How to Install Recon LED Third Brake Light on your F-150

Installation Time

30 minutes


1. Please reference the table below to determine where the wires coming out of the back of your new RECON LED 3rd Brake Lamp are to be connected on your truck:


2. There are two options to properly connect the RECON LED 3rd Brake Lamp to your O.E. wires:

Option 1: Cut off your three O.E. bulb connectors, and connect the wires of your new RECON LED 3rd Brake Lamp to your O.E. wires as depicted in the wire color cross reference chart shown above.

Option 2: If you want to retain your O.E. connector plug, you must splice the wires a few inches before the O.E. connector plug by peeling back the O.E. wire covering/insulation and connect the wires as depicted in the wire color cross reference chart shown above.

Simply re-use your factory screws when mounting your new RECON LED 3rd brake light. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THEM. Remember you are screwing down into a plastic housing and care is needed to ensure a nice snug fit that isn’t so tight that you crack the plastic housing. Apply a little RTV silicone in the screw holes and on the gasket before you install to ensure a nice water-tight seal & enjoy your new RECON LED 3rd brake light & remember to Light’Em Up w/ RECON Truck Accessories!!!
