SD is different. Your best bet is used

 

Thank you for the reply, thought they looked a little different. Looks like I'll be going to a scrap yard

 

sorry to bring up a slightly stale/old thread but my 3rd brake light housing melted on the inside the bulbs obviously over heated and ive searched every junkyard around every bronco and F series truck and they all look the same as mine very melted and not even worth paying money for junkyard prices for those housings evin in terrible condition is outrageous.

Are the LED 3rd brakelights worth trying?

 

Curious as well cause I looked on LMC and they don't carry the cargo lamps W/high mount stop light.

They have the bulbs but not the housings and mine is hazed over as well as the reflector somehow got jacked up and it wont come out of the truck, I have decided just to bust it out but id rather have a replacement to go in.

Are the LED units even worth it cause I don't want used.

I understand this thread is almost a year stale but didn't see the need to start a new one and clutter the board.

 

I've had no ill effects from my LED replacement from eBay just needs some red transparent Vht spray paint down the center for a more stock look and chrome scuff up and paint black and violá!

 

Which one did you buy if you remember? Also is it possible to pull the outer lens off and vht the inner side versus the outer and it getting chalky and nasty.

 

All I know is that it was around 40 bucks I think and had the same connector as the truck so now wiring to figure out mine is clear lense with chrome bezel very nice bright illumination even for the cargo light and doesn't get hot and melt like the stock one did. PO used high wattage bulbs I guess. As far as getting the lens off I remember looking how to remove but never got that far so never painted bezel black or Vht red over the red LEDs. The reason I want to is I saw a picture of a LED 3rd light done like that and looked really close to a replacement better than factory.

 

Yeah I want the factory red

 

If you get red lens it won't have a cargo light

 

I saw that but that's ok with me cause I hate how to turn on the cargo light you have to turn on the interior lights and if I wanna check something in my bed while driving at night I cant see out of the rear window.

I was gonna wire some other lights under the bed rails for cargo lights plus I plan to have a headache rack and can wire the reverse lights as cargo lights to the same switch.

 

I just put this one on my truck tonight. The cargo lights seem bright enough to me, and when I step on the brake it definitely lights up red
I plan to add some under rail cargo lights at some point, but this is better than the dingy yellow lights.

Hope that helps some.

 

well im ordering the one in the link we will see how I like it, gonna drop it by a paint shop to see if they can paint the exterior where it wont fade or haze out if I cant get the cover separated.

 

I may have a good condition used stock 3rd brake light laying around, if anyone is interested PM me.

 

Of course i see this after i install the LED one, i like it though just wish the lens was red completely forgot to take it to a paint shop to see if that could seperate and tint the interior.

 

Had to do a little work on it but the LED's can be made to look pretty good



And please don't judge my dented roof. Its embarrassing....

 

I was more wondering what the like a boss sticker was about :hehe: oke

 

the "B" is a 13. I graduated in 2013 so we had that on our senior shirts and everything. :nod:unk:

 

So like 13 oss's

 

Or 130 SS's? :shrug:

Or is there something significant about the number 13,055?....

 

Not sure how large of a generation gap were trying to cross here but there's a song called like a boss that was popular with us young people mostly because of how stupid it was. So the phrase "like a boss" kind of caught on thus we added it to our senior memorabilia. :lol2:

 

Class of 2013 right here too! Haha heck yeah. Approve memos, like a boss! 😄

If you graduated last year were almost a decade apart, and I remember that song, it was pretty awful lol

 

Yea i graduated in 13 too, our shirts said the exact same thing lol.

 

No originality with y'all's generation then oke



Unless your from the same school :dunno:

 

Oh no we were very aware it wasn't our idea we stole it from another school who stole it from another school and so on. lol But it really only worked with people that graduated in 13 so that's what makes it original to our generation :haha: and yes that was a pretty awful song
