I'll install it for those kinds of savings.Good luck!
