Tail light socket and pigtail

Are the 2006 brake light sockets the same as the earlier 2 bulb set ups? Like 01-05?

And how many wires are coming out of the brake light socket on a 2006?

brake/tail/turn lamp socket and reverse sockets fit into the 06+...so i assume they are the same. 3 wires for the brake/tail/turn, 2 wires for the reverse.

It's been a while but I do recall they needed some assistance, When I put in my reverse they actually didn't fit right into the 06s, a little trimming was necessary but nothing major.

Must be a 93-97 thing, I'm pretty sure Maurice gave me a heads up that the reverse hole would need a little notch cut out to fit the socket. So you think from 98 up the tail lamp harness are all the same?

Does this look right to anyone?

Why does it show 3 bulbs for a 04-08 ranger?

And is number 7 the socket and pigtail for the brake light ya think?
