Use the Sylvania LongLife bulbs and replace
them all while you have the darn taillight assembly out.
There is a write up for sequentials that shows removing
and replacing the taillight assembly.

Beware of scratching the paint with the mounting
studs when you pull the housing out.
Be mighty careful.

Tough crowd! Buy the bulb from an Autozone and they can install it for free.

When you do it, make sure that you don't destroy the plastic retainer pins that hold the plastic trim on.Lift out the pin in the center, then lift the rest of the fastener.

Hey Phillip, what you really should do is take out the bad bulbs, then first go to an auto store and buy new replacements, then go to your Ford dealership and buy a new stang to put the new bulbs in. Onward, Jack. []

Bad Idea dont let Auto Parts sotre people help you with your car... most of them are in a hurry and dont want to help you and will probably break something while doing it if you have the time do it yourself

While you are messing with it might as well put a sequential setup in there

When you get the people at Autozone to replace your bulb ask them to check your blinker fluid also.
