The 2019 Ranger taillight is a freakin AWACS radar system. I think we use it to track North Korean missles. Hence the $1200 price tag. The replacement taillights you see on eBay or through various parts distributors are for the older Ranger models. Not compatible. So I need a junkyard willing...
Thanks so much for the pic. I was going to take mine apart for investigative purposes. Saved me the time. As you can see from the pic , I snapped off all the red plastic and covered the clear lense with red taillight repair tape . $7! Not bad for a carpenter. I figure that eventually a bad...
Think I found the manufacturer and the plant. Trick is trying to find the right person or department to speak to. I’m sure they don’t want to talk to a consumer looking for a piece of plastic! As I’ve said, it works so I can be methodical. Better would be to know where the plastic is molded...
The lenses are glued in placed which is why I was looking for one from the manufacturer. If they just clipped on, yours would be missing! Think I found the point of manufacture for the light. Still a 100-1 shot but... I’m sure they don’t want to deal with it but there is an employee website much...

You said it’s in Ruckersville, do you know who owns or is in possession of the vehicle. Who to contact? When where why how?!? You seem very plugged in. I’m not.
No,collected after the damage. Light is still sealed and working fine! Hence my frustration with the quest for the overlay. C’ast la vie! Maybe a salvaged part or I’ll bite the bullet. At least it works so I won’t get pulled over.
Phil, I want to thank you for your thoughtful and informative post. Just to clarify, I certainly wasn’t suggesting any interruption to the assembly line. That would be madness! I don’t know if Ford makes the taillights or subs out the manufacture of the part elsewhere. I was suggesting that at...
