Direct-Fit LED Tail Light for 1953–1956 Ford Pickup

This driver-side LED tail light replaces the original unit on 1953–1956 Ford pickups with a direct-fit design. It uses a 1157 double connector with offset pins that plugs into the existing socket. The solid-state circuit board is engineered for 12VDC vehicle systems. Builders restoring period-correct lighting will appreciate the factory-style fit.

Epoxy-Sealed Housing and Polycarbonate Lens

The electronics are completely sealed in epoxy to resist corrosion and moisture ingress over time. A red polycarbonate lens provides durability against impact and weathering. The plastic housing measures 9.2 by 6.75 by 1.45 inches and weighs .49 lbs. This construction suits daily-driven classics exposed to road salt or humidity.

Requires Compatible Under-Dash Flasher

The LED circuit requires an electronic flasher for correct blink rate; United Pacific 90652 (2-terminal) or 90651 (3-terminal) are the recommended units. No flasher is included in the box, so buyers must source one separately. Installation remains a simple plug-and-play swap once the correct flasher is fitted.
