| Description of the problem | When the headlights are on the rear driver's side tail light does not light as brightly as the passenger side. I have had several people bring this to my attention beginning in approximately sept 2014. My sister in law followed me one night and it drove her absolutely crazy. I have had many people express concerns that i may get stopped for this. I inquired yesterday at the ford dealer about getting this fixed and was told that the whole unit needs to be replaced because they are led lights. Approximate cost is $410 plus tax. I since have looked on line to inquire about replacing it myself and found that this is a common problem for mercury milans and ford fusions. |
