  Excellent

  Works perfect. Love how bright it is! FYI on my 2013 platinum their is 1 bulb on far right that you don’t need anymore. Just remove the bulb and put the harnis back in. Love it! Looks awesome too!

  Putco 3rd brake light

  This 3rd brake light is great. It’s so much brighter than the stock light and gives a nice touch with a set of led tail lights. The gasket is so thick. When mounting I got it as tight as possible before I thought it would break. It doesn’t sit flush because how thick the gasket is. Not a big problem. As long as it doesn’t leak like my stock one did. Not like anyone would see it anyways unless they are in the bed looking directly at it from the top. Overall the light sets the rear end off and looks great. Would buy again

  Fantastic Upgrade!

  I ordered this light to combat the leaky OEM third brake light problem, but also to upgrade my third brake light in the process. I can say that this light exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and visibility. The LED lights are extremely bright and very visible, and the water seal around the light is superb and a definite upgrade to the OEM seal. When you unlock and lock the doors, the light fades on and off respectively, which looks really cool. The plug and play option is also great if you don’t want to deal with wiring.

  Looks great

  I love this light. Looks real good against my black truck. The light is bright. Mine doesn't look pink like others but also not a true bright red which is fine. The seal is THICK! Not worried one bit about water getting behind it like the factory light on our trucks. Also love how only the two light sockets are used but gives you a place to clip the unused one so it isn't just hanging there. Very well made product.

  Awesome lights

  The light is very nice. The red break light is very bright. The cargo light is bright as well. It’s a very nice LED light kit to have. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a LED third brake light kit. It took my 15 year old son less then 5 minutes to install them. It’s a plug and play kit. You can’t beat it. I love it.

  Bright 3rd Brake Light

  This is an awesome bright led light!! Easy 10 minute installation plug and play into the existing bulb sockets. I also thought my Putco Smoked led was “pink” at first but it is because all white and red leds light up when the doors are open. Once the doors are closed for 10 seconds it goes red. Bright red when braking and bright white when in reverse or DTR. Smoked lens could be a shade darker so the leds shine through. Could be cheaper. Only reasons not 5 stars. Otherwise great purchase.

  Good construcion, but wrong LED's color.

  This would be a great product if Putco could get it right. As always the ordering and shipping with AT was fast and easy. The Putco Smoked LED Third Brake Light is build to exceed OEM quality and I love the fact that it is a true plug and play installation. Unfortunately after I was done with the installation. I realize that the LED's in it were PINK, not a light shade of red, but pink. Thankfully, after sending some pictures to AT customer service they were able to help me with the return. This is sad in the sense, that it is a well build product, but someone dropped the ball in the quality control department before the final packaging at Putco.

  Easy Installation

  This is a great product to update your old bulbs to LED or to fix the dreaded third brake light leak issue. Installation was a breeze. Just remove the old bulbs and install the new light directly into the existing harness. The only issues I’ve had thus far (reason for only 4 stars) is that (1) the white leds drown out the red and the light looks pink at night. And (2) while installing it, I have 3 bulbs in my original light, only 2 new led wires to connect and the third hole in the new light doesn’t allow me to install the old bulb into it. So my third bulb is just kinda chillin behind the light. Not sure what’s up with that, but it works great so I won’t worry too much about it.

  Great product

  Works perfectly. Plug and play just as advertised and the LED's look great! I do wish the housing was just a little darker smoke tint, but all in all I think this is a great product and would recommend to anyone looking to update their ugly stock 3rd brake light.

  3rd Brake Light problem Solved

  Had a third brake light that leaked like many other F150s. This light has a much thicker gasket than stock and it looks great. Worth the money!

  No cutting or slicing needed!

  After getting the dreaded 3rd brake light water leak that seems to affect many of the 09-14 F150's, I set out on trying to figure out the best solution. I could have "mickey moused" it and applied clear silicone around the stock lens and had a quick, cheap, fix, as a lot of youtubers recommend but I didn't want to cut corners or have to cut it all off and reapply it if I ever needed to replace a burnt out bulb. I could have purchased an OEM light but didn't want to deal with this same leak again in 5-6 years. The Recon or Anzo brand lights looked nice, but I didn't want to have to cut and slice wiring to make it work. This light, while a few dollars more expensive, than other aftermarket LED's or the OEM replacement was the only aftermarket LED light that I could find that was truly plug and play. Unscrew the stock lens, remove the stock bulbs, and plug in the leads from the Putco light and reassemble. The installation took approximately 3 minutes. A very easy install and the light looks great! I've had it on my truck for over a week now. We've had a quite a few down pours in the Pacific Northwest, and there has been absolutely no water leaking into the cab. The seal is much thicker than the stock OEM one and the LED's are so much brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs. The only negative that I can find is that the cargo lights while much brighter, don't shine into the bed quite the way the stock lights did, however I hardly ever needed that function. I'm very happy with this product and glad I spent the extra dough to fix it correctly. I highly recommend the Putco 3rd brake light!
