Junk yard part would be fine, around my area it's about half the cost of new. A decent junk yard has the info available as to what years are compatible. Just call them up, or stop in w/ your car year , make , model, they'll help you out.countrycurt0

    The lens is probably held in by 2 screws. Take them out, remove what's left of the lens and look inside to see if the assembly is damaged (cracked, split, smashed, etc.) if not, you only need the lens. Junk yard might not want to separate, as the assembly needs a lens to sell. Dealer should have a lens, call for availability and price. countrycurt0

Need to replace tail lights on 1993 mercury capi
Pretty basic stuff...open the trunk and move the trunk liner material away from the rear of the car to expose wiring for the tail lights...there are 3 light bulbs per side, the backup, brakes and tail lights...just twist the plug where it connects to the lens assembly and the socket will come out...remove the bulb and take it to the auto parts store to make sure you purchase the correct replacement...if your lenses are broken, there are 6 nuts to remove that lets the entire lens assembly be removed and replaced with one from a junk yard, you cannot buy these new anymore...good luck...

How do I remove the cover over the fog light to change the bulb. Cover is held in place by flat plugs? Do you pry them off? This is in the wheel well.
You change it from the front of the car.

To remove the fog light - firmly grasp the black plastic lens protector along the outer edges and twist it to the left (counter-clockwise) to remove it.
Now remove the two bolts just above the fog light - the whole thing comes out as an assembly. Then you can disconnect the socket from the back of the assembly

Do I need to repalce entire light unit on passenger side if just the lens is broken?
Yes there is no other way to get it. You can buy the whole assembly through a salvage yard for very little.

Cae was stolen and recovered. they broke the ignition. how do I replace the steering column Is it necessary to replace the entire column?
Hi,

I am sure this would work by just replacing the ignition switch, not the entire steering column.

However it also depends on how bad was it broken.

Please let us know for future assistance.
Thanks

All rear end lights; brakes, reverse, turn signals not working when activated. checked all fuses, all ok
Often times the light socket assembly will become overheated in the Montana, (& Chevrolet Venture vans) and this will cause a bad contact between the light bulb and the socket. Sometimes it will also melt the plastic of the light assembly. If this happens, replace the entire assembly.

If it is not melted, sometimes just taking a screwdriver and pushing the light assembly contacts closer together will fix it - although in my experience you usually will end up replacing the light assembly after a little while (just putting off the unavoidable).

Many salvage yards should have this part if you want to save a few bucks.
