3rd (or High Mount) Brake Light Assembly Replacement, 2004 thru 2008 F-150 Trucks 

Learn how I replace the 3rd (or High Mount) Brake Light Assembly to ensure water does not enter the Truck Cab and cause rust and corrosion. I replace the stock OEM 3rd Brake Light Assembly with the same OEM style assembly, but use the least expensive Rock Auto TYC replacement. I discuss the importance of replacing this Assembly if you have not done so.
