The stock ones were usually chrome and even when they weren't they appeared chromed due to the bulb reflectors.

The OEM third brake lights were not chrome. They did not appear so either.

Yep they we're definitely not chrome! I got my OEM one off eBay new a few years ago for $25 and for the dealer price of $200 that's Stupid pricy. It sucks all the aftermarket ones are the stupid euro led BS

FYI. The Ranger / Super Duty third brake light doesn't fit. It is too large for the opening.

I am still looking for a nice replacement third brake light.

I came across my old thread from several years ago. It looks like these are the part numbers for the light assembly. Does anyone know if Ford ever put out another version or just these two?

F4TZ13A613A replaced F2TZ13A613A

It appears that no dealers have any in stock.
