Well, let's start with a little more information first. What truck (year, trim, etc.)? New or used (when you got it)? Any custom stuff? Where is/was this piece located.

It doesn't look like anything native to an F-250, but hey...we could all be surprised!

Doesn't look factory to me. I appears to be some kind of LED light.
5 LED's + the control circuit.
EDIT:

I think its a base for an aftermarket backlit ford emblem, either a grill, tailgate or trailer hits.

Looks like the base of a Ford Emblem, wonder if it is the base plate for a tailgate emblem with the camera??? The rounded oval ends make me think this!

It's a 99 f250 super duty xlt
It is a used truck not sure how many people before me, it's located an the driver side A pillar. Idk about "custom" but there was stuff done to it ummm the headlights, tail lights, 3rd brake light and a aftermarket radio. There was 4 12" subs laid out a crossed rear seat. There is a viper alarm system that is hooked up but doesn't work and also truck didn't come with clicker that's about all I know as of right now.

Front grill has been changed, tailgate emblem seems to be the same. I'm lost about the trailer hits thing though😂

WEll, glad you found out where it went anyway. Can't help you on what it was for, but at least we figured out it wasn't part of the original truck.
