Consumer Description

3RD BRAKE LIGHT LAMP LEAKS AND HAS FOR THE LAST 3- 4 MONTHS. WATER LEAKS AROUND THE LIGHT AND DRIPS DOWN THE CEILING OF THE CAB DOWN BACK WALL OF THE TRUCK INTO THE CARPET OF MY TRUCK. IT GOING TO USE IT TO START TO SMELL AND MOLD. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME HE HAS REPLACED HUNDREDS OF THESE LAMPS AND THE NEW FORD PART NEVER LEAKS WHILE HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL OF THE AFTER MARKET ONES ALWAYS LEAK. FORD SHOULD REPLACE ALL OF THESE AT THEIR EXPENSE, AS THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A GASKET DESIGN FLAW.
