Cost of replacing a break light for my car?
Ford explorer 2001 model.
Bumped into a fence and it broke the plastic covering the bulb. Light still comes on and everything is fine, its just that the shell covering broke off. Do I have to contact ford dealership for the part or can I visit some random autoshop to replace it for me? What's the approx. Cost?
Pretty easy to change yourself.

The brake light assembly will need to be replace. Ford will charge you $300 to $400 for the assembly unit. However, there are several good quality aftermarket light assemblies that would only cost your around $60 to $80 or so. Brands such as TCY and Tycoon should be considered. You should be able to simply find it on Amazon as well.
The light assembly will be about 100 to 150, and the labor will be about 100.
Try a scrapyard
I presume it's a Ford part so any autoshop would order it from a Ford warehouse (or maybe a scrapyard)
Scope out the following websites for prices: rockauto.com, partstrain.com and autopartswarehouse.com.
Look in your Yellow Pages for junkyard / scrap yard. Call and ask for the make, model, yr and what side of truck you need. Four screws, wire socket / harness pulls / twists out, done.
To buy some time, go to automotive store and get some red duct tape to cover the light for now.
Look for used parts on ebay
- Need options on a break cylinder job for a 03 ford Taurus car? Need a few pointers and options on a car. So the break cylinder was bad and it got replaced. But it's still leaking a little fluid (not as much before it was replaced) and the car won't stop at all. Does the breaks need bled or what? The car won't stop period and it was driven for a bit with the cylinder bad. Is there a chance a lot of air is in the break lines and need bled? But would that make it leak a little fluid from the cylinder? Just need some options on what to do next.
