Partsam LED Third Brake Light for Ford F250–F550 1999–2016 — Red Lens, Chrome Housing

Partsam High Mount Third Brake Light is a direct-fit LED replacement for many Ford F-Series, Ranger and B-series trucks that restores center roof brake, cargo and dome illumination with bright, long-lasting LEDs.

This LED center-mount lamp replaces the factory third brake/cargo light assembly on compatible Ford trucks (F250/F350/F450/F550 Super Duty 1999–2016, Explorer Sport Trac 2001–2005, Ranger 1993–2001, B2300/B3000/B4000 models). Designed with a chrome housing and red lens, the unit combines red brake LEDs with white cargo/dome LEDs for updated visibility and a modern appearance. It ships with a foam gasket and rubber O-ring washers to reduce leaks and simplify attachment to the cab roof lip.

Which Ford models and part numbers does this lamp fit?

This Partsam assembly fits trucks originally equipped with a center cargo/third brake light. Confirm fitment by comparing your truck's mounting shape and connector. Common OEM reference numbers associated with compatible units include YC3Z13A613BA and CC3Z13A613B.

• F250, F350, F450, F550 Super Duty: 1999–2016
• Explorer Sport Trac: 2001–2005
• Ranger: 1993–2001
• B2300: 1994–2009, B3000: 1994–2007, B4000: 1994–2009
• Only fits vehicles with existing cargo-light provisions without modification

How do the LEDs behave and what lighting functions are included?

The assembly separates functions between red brake LEDs and white cargo/dome LEDs. The red LEDs illuminate with brake application, while the white LEDs operate with the vehicle's interior dome light circuit to provide cargo-area illumination.

• Bright full-LED array replaces incandescent bulbs for longer life
• Red LEDs activate with brake pedal input
• White LEDs turn on with interior/dome light switch (not reverse lights)
• If your truck lacks cargo light wiring, a simple dome-light tap provides white-light function

What should I know about installation and weatherproofing?

Installation is straightforward for mechanically comfortable owners but keep the original screws and verify connectors before removing the old lamp. A foam gasket is included; applying a thin bead of clear RTV or silicone across the top seam improves long-term weather resistance.

• Clean mating surfaces with alcohol before fitting the gasket
• Rubber O-ring washers supplied for a secure seal at mounting points
• Retain factory screws—new fasteners are not provided
• A small amount of silicone RTV across seams helps prevent leaks

Will this replace my factory light without extra wiring or modifications?

In many cases the lamp plugs into the factory connector and mounts in the original location, but vehicles without prewired cargo lights may require a simple wire tap to the dome light circuit. The aftermarket assembly uses a single plug; if your OEM connector has multiple plugs, leave unused sockets empty.

• Direct plug-in for most trucks with cargo-light provision
• One-plug design—ignore any extra factory connector ports
• Minor wiring needed only for trucks originally without cargo lamps
• Avoid overtightening screws to prevent cracking the housing

Who is this for: This Partsam LED high-mount brake and cargo lamp is aimed at Ford truck owners seeking a direct replacement that modernizes rear center lighting with LEDs. It suits drivers who want improved visibility, a more contemporary look, and a durable assembly for trucks that already have a cargo-light cutout. If you plan to install it yourself, basic hand tools and attention to sealing will yield a professional result; otherwise a quick visit to a technician or body shop will finish the swap.
