Cargo Bulb Led replacement

[TruckNorris]

One of my led cargo bulbs is out in the third brake assembly. Can i just replace the bulb? Also what are the screw types holding them in?

If this is an LED assembly, they are not replaceable, the assembly would need replaced.
It may just a bad connection in the assembly - as it's a single wire feed for both bed lights and is spliced off (to operate both Left & Right) in the assembly itself.
Might get lucky and just a simple wire repair.

The assembly PN is: KB3Z-13A613-A

I think they are Torx Screws but would have to check for sure.

I have a 2021 XLT FX4. If your 3rd light is stock it has 3 bulbs and they can be replaced individually (replaced mine with led bulbs). Should be simple enough to hop up in the bed and confirm the screw head type (pretty sure they are torx as mentioned in the previous post).

Since it is possible to have both styles:
Here is a visual comparison of the light assemblies.
The non LED style you can actually see the bulb through the Lens

It appears that trim options for the 21 (XLT) shows that you have (LED) taillamp assemblies with BLIS but the CHMSL is standard bulbs, and the LED style was only included on the Lariat Trims along with LED Headlamps and Fogs as part of the package.

You could do this and have a cool flash to slowing down,

In April of 2024, I replaced my cargo light bulbs with the Auxito 2835 15-SMD and the amount of lighting it provides to my truck bed and surrounding of the truck is extraordinary. I first did this on my F-250 Superduty work truck with the Auxito 42-SMD 921 because I noticed that the housing appeared to be melting on the inside due to the heat of the factory incandescent bulb (see pictures below). I didn't want this to happen on the Ranger as I often have the cargo bed lamp on for extended periods at night. For over a year, both models have been great and provided lots light with no flickering or dimming.

Thanks for the post and pics. I'd like to replace mine on the '22 XL and it's nice to have the part number - thanks!

Do they look like this?

I originally got it so I could blind tailgators... but now I realize that thing is too bright to shine on humans... even the shitty ones. So it actually is a cargo light now.

Man, I really like it! How did you route the wire and switch?

My installer ran the wiring harness under the truck and up between the bed & cab. He left me 2 feet of slack so I can place the light bar anywhere I want. I may reposition it when camping or hunting at night. I have it wired in to my Auxbeam switch panel.

You’re welcome. Looks like they are on sale right now. Might have to pull the trigger for third brake light.
