Hey guys... first post here
I've had my 2006 Ranger Sport for a few months now.
I was disappointed when I noticed that the 3rd brake light was nothing but a brake light and didn't have the side cargo lights. From reading here I think Ford did away with this several years ago - bummer.
Where can I find a replacement light that has the cargo lights included?
I've found a few LED replacement 3rd brake lights, but nothing for an 06, they are only for 03's and F150... Will a Sport Trac light work?
And do I need a different wiring harness to have the brake light/cargo light capability, or can I just wire the cargo light seperately to the dome light? Thanks for the help

you can get one from ford with the cargo lights, just get one for an older ranger(they are all the same 93-07).
i think underdog has the led lights www.stuffforyourranger.com
as for the wiring im not sure, if you take the light off and see more then two wires it should be there.

 

WOW! that was fast.
Thanks 5speedin2.3 - I appreciat the info! I know it's hard to find OEM Ford parts online, if I went OEM should I just go to the dealer, or is there a place online that is cheaper?
Thanks again

 

dealer $36 bucks... BUT I would check into a euro type for $65 from Granite Guy...

 

Cool - thanks, I'll go check it out now!
Do you have one of the euro style type on you truck?
i appreciate the help and advice

nah I got the stock all red

 

best bet is to goto ford. just say you need one with the cargo lights.
i think they are only $30-$40
i remember calling about mine becuase it was leaking and i think they wanted $30.
but i just used silicone to seal it.

 

Ah, so granite guy basically is www.stuffyourranger.com :)
I guess he sells everything thru the site? They are running a special this month on the LED(euro) style this month $65
Is that what you meant by getting one from granite guy?

 

Ok, I'll prob. go that route, cheaper and for most things I actually like the stock look. I just have to figure out how to get power to the 2 cargo lights.

thanks guys

 

yup. thats the cheapest youll find it besides ebay, but thats a needle in a haystack type deal.

 

yeah thats what hes talking about, if i had the money i would get the smoke one.
but im done spending money on crap for my truck, other then maybe lifting it.

 

I think the euro one would look good on my 07...

 

I'm sure it would...
We basically have the same exact truck from what I can tell of your picture. Only diff. appearance wise, I have the 5 spoke wheels, which I really dig. I need to take some pics.

Not to get off topic - but does anyone here know if the OEM raised bed rails wiIll fit my bed? I assume they will not much has change since 97???
I don't even think those are offered as an option anymore, but I like the look of them, better than just plain bed rail covers.

 

The wires not there for the cargo lights, I will when I get time run a wire from my dome light back to the LED 3rd brake light I bought from Underdog.

Will you post some pics of the install and the final result? If you have the time and don't mind...

good luck
