Bed light

Hi Guys
I have 2003 F-150 and I am trying to find rthe correct name so I can try and find some


Does anyone know the part number for the lights that go here. Or at least the correct name so I can go hunting.
UK based so can't pop into a local Ford dealership

TIA

Lights?

Those are drain holes. That’s what I’ve always thought. Definitely not lights as those weren’t even a factory option idea until rather recently.

Lights would do no good buried behind stuff once you’ve loaded the bed, anyway. In my Ram, the bed lights are actually mounted inside behind the tail lights, opposite end of the bed.

One guy here told me about an LED cargo light/third brake lamp by Recon I believe. This may work if you require more lighting there.

In my '96, I have installed a 'power port' in the bed where I can run whatever that runs off 12V. An inverter with an LED lamp works great. Charge your phone. Whatever.

The cargo/third brake light is above the rear window.

OP appears to need more lighting and I gave him options. What have you offered?

My mistake, I figured after more than 8100 posts you knew what a cargo/3rd brake light was and where it was located. If you're suggesting he install one in his truck bed, great idea!

The OP's bed light by the 3rd brake light might be burned out and he doesn't realize it. This is an informative post.

It's called the Cargo Lamp.
