Just bought a 2010 MKZ and am really happy with it - spent some time yesterday trying to get the factory code for the keypad so I can set a personal code, but since I am not the first owner and don't have the wallet card, I couldn't get started. Called my local Lincoln dealer and they said - "Sure - bring the car and $60 dollars in and we'll retrieve it for you". Not thrilled with that response I looked around the internet and found the answer in the Mercury Milan forum. Get an extendable inspection mirror from your local hardware store for a few bucks and extend it up under the dashboard just to the left of the steering wheel. Next to and slightly above the fuse box there are a bunch of modules but only one will have a 5-digit number on a white sticker. You need the mirror to read it, but with the mirror it took me less than 30 seconds. Also - the printed documentation for setting the personal codes leaves out one critical step. You to have the key in the ignition to set a personal code (I left the sunroof open during the process just in case I locked it by mistake). Once I did that the process went as advertised. Hope this helps someone out there and saves them the $50-60 that the unhelpful dealers wanted.

this is for anyone that spent way too much time like me figuring out which LED bulbs to buy...the owners manual has some errors regarding the original replacement bulbs making this process extra special... dome light & 2 rear map lights = Phillips Festoon 43mm LED bulb 2 front map lights = Phillips 194 LED bulb the Festoon bulbs aren't that bright, but the 194's up front make up for it. license plate = 2 Phillips Festoon 38mm LED bulb puddle lamps = 2 Phillips 194 LED bulb (not the brightest but looks classy) fog lights = Nokya High Powered LED H8 H9 H11 compatible.
