LED Third Brake Light with Cargo Lamp — Ford F-150 2009-2014

A multifunction lamp for the 2009-2014 F-150. The supplier lists three functions: brake light, position light and cargo bed lighting. The last one earns its keep on a pickup — loading the bed after dark with no light above it means working with a torch between your teeth.

The photo shows a long housing with a smoked lens: a red LED bar in the centre and two white lamps at the sides aimed down into the bed. An inset shows it mounted above the cab rear window, in the place of the factory third brake light.

Fitting and notes

The supplier states no E/ECE approval for this lamp. That means neither that it is approved nor that it is banned — it means there is no document on the subject. A third brake light is a mandatory item and is checked at roadworthiness testing, so settle this before registration or the test.

The supplier describes neither the fitting nor the wiring: there is no word on whether the connector is plug-and-play into the factory plug, or whether the bed lighting needs its own feed and switch. No dimensions, supply voltage or ingress rating are given either.

Frequently asked questions

Is the lamp road-legal?

The supplier states no E/ECE approval at all. Settle this with the seller before registration or roadworthiness testing.

Does the bed lighting work independently of the brake light?

The supplier does not describe it. That is one to clear up before buying.
