Review on 🚦 Chrome Housing Smoke Lens Rear High Mount LED 3rd Third Tail Brake Light Stop Light for Ford Escape Explorer, Mercury Mariner & Mountaineer by Gallo Carone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

EH work and cheaper than replacing light bulbs!

Perfect for my 10 year escape. Just remove the old one and replace it with the new one. However . . . As already mentioned, extreme care must be taken when working with the seal. Apply some lamp grease or dielectric grease to the connector. Skinny! This protects against the ingress of water and facilitates disassembly if necessary. I used a small zip tie as a clamp for the washer nozzle hose. Probably not necessary, but it's worth nothing for insurance. Some have noticed that the spray pattern of the new nozzle is different than the standard nozzle and it is, but in my opinion it can be used. I have not received any replacement mounting material. Rather than reusing old rusted screws, I used several stainless steel pan head screws with similar threads and Torx heads. I put a washer of the appropriate size on top to improve the bearing surface. It took me about 20 minutes to do the swap and it was worth it! The light isn't much brighter, but it's more focused from behind. It NOW also illuminates when the brake pedal is depressed. A few milliseconds of security can be vital!

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
