Default Sidelights still available???.........

One of my sidelights have come lose as a lug has broken off the back with it getting brittle at a guess. Rather than and fix it, id rather buy new ones as it would bug me knowing thats its not right.

I dont trust my Ford dealer at all now, so dont even bother wasting my time with them to be honest. Even when they say its available, then it turns out to be the wrong part anyway.

Anyone know for definate if they are still available from Ford and how much???? A part number would be great too.

Cheers.

should be still available, pretty sure they were around £20 odd per side, also worth noting if your a purist then I believe the backing on them is different to the originals (well something is)

before you fit then stretch the spring a bit to take some tension off it thats why they break, the spring has far too much tension on it..
