Product Description
Ford Thunderbird 2002-2006 Stainless Surround Ring Package, 8 Pieces (ML43670)
The title calls ML43670 a "Marker Light Accent," but the note tells a fuller story. It reads: "Surround ring package Includes Door Handles, Fog Lights, Front and Rear Marker Lights." So this eight-piece set of polished stainless rings is meant to frame several features on the 2002-2006 Ford Thunderbird, not only the marker lights. The listing doesn't break down how many rings go to each feature, so the product photos are the guide to which ring fits where.
Fitment
Ford Thunderbird, 2002 through 2006, 2-door, in both Coupe and Convertible form. One part number covers both body styles. Check the Thunderbird is a 2002 to 2006, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with ML43670 if in doubt.
Material and mounting
Each ring is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. The rings attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing comes off the car. There's no ring size or width in the record.
Sorting eight rings before you start
With rings going to door handles, fog lights and marker lights at both ends, the sorting step is where the job is won or lost. Lay all eight rings on a clean towel. Using the product photos, hold each one up to the feature you think it belongs to, liner still on, and check the shape. When a ring matches, write its location on the liner. Do this for every ring before you peel a single one. If two rings look alike, compare them against both candidate locations; small differences in curve are easy to miss.
Cleaning around each feature
Door handle areas collect hand oils, and lights collect road film. Wash each spot with soapy water, dry it, then wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it evaporate. Check the paint near each feature for chips or flaking, which the tape can't fix. On a car of this age, it's worth repairing any damaged spots before stainless frames them, since a bright ring draws the eye to whatever sits next to it.
Installing
Work one feature at a time. Look at the ring straight on so the margin around the handle or lens is even, mark a reference beside it with painter's tape, then peel and press around the full edge. Don't press on lenses. A dry day inside the Installation tab's temperature range is ideal.

Installation tips: Marker Light Accent
- Unpack all 8 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
