Did you know that it's very easy to replace your amber side repeaters with the clear ones from a Ford Ranger? carefully remove the side repeater/indicator. (I used a flexible card such as my Blockbuster card placed it under the indicator, pushed back and pulled toward me at the same time, it pops right out.)
The bulb insert for the Maverick/Escape/Tribute has 4 small 'ears' that enter the indicator unit, but the Ranger indicator only has 2 small slots into which these 'ears' can enter.
It's simple really. File or cut down two of the opposing ears on the bulb holder until you can push the holder into the new clear indicator and twist. Hey presto! job done! Snap the indicator back into the fender, as the holes are identical.
As you can see from my sig pic. It's a very simple/cheap but effective mod. :smile:
*Don't forget, you will also need an amber bulb to replace the existing clear one.* :doh:
