Remove the two screws at the top of the lamp unit. Pull out the unit
ignoring the horrible sounding wrenching noise (this is normal). Go to a
breakers yard, buy a replacement lamp unit and refit.

if you can change the bulb you can change the whole unit just lift the tail
gate and remove the screws around the tail ligth i believe the are two or
three screws the tail light will come right out

ebay is where I got one for my sporttrac.

If you live in Canada, most auto parts suppliers can get these parts
http://www.crosscanadaparts.com/cgi-...l?img_num=584A
rather inexpensively. I'ved used their parts often and they appear to be
decent quality. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a US equivalent.
