Replacement Third Brake Light

I've been looking through online catalogs and Ebay and can not find a new third brake light assembly either Ford or aftermarket. I thought Dorman made replacements. Does anyone know where I can get one besides those hideous LED units on Ebay?

I believe they are all LED now. Just have to choose which of the many styles you want. Here's a suggestion.

I really hate the look of those. I can't see having it on my truck. The chrome just looks like extra bling, which I have no interest in.

I've been considering getting one from a Super Duty, at least it would look stock.

If found this and think it would be a decent solution.

Try car-part.com

That's a nation-wide junk yard inventory search tool.

That is a great site, but I'm not really looking for a used one. Most of them aren't in great condition.

That is only marginally better and still doesn't look right.

Ok, and the problem is what? You want a NEW ford piece but you don't want to pay the New Ford Price?

I don't even know if its still available. I am going to call about it.

I've bought NOS ones on Ebay for $50 before at least twice.

Its not worth $200 to me.

I remember there being an aftermarket reproduction.
