License plate lights...

I noticed I had a license plate light out last night and dismissed it as a burnt out bulb. Come to see this morning, that the bulb cover is busted. Are there any places to get these without going to Ford??

Thanks,
Phil

I'm trying to look it up on Ford's website and can't find it. The part number is SAE-L-79MG.
Any idea how much these things cost?

Yes, but I wonder if it's cheaper to order them through that website or just call Ford and get them there. Since it's automatic $14.99 shipping. What do you all think?

Well, do what I did this morning, order from http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS

I would have waited for the Dealership, but it's memorial weekend and they'll be closed monday. So I went ahead and ordered from the website. The USPS shipping was only $6.99. Plus, they're based out of Texas, won't take long for my order to come in.
