| Description of the problem | This is the 2nd $400 rear tail light i've put on this car. It has led lamps and the whole light has to be replaced. Works fine without headlamps on and not when they are off. This can result in getting rear ended!!!!! Ford should step up and recall this. Hundreds of complaints on internet. And a 9. 5 out of 10 on nhtsa. Replacing a $2 bulb with a $400 led is dumb. |
