High-Mount Third Brake Light - 1987 Mustang

The high-mount third brake light for the 1987 Ford Mustang, OEM part number E7ZZ-13466-A, is an essential safety feature that enhances visibility. When sourcing this part, look for compatibility with 1987-1993 Ford Mustangs, as the design remained relatively consistent across these years. Common inspection points include checking for cracks in the lens and ensuring the bulb socket is corrosion-free. Installation is straightforward; simply detach the existing unit and reverse the process with the new assembly. Ensure the wiring harness is securely connected to prevent any electrical issues. Many owners find that the original brake lights fail due to moisture intrusion, so it's wise to inspect the seals during replacement. For an optimal fit, particularly if considering junkyard options, verify the mounting bracket differences, as some mid-cycle changes may affect installation.
