[Shotimes] RE: Best way to repair rear plastic tail lamp. (RESOLVED)

[Carl Prochilo]

Thanks Al, Joe and Ron.  At first I was confused by the two similar
but slightly different instructions, one stating there were 3 and
another saying there were 4 thumbscrew nuts.  It became a little
more obvious when I went to the junk yard and found about 4 Taurus
cars, two of which had good tail lamps.  And guess what?  One had 3
and the other had 4 thumbscrew nuts.  I knew that the 95 used the 3
nut version, and I'm betting the 92 uses 4 nuts.  I got both because
my 92 can be replaced as well.  Not sure exactly when Ford changed
the design.

One of the lamps had caulking where the screw passes through the
body.  That looked like a good idea so I decided to do it when I
intalled the tail lamp in the 95.
