Leave it burnt out and risk getting a ticket.  You can't get the part
except from a Ford dealer.

For a time after my neon tube shattered, I had one of those $19.95 LED light
strips INSIDE where the neon tube used to be.  It lasted for three years
before I broke down and purchased the assembly from Ford for about $212.

Time to hit the junkyard.  Lots of rollovers out there.  Don't pay more than
25% of the price of the new part.  

Once a car hits 5 or 6 years old I hit the junkyards.  For instance:
Transfer case reman installed by dealer is 1,800 - 2,000.  Junkyard or used
150 to 400 for the case.  I'll install it for those kinds of savings.

Good luck!
