New 3RD Brake Light.
 
3 Attachment(s)
My lens started looking like crap for the last year and a half on my 3rd brake light. Ford factory original parts didn't show a replacement part. I figured I would have to live with it, until I finally found one. I was going to do a "how to change your 3rd brake light" Thread, until I did it. It is so easy that a monkey could do it :).

Top picture is the old 3rd brake light. I could wax it and would look pretty good for a couple days. The middle picture is the new 3rd brake light. The bottom picture is the new lens installed.

The new brake light is plug and play with led lights. I guess made in China, I didn't look. The old factory one was made in Mexico with the lights made in China :(

That lens looks like 20 minutes with a headlight restoration kit would do wonders...

Should have just sanded the trunk down to match the brake light David ;)
Looking good though

20 minutes every 4-5 weeks was getting old. My Mustang was over 5 years old when this started looking bad, I hope the new one last as long :)

My truck takes more, she should have paid for mine, although I was just getting lawn mower gas

While you two were buying gas. I dug the grave in the morning. Did the burial a couple hours later. I even sang a hymn and said the last words. :grin:

See what a nice brother you are.
Have you waxed the brake light yet, clear tint might stop that from happening again.

I'm afraid to touch it :shame:

If this one last as long as the factory one did, I'll be happy. I've done a lot of wiping and waxing :)
