Quick and crazy question............

I have a 93 F-150 King Cab and was curious if it came with a 3rd brake light (on rear of cab).

Granted, I to have a light fixture up there, but it appears to be stock and older (dirty, old, stained etc). Its all clear and does work as a cargo lamp when I turn the headlight ****. It does not acitvate when the pedal is depressed (reg tail / brake lights do however).

Just curious.....really would like a working 3rd brake light.

Ill post pics in the AM.

Thanks

Curt

 

No...1993 was the cutoff year...1994+ has the CHSL lamp...

You can grab one from a 1994+ truck and make it work...They're different widths though....The bolt holes are like and inch or 2 wider for the CHSL light, than the cargo lamp....

 

Here is a pic of the light turned on with the headlight switch .....

No 3rd brake light?




Sorry pics are kinda crappy but its 2:00AM here....lol

 

You have the cargo lamp....Only comes on with the dome light....

The CHSL is about 2" wider, and had red lenses in the corners....Again...Robbing a 1994+ truck will yield whatcha need....

Just have to drill new holes in the cab....

 

Ah gotta love modding......

I think since truck came with a draw-tie hitch, Ill get one of those 3rd brake light covers and attatch by way of harness....

Thanks for the super speedy reply

No problem....I still have the 3rd brakelight from my 94...And a chrome cover for it also!

Check my album called Ethel for pics....I loved it....Was unique....

 

Hello again....

A couple quick questions............

I was cruising eBay and ran across these two units.....it says :

YOU MAY NEED TO CUT THE WIRE AND HOOK UP THIS BRAKE LIGHT. (DEPENDS ON CAR APPLICATION)

Was curious on cutting what wire? Do I have to tap the brake light somewheres and run it up through the truck to the light fixture (ie removing headliner and what not.....just a bit foggy on it)

92-95 96 FORD BRONCO LED 3RD THIRD BRAKE TAIL LIGHT RED | eBay

 

Just use some wire, splice it into the tailliamp harness.....then up to the 3rd Brakelight.....As long as you can get the applied power from the taillamps redirected to the 3rd brakelight, yer good...

 

Well sounds easy enough...jsut want to make sure I am on the right track and want to do a clean install as well. Dont want any wires hanging around back there.

 

It's cool man...Notta prob...

If ya want, just locate and pinpoint the taillight wires, and just take the shortest route.....Less wire, less mess...

Again, just like christmas lights......One starter lamp, then simply splice into it for the rest....

 

If he splices into taillights it will illuminate when lights are on just not brake

 

Damn..You're right....Hmmm.....Then figure out the wire for ONLY the brake.....Look behind the pedal at the assembly.....Shouldn't be hard....Just need patience....

Again...Haven't TECHNICALLY did this...Just know the jist of what needs to happen....
