Nilight LED Third Brake Light for Ford F150 1997-2003 & 2004 Heritage — Red, Direct-Fit, IP67 Weatherproof

Nilight's red LED third brake light is a direct-fit replacement for Ford F150 models 1997–2003 and the 2004 F-150 Heritage, providing brighter, faster illumination and weatherproof durability. This high-quality third brake light swaps into your truck without modifications and upgrades the OEM halogen setup to a full LED module. Designed by an OEM-approved manufacturer using OE-grade materials, the unit combines a concentrated LED array, sealed housing and a foam mounting pad to restore or improve rear visibility while matching factory fitment and electrical connections.

Will this fit my Ford F150 or F-150 Heritage?

Yes—this unit is built to directly replace the original third brake light on specified model years and listed part numbers. It is engineered to match the OEM mounting points, connectors and dimensions so you won't need bodywork or rewiring.

• Compatible with Ford F150 model years 1997–2003 and F-150 Heritage 2004
• Replaces part numbers FO2890102 and XL3Z13A613AA
• Uses factory screws and plug-and-play electrical connector

How bright and fast are the LEDs compared to the original bulb?

The Nilight module uses a full LED light source with 30 built-in LEDs—6 dedicated to the brake function and 24 for the cargo lamp—so it lights up quicker and emits stronger light than typical halogen bulbs. Faster response and higher luminance both help make brake gestures more visible to drivers behind you.

• 30 total LEDs: 6 brake-specific, 24 cargo/parking illumination
• Notable increase in brightness versus OEM halogen lamps
• Quicker illumination response from LED technology

Is it durable enough for outdoor conditions and long-term use?

The assembly features a sealed housing with a high-density foam back pad and an IP67 rating to resist water and dust intrusion. For optimum long-term weather protection, apply a bead of butyl sealant around the fixture after installation to reinforce the factory-style seal.

• IP67-rated protection against water and dust
• High-density foam mount included to seal the rear surface
• Recommendation: apply butyl sealant post-install for maximum waterproofing

How difficult is installation—what tools and parts are needed?

Installation is designed to be plug-and-play using your truck's factory screws and connector; no drilling or cutting should be necessary. Use a hand screwdriver to avoid over-torquing the housing, and retain or reuse the original fasteners for proper fitment.

• Plug-and-play electrical connector—no splicing required
• Use factory screws (included screws optional) and a hand screwdriver
• Included: LED third brake light and high-density foam pad

Who is this for? This Nilight LED third brake light is intended for owners of Ford F150s from 1997 through 2003 and the 2004 F-150 Heritage who need a direct OEM-style replacement or want a brighter, longer-lasting LED upgrade.
