PIT66 3rd Brake Light Compatible with 2004-2008 Ford F150 High Mount Center Rear Roof Third Cargo Light Parking Light Halogen Clear/Red Lens Tercera luz de freno

My original F-150 3rd brake-light had become dry-rotted somewhat. I bought the truck new in 2008 so this same brake light had been on the truck for 15 years, most of which, it was kept outside the garage. I needed this quickly and the shipping was fast. Actually got it 1 day earlier than expected. Installation was relatively smooth. The harness does work but I opted to not use the harness due to needing to remove the inner headliner where the harness connects. What I did do was cut the wires that lead to the bulbs, cut my old wires, and splice the cables to the original harness (Just Youtube for this "patching or splicing new 3rd light brake harness). The light itself improved my vision in the late afternoons during winter (gets dark quickly), when I have to back my truck into my driveway. I was shocked at how dim my old light had gotten compared to these new bulbs. And best of all, no more leaks in the cab (only had 1 small leak which is what made me realize my old one was cracked open). The fit is near perfect. I did add some silicone around the seal to help prolong the life of the seal. If you're okay with some light workarounds and have 30 minutes, this will work for you.

I have a 2004 F-150. When i took off the old light housing noticed that the connector was not accessible. Even gently pulling on it. I searched a popular video share site to get help and found a great video which i cannot post here. As an over-60 woman was impressed that i could take care of making that connector more accessible. Basically you do need to access the space from inside the truck. A small pry bar to pull off the two circular plugs on the very back ceiling panel. Gently pull down to see the connector. My connector was anchored to a subframe, again using the pry bar carefully - i was able to dislodge the connector and push it outside through the hole. Connection was perfect. Reverse to replace the ceiling panel usually just pushing the plugs in by hand or tapping with a soft mallet (make sure you finish connecting first, my wire was not very long and had to hold on to it while disconnecting and connecting). As other reviewers have said, it does fit perfectly, comes with a gasket and actually looks/works like a factory install.

Great product

Quality parts at good prices!

Part arrived quickly and perfectly and is now installed and working. There were two challenges during the install: 1. The primary connector wouldn't pull through the opening in the roof because the cable was too short, requiring removal of the headliner in the cab to get to the connector, which I didn't want to do. 2. The lamp socket on the new part was a different design from the original part. In reading the comments from others and seeing one person that had the same issues, I decided to use their solution--keep the original cable in place and cut its wires to the lamps, cut the lamp sockets off the new part, solder the new lamp sockets onto the old cable. I used open barrel crimps rather than soldering and this all worked well. Then tested, everything worked. Then fastened the new part in place with the watertight seal between the part and the roof, and all that fit perfectly. In my case the installation wasn't as straightforward as plug it in and done. I had to do some wire cutting and adapting, which wasn't especially difficult since I have the tools and knowhow. For somebody that doesn't have those tools or knowledge and time available, they would have had to seek help or send the part back.

Works great and easy to install

Works great fits great.
