2005+ Tail light problems

[donman]

Hi everyone, Is it just me or am i the only one out there that notices one or more of the six tail lights are out, on a lot of 2005 threw 2008 models. I went to the Ford dealer and they charged $ 179.00 to replace some of the wiring. Now before you tell me that i got screwed, I did take the back apart myself and switched the bulbs. And they still didn't work. I went back about three weeks later and they did have to replace a bulb. two months later i had to replace a bulb on the left hand side. I know everyone is going to say that its just my car. But i drive 100 miles round trip to work and back daily and i see at least one Mustang 2005 threw 2008 with a light bulb out. I think Ford put in bad bulbs of bad wiring. Please let me know if I'm the only one or if you have seen a few out there for yourself..

are they random lights that are 'burnt out'? or are they a in a specific 'section'? i know when you hit the brakes, only the outer two 'sections' will light up and the inner-most one will not, and it's normal (but there is a diy 'mod' that will make all three show up)

I wonder if it's the same wiring you could have replaced yourself w/ a set of sequentials?

I was also facing the same problem. I went to my car showroom and contacted the dealer.
