This direct-replacement LED third brake light updates older incandescent fixtures with a long-lasting, low-maintenance module that fits many Ford trucks from the mid-1990s through 2016. It’s designed to match factory mounting locations on models equipped with cargo lights and includes a foam gasket for weather resistance.

Will this Partsam third brake light fit my truck?

This unit fits a range of Ford models when the vehicle has the factory cargo-light-ready roof mount. It lists compatibility with 1999–2016 F250/F350/F450/F550, 2001–2005 Explorer Sport Trac, 1993–2001 Ranger, and B2300/B3000/B4000 1994–2009 models, and corresponds to factory part numbers YC3Z13A613BA and CC3Z13A613B. If your truck originally lacked cargo lights, minor wiring or mounting changes may be required.

• Direct replacement for cargo-light-equipped roof mounts on listed Ford models
• Matches factory bolt pattern and wiring plug for compatible vehicles
• Non-cargo models may require wiring from the dome light or minor modification
• Check original part number or physical mounting before ordering

How bright and durable is the LED module compared to the original bulb?

The Partsam assembly uses a chrome housing and clear lens with high-intensity LEDs, delivering stronger, more consistent light than aging incandescent bulbs. LEDs are less prone to filament failure and generally require less maintenance. The kit includes a foam gasket and recommends additional RTV or silicone for improved long-term waterproofing.

• Super-bright full LED array for improved visibility
• Chrome housing and clear lens for a modern appearance
• Foam gasket included; add silicone for extra sealing protection
• No bulbs to replace—LEDs reduce routine maintenance

What do the cargo lights and wiring do, and how do they operate?

This assembly integrates cargo-mode lighting: red LEDs activate with the brake, while the white cargo LEDs illuminate with the vehicle’s interior dome light. The two outer white lamps are not reverse lights; they are controlled by the dome/cargo light circuit. If your truck didn’t originally have cargo lights, you can run a lead from the dome light circuit to the new connector to enable the white cargo illumination.

• Red LEDs: brake signal only
• White LEDs: tied to interior dome light as cargo illumination
• Outer white lamps are not reverse lights—do not wire to reverse circuit
• Non-cargo trucks: add a dome-light feed to enable white LEDs

What should I know before installing this replacement lamp?

Installation is straightforward for experienced owners: remove the old lamp, clean the mounting flange, and attach the new unit using existing screw locations when possible. Save the factory screws because the replacement does not include them. Avoid overtightening screws and use rubber washers to help seal screw penetrations.

• Clean gasket area with alcohol before installing new gasket
• Save and reuse original screws; new light does not include them
• Use rubber washers and a light bead of RTV or silicone for a better seal
• Leave unused factory sockets empty if the new lamp uses a single plug

Who this is for: This Partsam LED third brake light is ideal for owners of compatible Ford F-Series, Ranger and B-series trucks who want a brighter, modern-looking center cab brake/cargo light with reduced upkeep. It’s best for vehicles already equipped for cargo lights or DIYers comfortable with minimal wiring and sealing steps on non-cargo models. Choose this if you want a durable LED upgrade that restores function and improves rear visibility without extensive body work.
