Get the Best Priced Ford Escape Tail Lights

Research on Tail Light for Ford Escape

Your Ford Escape tail lights glow bright red when you hit your brakes if they are working properly. This gives an indication to the vehicle behind you that you are slowing down or coming to a complete stop. What a fantastic safety feature, especially in bad weather. Sometime in inclement weather, very heavy rain or snowfall, the only part of the car you can see ahead of you is the tail lights. Even on a bright sunny day the difference between the regular red glow of a tail light compared to the increase in brightness caused by touching the brake pedal gives an unfocused driver behind you a small "wake up call." The importance of fully functioning tail lights and Ford Escape brake lights is obvious. If one or both is not working it is time to change them.

Tail Lights Are Tail Lights

It doesn't matter if we are discussing Ford Edge tail lights, Ford Explorer tail lights, or the tail lights on your Ford Escape, they are all basically the same. If your ford escape tail light covers are not cracked or broken, your fix can be very quick and inexpensive. Sometimes a non-functioning tail light can be simply fixed by checking if a fuse has blown very similar to how you would check if your Ford Escape head lights were not working. A fuse is a part of the electrical system in a car and is one of the easiest parts to check first. You can locate a schematic that tells what fuse goes to what electrical component in your SUV in the owner's manual or online.

Often a New Bulb Does the Trick

Most often replacing the bulb will complete the job and get you back on the road. Tail light housings can have several different bulbs or one bulb that performs different functions. Simply by knowing the year and model of your Ford Escape will determine what you need to replace. Assuming that there are several bulbs inside the tail light housing it makes sense to change them all when you have the housing off of your vehicle. Be careful not to touch the glass bulb directly with your hand. The oil from your skin can reduce the longevity of the bulb. If you decide to change the entire tail light housing, then the whole process is basically the same only you spend slightly more than just purchasing a couple of bulbs. This is a wise decision if it is broken to avoid the risk of being pulled over by the police for a broken tail light.
