headlight switch backlight 99 XLT by
Mikepier
Went to the dealer this morning and picked up the backlight bulb for
the headlight switch on my 99 XLT. This is the part # F87Z-13B765-DA.
It was $12, which is ridiculous. But in any event, it has a blue cover

remove the blue cover...

I am going to change the shocks myself soon on my 99 XLT. Monroe's
