  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!

  Led Third Brake

  This light is so much nicer than the original light. Gives a custom look and only one with plug and play for easy installation

  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!

  Putco smoke LED brake light

  I absolutely love the light. It only took about 2 minutes to change. A lot better than stock light. Very bright brake light, and the cargo light is bright . Highly recommend.

  In the "must have" category

  Seamless look, blends in with the appearance of the truck in a way which it almost seems factory. Then the lights come on and you get the wow factor. The lights are bright, and clear in both day or night. In a night setting you can easily see in the bed of truck for cargo and the bright led brake lights are great for safety as well. I strongly recommend this product to anyone looking to replace their stock or even previously purchased third brake light. You will not be disappointment in this one. I've also been rained on and taking it through the car wash and no leakage so a big thumbs up on that as well. Just get it..
