HOWTO - 1999 F150 Flareside Taillight removal
Here is the procedure to remove the Tail light on a 1999 F150 Flareside Pickup...
1) Open the tailgate and remove TWO Hex head screws...
You can use a 8mm or 5/16 inch socket.
I removed the TOP screw first as I had to hold up the tail gate to get access to that screw.
You may want to hold the tail light when removing the second screw or it might just fall out...
2) I ease out the tail light after removing the two screws...
3) This tail light assembly has 3 colored harnesses. Just twist the harness to remove it from the Tail Light.
Continued below...

So, what does it take to make both red brake lights work, not just the upper one. I've seen that posted on this site before, but I can't seem to find it again.
On later model flaresides/supercrews, both red lights are together and the reverse is either above or below I can't remember, but all of the red lights up with the brakes.

Great post!
Just a question:
i wanted to install an aux backup light (probably using something like a fog light).
can i just tap from the wiring on the tail-light's backup wires? where's the best place to tap it? i'd like to have it automatically turn on when i put the gears in Reverse.
thanks.
